Tissot was a Swiss manufacturer of luxury watches founded in

1853 in Le Locle, Switzerland.

Tissot introduced the first mass-produced pocket watch and

the first pocket watch with two time zones in 1853 and the
first anti-magnetic watch in 1929–30. Charles-Emile Tissot
left for Russia in 1858 and succeeded in selling their
savonnette pocket watches across the Russian Empire. The
Tissot company was also the first to make watches out of
plastic (IDEA 2001 in 1971), stone (the Alpine granite Rock
watch in 1985), mother of pearl (the Pearl watch in 1987), and
wood (the Wood watch in 1988). Tissot merged with the
Omega watch making family in 1930 and Tissot-Omega
watches from this era are sought after by collectors. Tissot’s
parent company The Swatch Group define Tissot as a “mid-
range” brand.
Still based in Le Locle, Switzerland and marketed in 160 countries around
the world, Tissot has been a member of The Swatch Group Ltd., the largest
watch producer and distributor in the world, since 1983.

Tissot is an official timekeeper for the world championships in cycling,

motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey, and was used for the Davis Cup in
1957 and Downhill Skiing in Switzerland in 1938. Tissot was also a key
Sponsor for the Formula one teams Lotus, Renault and Sauber. Tissot’s
first engagement as an official timekeeper was in 1938 where they timed a
series of Ski races in Villar, near the company’s home town in the Jura
mountains.

SEVERAL YEARS HAVE GONE INTO REVERSING THE MYTH THAT
WATCHES MADE FOR PRIVATE SALE TO MILITARY PERSONAL,
ADVERTISED TO MILITARY PERSONAL, AND DESIGNED FOR
MILITARY ARE NOT “MILITARY WATCHES.” YET SINCE WWI AND
THE WRISTLET WATCH, MORE WATCHES WERE SOLD DIRECTLY TO
THE SOLDIER.

OUR CLAIM AND THE RESULTING FACTS DEMONSTRATE

THAT THERE WERE/IS WATCHES DIRECTLY

AND ADVERTISED AND SOLD DIRECTLY TO MILITARY

 WWII POPULAR HACKED SWEEP
SECONDS
CENTER SWEEP
By WWII, the sweep second hand watch had became “the”
watch. Two of the major reasons were the Government issued
U.S.A. A-11 hacking sweep seconds pilots watch and the
sweep seconds watches in demand by Doctors, Medics and
Nurses . The sweep second watch simply made the watch
more than an instrument to “tell time”….

The sub-second style dial, with a tiny second hand rotating

around a tiny seconds register at the 6 position, was difficult
to utilize for timing events. In most cases it was ignored. On
the other hand, a sweep second hand could be used to time
events, mark events, and was easier to read .
 THE DESIGN
So, what did Record and other manufacturers do?

Did they re-tool and re-design new movements? NO!

They simply placed a hollow canon pinion that allowed a

wheeled center shaft to protrude through the dial, mounted a
second hand to it, and ran the combo with the very sub-
seconds wheel they were eliminating…

Instead of the drive train turning the dial protruding

shaft/pinion at 6 position connected to the tiny second hand,
they mounted a large brass/alloy wheel on the opposite side
of the shaft that now protruded through the bridge. That
wheel turned a wheel on top of a NEW center “shaft’ held in
position be a new this jeweled bridge that went through a new
HOLLOW center cannon pinion in the center of the
movement that then protruded through the center of the dial
where a new long ***sweep second hand attached.
***sweep second hand
technically, “sweep” usually means rotating round without
TICKS. In other words, smoothly rather than “ticking” by
second round. In this write up, we are using sweep in a
general way to better explain our history and science. It made
no difference whether it was ticks or moves smooth, the idea
being that one had a large second hand that went round in
tune with the movement and the chapter ring so one could
count, time & now even synchronize.
