The Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Powermatic 80 is precision,
luxury, traditional and contemporary all displayed in a superb
timepiece This watch is not only a practical timekeeping tool but
will also stand out for the right reason on the wrist of any man.
For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and
tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of
the Jura ains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien
Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company
Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in
the research for special materials or in the very functions of
the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have
developed pioneering timepieces over the years. Some of Tissot's
triumphs over the years include the the Idea 2001 (the world's
first plastic watch) released in 1971, the Rock watch (which set
the timepiece's movement in a stone case made from Swiss Alps
granite) in 1985, and the Wood watch from 1988 (with a completely
wooden case). Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA
Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials
(316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratch-proof glasses
(sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers). The company has been
involved with high profile sports events since 1974 when they
sponsored a racing car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, France. Since
then Tissot's timepieces have been chosen as official timekeepers
for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice
hockey. And Tissot is currently the the official watch and
timekeeper of NA. Tissot timepieces have been worn by a bevy
of celebrities over the years--including Grace Kelly, Elvis
Presley and Nelson Mandela--and James Stewart's character L.B.
Jefferies wore a Tissot timepiece in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear
Window." Today the company is represented in a variety of
sporting fields by English soccer star Michael Owen, IndyCar
driver Danica Patrick, and MotoGP world champion Nicky Hayden.
Today, Tissot is a member of the Swatch Group, the world's
largest watch producer and distributor.
