Overview
Founded in Le Locle in 1853 by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile. Merged with Omega into SSIH in 1930 and part of the Swatch Group since the 1983 restructuring. The 1853 printed on modern Tissot dials is this founding year and is not a model designation or reference number, though it is widely quoted as one.
