Mathey-Tissot

Founded in 1886 by Edmond Mathey-Tissot in the Swiss village of Les Ponts-de-Martel, Mathey-Tissot is a heritage watchmaker that often flies under the radar of casual enthusiasts but holds serious historical credibility. Crucially, Mathey-Tissot operates entirely independently of the Swatch Group's Tissot brand. Originally specializing in intricate repeater watches, the company built its mid-century reputation by producing high-grade chronographs, often utilizing legendary Valjoux movements.
