In 1858, the younger Tissot, Charles-Émile, left for Russia and, with the Tsar's blessing, sold Tissot brand pocket watches throughout the Empire. In that first year, the company delivered between 11 watches to the region around Le Locle. Like most Swiss watchmakers founded at the time, Tissot started out as a comptoir, an assembler of parts sourced from individual makers in the region. The black dial with red accents is color coordinated with the solid stainless steel bracelet with folding clasp.Ĭhs Tissot & Fils was founded in 1853 in Le Locle, in the Jura in Switzerland, by the father-son duo Charles-Félicien Tissot and Charles-Émile Tissot, who were born and raised there.
This version of the Tissot Supersport Chrono has a Swiss-Made quartz movement and a stainless steel case. All models of the Tissot Chrono Supersport have a solid stainless steel case, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and are water resistant to a pressure of 10 bar (100 meters / 330 feet). The clean lines in combination with the impressive 45.5 mm case give the Tissot Supersport Chrono a strong personality. The Tissot Supersport Chrono Collection is perfect for the modern man who wants to wear his watch in everyday life, at the office and at sporting events.
