Time Tracking
Since humans first started tracking time, we have been devising methods to tell time. From watching the position of the sun to sophisticated timepieces of today, we have been fascinated with time. Sundials, when invented, were state of the art timepieces, and were in use since ancient times. It wasn’t until the late 1300′s that clocks were invented. However, they were not too accurate, leading people to continue relying on sundials to tell the time. Even today, clocks are set to sundials for accuracy. The first portable clock, or watch as it is known today, was invented in 1504, but again, it was not accurate. Of course, this did not stop others from improving upon the design. Not only did people want watches to work better, they also wanted something fashionable. By 1853, a Swiss watchmaker, Charles Tissot, began mass production of fashionable pocket watches.
Not So Humble Beginnings
Most companies start out small, struggling to make ends meet and still earn a profit. However, the Tissot Watch company started out with a big bang and sold the first mass-produced pocket watch with two time zones. These watches were mainly sold to the Swiss market, but in 1858, Tissot’s son left for Russia to find other markets. He found success selling their savonnette watches across the entire empire. From the very beginning, awards and decorations for their innovative designs have proven that Tissot is a world leader in watches. Many companies should be so lucky.
100 Years of Innovation
In 1953, Tissot came out with the first watch to tell time for 24 time zones. Named the “Navigator”, it became the model for many popular hubs to tell time in many major cities across the world today. Changing attitudes, as well as a new sort of world economy, inspired this model. Tissot watches have always been innovative, but the Navigator was the beginning of a new era that changed our world forever.
Plastic Watches
1971 saw another new era in watch making-metal parts were replaced by plastic. This was a culmination of almost twenty years of research and development. The need to oil watch parts was no longer needed, making owning a watch much easier on the customer.
Early to Mid Eighties
The mid-1980′s saw a multitude of innovations in watch designs, as Tissot began rolling out even newer ideas in their watches. In 1985, they went back to their roots by producing a watch from rock found in the Swiss Alps. The red and yellow hands were symbolic of the hikers’ path signals in the mountains. Then in 1986, in response to digital time pieces, they produced a “two-timer” watch-one that shows both analog and digital time formats.
Since The-
From the 1980′s to today, Tissot has been designing state of the art time pieces that are virtually unlike anything on the market. For example, in 2008, the T-touch watch came on to the market. By simply touching anywhere on the watch face, one can access a thermometer, compass, alarm, or a variety of other options. If you are in the market for a unique experience, check out Tissot watches!

Is it cheaper to buy Tag Heuer watch parts and put it together myself?
Not really sure where I would get the parts (any suggestions) but I want one, and can’t afford one and don’t want to buy fake. I have seen the bands and winders for sale, so if anybody knows of a site to show me how to put a watch together, or where to get the parts, that would rock.
The idea you have doesn’t work, or else no one would be paying retail for a Rolex. They usually wouldn’t sell the casing for the parts, only internals. And some of those could cost a lot by itself.
