In this video, I head to Le Locle, Switzerland to check out Tissot's global headquarters. To say the very least, I came away impressed with the combination of artisanal watchmaking and modern technology I experienced. I also had the opportunity to check out some new releases with Tissot CEO Sylvain Dolla. If you'd like to see more videos where I visit brand headquarters around the world, be sure to comment on which brand you'd like me to explore down below.

I've never seen Teddy happier than during the tour. It's like a kid's first trip to Disney World. Please do more of these. It's great content.
Did any one else notice the square faced tissot next to the PRX?! That looks like a patej nattalius, but damn...I'd take one. No way I'm gonna buy a Patek, let's be frank
It's the pretty girl 🤗
Do a Tudor tour please!!!
@@carzakone333 I second it. I just wonder if they will be as transparent as Tissot.

How can so many people consider Tissot just as an "Entry Level" Swiss brand? They have the history and great design, just no inflated prices! Love the Telemeter Crono. More content like this Teddy!
Totally agree I have a tissot seastar and excellent quality for the price, an equivalent omega would be thousands more money
The white dialed Telemeter was absolutely gorgeous! I'm new to Tissot, but I am now very serious about getting one.
dont think most thinks Tissot as an Entry Level.... rather Mid Tier, within the Swatch Group they are not seen as Highend, they have others for that such as Omega and Rado. though I would agree that they have great design and improved. but lets not forget Tissot has and still has a big issue with their T-Touch models and are not watches meant to last a lifetime (cuz they cant)
Well, I just don't care what people say, I'm a proud and happy owner of a Timex M79 automatic. It's good enough for me. Greetings from Los Angeles California.
I agree, I also can't fault the build quality of them. They are like a Swiss Seiko.
Never imagined there's so much human involvement in the watchmaking of a Tissot! Absolutely brilliant!
I guess that’s why we have to wait to get the orders filled
@@kofiofosu9051 Definitely, I have a Visodate on order that's going to take a while to get here. After seeing this video I have the utmost respect for these guys and their jobs!
What human involvement were you particularly impressed with? This is all basic stuff. Even Vostok factory tour is more impressive as they build everything in house.
I thought the same thing............I have a new respect for mine
@@DM-rc4yu bruh Tissot is a Swiss brand..and there is so much hype around Swiss watches.
This feels like a premium TV series, keep the good work.
Respect to Tissot. They are the complete opposite of Rolex snobbery.
Completely agree I love how they're not a crazy overpriced luxury brand, even a below average Joe like me has a few Tissots. My favorite has to be my orange t-racer, mostly because orange was my sister's favorite color
To be fair, Tissot doesn’t actually make watches. They outsource dials, movements, and cases and assemble them, in a “too far away” location.
I’ve been a fan of Tissot, but this video just illustrates how far some Swiss brands have fallen. They have a “lottery” to see which model from their archive they’ll endeavor to reissue. There’s no refinery of the Valjoux movement, just placing a dial and case on it.
Rolex too has been resting on their laurels, but they are their own laurels. Rolex has made small but definite refinements over the last 30 years that go mostly unnoticed in their iconic/old model designs. Only someone who owns a 19xx model will appreciate the refinements in the 20xx version of that watch.
@@AV84USA like the narrower lugs on the maxi cases.
You snobs Rolex guys should know that Rolex is a pirâmides Bussiness everyone have to earn money 💰 lots of it ! Plus Tissot, Longines where the best watches back in the XIX century not Rolex or Richard Mill that’s plastic toys for snobs pay million dollars for a horrible watch 🤑 pure Marketing! On the other side you have a company showing up “almost everything “ go and try that at Rolex? Do they make their Subs in Switzerland? 😆 they need more room because of the lack of stock asked Swatch Group to rent some space 😆 all the 20/15 thousand Subs would value € 2500 those were the prices in the 80’s for a Sub without discount!
@@AV84USA Sorry to bust your bubble but Rolex have very little Horological pedigree. They outsourced everything and just assembled the watch. Only becoming a manufacturer when they bought their suppliers and we are talking as recently as 2004.
Bravo - Teddy's interviews with industry leaders never disappoint!
I was disappointed Teddy didn’t try to steal any watches. He should stop acting like a thug if he won’t prove himself.
@@GardenGuy1943 x'D bruh
Sometimes friends will underestimate Tissot, saying why would I wear it when I have watches from the "most desired luxury brands" - because mid-range Tissot are brilliantly designed, incredibly well finished, and an outstanding value. If you really love mechanical watches for the things that make them special, then you should have a great appreciation for Tissot. Thanks, Teddy - very cool video! Please do more.
The moment the "Most desired brands" attitude shines through, you know your "friends" are full of shit. They have appreciation only for the fancy, the show-off, the luxury, but not the craftsmanship.
Rolex Watchmaker are not necessarily better watchmakers than Tissot. What sets them apart, is the positioning in the market, and choice of materials.
I think we can all agree, we're SUPER excited about the 35mm PRX automatic! So glad that Tissot listens to their customers and is providing us with a piece we'll all be ready to jump on when it's available. I've literally just purchased the quartz version and I think I'll be gifting that one out soon!
Yes! Personally hope they make a 35mm automatic PRX in gold!
I really want a 35mm Powermatic with a Tiffany Blue dial
Is it known when they will release the 35mms?
@@ButainGraphics Didn´t they kinda say 2023?
Still on the side of waiting aha, will definitely be eager upon release to secure one
Teddy's videos are so good. They look so professional. It's no wonder watch companies are happy to work with him and give him so much access.
Hey Teddy is that really you on telegram asking for my info saying I won a watch?
Or I in the process
Of Being scammed
@@Smclaugh08 it’s a scam
@@Nikpredmi I PM Teddy on Facebook to find out because my comment got this same reply about a prize.
Watch out for the prize list reply above . It is a fraud. Other watch channels have it to. It is fake telegram account
I followed that prize to the point where they said I won a 35mm Longines Spirit....they don't even come in that size xD
Plus a few spelling errors and they want my address, number and email.
This was amazing. CEO clearly is passionate about the brand and products, and respects the history. Employees seem happy! Very cool to watch. Next watch will be Tissot
I love the way he describes the thickness. "The Valjoux is a strong movement" clever wording!
@Seef Kroy exactly ... Was saddened to see that first vintage re-issue they showed at 42mm ..Instant buy for me at 39-40mm
@@flow2tech I agree with this too. Good marketing... not so much for me though! I'm still saving for an El Primero.
That intro really made me ready for a epic interview! And that Chrono! Bravo Tissot
I hope you enjoy it!
@@TeddyBaldassarre Would be cool if you could do just this at Seiko ... Getting an inside look at the zaratsu polishing and all of that goodness would be super sweet.
@Swissguard
Yeah...
He's also got a tower for sale in Paris. 🤣
I love Tissot, my first watch bought is a Le Locle. When the CEO said that he's going to take Teddy to Switzerland to show more, I knew he will actually do that. I cannot think of a better person than Teddy Baldassarre. Love your videos and I can see the passion and knowledge. I think Tissot should pursue this path to bring more people over and show more about this. Is a good way to get out there.
PS: that chrono Tissot Telemeter looks amazing! Great design.
👆👆Thanks for watching and Commenting send a direct message right away we got something special for you.
I can think of a few other people I’d rather see.. Snoop Dogg and myself are what comes to mind.
I bought my Le Locle in 2005, love it.
The Telemeter Chronograph looks absolutely insane. Tissot killing it!
Tissot will always have a special place in my heart for being my first watch back in the day.
I’d absolutely love to see another video like this. I know you have done interviews with the following brands, but It would be fantastic if you could visit and tour the Hamilton or Longines factories, like you did in this video. Great content as always!
Particularly logines for me.
I‘d like to see how they organise Hamilton in comparison to Tissot as a second entry range brand in the Swatch Group.
Also a visit at Longines would be a very good choice as this brand is a strong brand with a lot of history to bring to the audience.
Longines tour would be great! Great idea!
I'm so happy to see all of the support for Longines. A great brand.
You have definitely outdone yourself Teddy. I’m watching the watchmaker put the Tissot PRX Chronograph together while wearing my Tissot PRX Chronograph. What an awesome feeling. Can only imagine being there physically. Well done Teddy!
Super informative video. Great to see the journey you have taken the last couple of years, to the point manufactures now credit your knowhow to convey the history of their product.
Just continue the way you are doing. I am a captive audience
Greatly appreciate your support and encouragement! Have a great Friday!
Damn the 35mm PRX looks so good! wish list for this christmas
Seriously my thoughts also.
it looks like a bedazzled prx
I LOVE Tissot. I'm 55 and an uncle of mine had a beautiful Visodate PR 516 GL of the 1970s, with a racer bracelet that was beautiful. Always remembered it. Then I knew that Tissot started making them again but couldn't buy one. I hope they make it yet again.
Great content, Teddy.
That's a good looking watch. I bought a reissue of this model in 2016😎
Very sympathetic Company. Im glad i own a Tissot
Teddy is both a kid in an amusement park, and also a teacher that is passionate about the subject.
Tissot is soooo cool and they’ve just been killing it! The more I learn about them the more I love them! Thank you for this wonderful interview Teddy! ✨✨
Nice to see a well run company that cares about it's customers, and delivers quality and style in a timely manner!
These watches have the same craftsmanship as more expensive watches, but are way more affordable and equally as elegant. I’ll be purchasing several of these models. Totally worth $1,500-2,500 per time piece.
Good to see that 35mm are making a comeback. Watchmakers fascinate me. It must be grueling to do that all day long. How often do they have to hold the loupe in their eye? Knowing where every part goes on several models is impressive to say the least. I only own one Tissot in my collection, but it is one of my favorites. Maybe I can ask Kloe' to show me around when I eventually visit Switzerland.
Best video ever!!! Videos like this one shows how Tissot is such a strong brand, not only in quantity of watches sold, but also in quality. So much respect for them, specially for the care they showed for Teddy (and us his viewers) when giving him interviews and tours. How generous a CEO joining us so we can have this tour! Thanks!!!
When I see people ask in a group of people that loves watches, who is their favorite watch reviewer UA-camr? Teddy is the only person that makes everyone’s list from what I noticed.
Makes such great content! Love it.
I love this brand, amazing quality at very decent prices✨
Excited for the possibilities of 35mm automatic PRX’s. Really hoping for one that looks just like the 40mm blue with the waffle dial
The wait is very annoying now
@@samsimmons2831 Tell me about it 😫
Is it known when they will release the 35mm's?
the attention teddy gives to the movement when the mechanic explained why he reset the chrono was a view, his face depicts the real interest and curiosity he has in mind, he was into it... and thats why i trust what teddy says in his videos.... love you buddy, big fan, you made me to buy so many watches but still i watch your videos
Watching this with a Tissot on my wrist- the piece that got me into watches. This video is a gift, Teddy, and while we may have more expensive or luxurious pieces, Tissot will always be a favourite- and an impressive one at that.
Omg you can just tell Teddy is so excited to be there! And he’s obviously just such a fan of Tissot! I love this.
Hey… I know you 😂
Incredible video. Bought my first watch last month, a Tissot PRX, and I love it. Seeing a video like this showing the process behind it creates more of a connection to it.
This shows how much Teddy cares about watches,is not only Rolex and Patek or AP,like others youtube watch guys do,it shows respect and attention to more affordable watches.
This is also a good example how you can get a stunning timepiece for affordable price.....Amazing...I will get a PRX soon ..thanks to your advices...Best of luck for everything in your future..you deserve it..
That telemeter 1938 in black and gold is a beauty.
Well done Teddy! I've been a Tissot fan for a while so I really enjoyed seeing what goes on at Tissot HQ. I HOPE you make this into a recurring series and take us on a tour of the HQs of Bulova, Seiko, and/or Swatch
The thing is that Tissot give to a lot of people the joy to wear amazing quality watches EVERYDAY! we don't have all the money to buy 10k watches every year!
Thank you so much Teddy for giving us this insider's perspective into the inner workings of Tissot! This is such a treat. Moreover, thank your being an unrelenting champion of Tissot - one of the few major Swiss watch brands that makes the exemplary standard of Swiss craftsmanship and luxury accessible to people of modest means. I really appreciate it.
Looking at the inside of manufacturing a Tissot watch really amazed me. A formidable presentation of the company done by Teddy Baldassarre was amazing. Recently I have seen the Tissot Moto GP 2020 Automatic and the PRX. Great to see the story and the passion behind the watches themself. Bravo 👏
Loved it! I've been hoping and waiting to see this since I got my first Swiss watch, a Tissot, in the late 90s. This is even more amazing than I thought they were. The attention to detail, quality, design, professionalism etc is just perfect. Tissot is a highly overlooked Swiss brand by those who don't know much about them and they deserve all the love and attention they get from watch enthusiasts and buyers in general. Thank you so much for the video and sharing with us your lucky experience of being given a full tour of the headquarters along with their early watches in their vault. All this great content and in 4K too! Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks again.
This comment has a good person vibe to it 😊 nice of you to note and appreciate. I’ve had my Tissot for 22Y and it won’t leave my collection. Wish you well with your watches and health.
As always, thank you for giving us these incredible videos Teddy!
Staggering the amount of processes a watch goes through at TISSOT from conception to the final destination the customer. Great content Teddy.
Enfin la PRX 35 avec le powermatic 80 !!! Je l’aime déjà 😍
Et quel plaisir de voir quelqu’un parler français dans la vidéo 🤩
Great to see they are making prx 35mm in automatic. Wish they would make 40 or 38mm chronographs tho like the heritage 1948
This was just outstanding - huge fan of the Tissot Heritage line and would love to see a sector dial rerelease. Well done, Teddy! 🇺🇸➡️🇨🇭
Wow. I love tissot a lot more after watching this amazing video. Beautiful and affordable watches made with precision.
Oh gosh this is getting me hyped. Can't wait for the full variations on that 35mm automatic PRX...
Love Tissot-one of my favorite watch brands. Great quality watches for affordable prices. Currently wearing the Tissot Gentleman while watching this!
Me too man haha black one with the date on it silver bracelet , Swiss matic
great watch for the price I agree
That blue PRS516 looks amazing.
The black Telemeter looks amazing!
Very interesting video. I am the proud owner off a PR 50 Chrono Nascar since december 2007. Your slogan "Gold value at silver price" is certainly right!! One day I will visit Le Locle and off course the Tissot headquarters!
Those look just like high end watches, i dont know how people look down on Tissot. Love them 👌🏽.
People who look down on Tissot are just ignorant, in my opinion. Tissot has an amazing heritage and a catalog that appeals to a wide range of watch aficionados.
@@jessem_i31 i agree brother 👌🏽❤️
These are high end watches. It upsets those who paid hopelessly too much for their watches. That PRS in blue, PRX etc is every bit as good as some other popular brands at more than twice the price.
Great content and thanks to Tissot for letting us take a tour! But I find it hard to believe that Teddy flew out to Switzerland just for one watch company. There must be more content coming from Switzerland, right?
This makes me so happy to have watched this. I own a Tissot Ballade PM 80 Chronometer and a PRX Chronograph. Seeing the level of passion and quality care that Tissot brings makes me thrilled to own their product. I had no clue 1/4 of all exported Swiss Watches were Tissot. Sylvain Dolla is and will keep doing great things for this company.
As a fan of Tissot and a person who recently retired after 40+ years as a Supply Chain professional I found this video to be very interesting and informative. Good job Teddy!!!
👆👆Thanks for watching and Commenting send a direct message right away we got something special for you
Fantastic content! I love when brands are involved like this. Hope to see more from Tissot this year!
👆👆Thanks for watching and Commenting send a direct message right away we got something special for you
That was awesome Teddy! Crazy organization in there and love to see the passion in all of the workers🙌❤
Wow!! Absolutely brilliant video, I have just bought my first Tissot, a Blue PRX Powermatic 80 with leather strap and seeing the Crono version being made makes me want to get one.
The warehouse is stunning, I envy you being allowed in.
its amazing, they dont make pretentious products. They treate each time piece with so much respect even the ones in archive. The histroy is enticing. Well done
This was fantastic Teddy .Loved the experience..Thanks for sharing ..I wish you could go to every Swiss made watch building..
You just put the Telemeter on my potential to buy list. Also, please put out more content with Kevin! You guys have a great chemistry together and always end up looking at fantastic pieces.
The PRX is a game changer. What a steal for a watch.
Breathtaking…Can’t wait to order my 1st Tissot!
Tissot nailed it with all of these new models! What a trip this must’ve been! My collecting has progressed to where I am more comfortable now investing in what the industry would call “luxury” class eg Tudor, Breitling, etc even though you could consider any watch over $200 bucks luxury. But I’ve never owned a Tissot and always wanted to. I currently have an Oris and Alpina in this pre luxury mid-range. With this new PRX series I think I found the perfect piece to complement that category of my collection. Great video.
I think Tissot is one of the best and nicest looking watches which also offers the best value, no other Swiss brand can top Tissot in terms of value and price, Alpina is like 3x the price of most Tissot and I find it looks so ugly, Hamilton are also about 2x the price of a similar Tissot and also usually uglier.
How does Teddy do it? Amazing content awesome interviews and he shows us alternative watches at different price points really giving his subscribers quality content. Well done Teddy.
One of the most beautiful Watch facility videos on UA-cam. I have seen lego factory, mattel hotwheels factory. This one is a great documentary. 5 ⭐ stars to Teddy 🧸
Purchased the PRX Chrono / panda with you guys, this video is just the icing on top!
Love it!
Excellent video, really enjoyed it. Thanks Teddy. For what it's worth I'd like to see behind the scenes at the Oris HQ.
We can do more in the future! With things opening up it will be easier to pull off.
@Swissguard Were you able to confirm?
I hate that I’m at work right now and can’t peep this till later
Have a good day at work, my friend!
@@TeddyBaldassarre Hey, thanks!
Teddy & his team are probably the only watch reviewers that have ever been granted access to a Swiss Watch headquarters like this, it’s astounding. Am glad a Swiss giant like Tissot gave that opportunity to probably my favorite watch reviewer, I feel humbled as well as a witness. I’m putting on my Tissot Watch today to celebrate this video! Congrats Teddy & team!
And thank you Sylvain Dolla! Appreciate you thinking of us as Teddy’s followers! I’ll be buying another Tissot soon..
Perfect CO and fantastic organization , beside their history we can notes Tissot Coming to the market with ver high quality and beautiful designs . ❤
Amazing video! More content like this would be great. Maybe some independent brands in the future if possible!! Keep up the amazing content
Tissot is an excellent value for money brand! The new watches look great but we need a 39mm or 40mm Seastar… Tissot, let’s make this happen! :)
It is funny how us as enthusiasts may snob certain releases every now and then. However, it is amazing to see the amount of man power/hand work that goes into assembling an entry level time piece. Thanks for the work Teddy.
Kudos to Tissot for giving you this kind of access, so many brands of their size would never allow cameras to roll in the areas they allowed you to film.
Seeing that watchmaker assemble the PRX Chrono was fantastic.
When you think of the difference between microbrands and a brand with extensive history, it's hard to watch this video and not place a great value - artificial or not - on such a incredible history in watch making.
Really? I don’t see Tissot doing even as much as Shinola does on their watch and case packing, and they are 100% hype.
@@AV84USA Not sure what your comment is relevant to, you mentioned Tissot then the rest is nonsense.
@@mad0uche Shinola is a much hyped microbrand that does more with their outsourced components before stamping their logo on them than Tissot does.
@@AV84USA I didn't ask you what SHINOLA was, terrible name btw. I was making a comment about the weight and value history and reputation of a brand has. It is a value that a sapphire crystal, random ETA movement and generic design like shinola has - will never obtain unless it somehow becomes relevant for decades to come.
@@mad0uche Tissot is relegating itself to “microbrand” history when they slap a stock Valjoux movement into an outsourced case and press in the crystal. SHINOLA adds more refinement to their boxed ETA movements, ESPECIALLY with a display back. Tissot Digging up old designs to replicate only serve to remind people that they are no longer that company, although they have had a very rocky past as far as quality goes (my first Tissot was $50 at Kmart in the 90’s)
SHINOLA is absolutely irrelevant as a watch brand, and yet it’s still out finishing Tissot, which is unfortunate.
The Gentleman Powermatic 80 was my first Swiss automatic. Also own a Visodate black dial for tuxedo wear. Really appreciate Tissot so warmly opening its doors to Teddy and his fans. Solidifies my appreciation for and loyalty to Tissot.
Awesome video on the Tissot facility and operation. Tissot does make excellent watches in the space and price range they occupy.
I had picked up a rose-gold LeLocle chronometer way back in February of 2013. It was running at +3.5 s/d (actual recorded over a number of days on wrist) when new, and it is recently running dead-on at 0 s/d (again recorded over a number of days on wrist). I have nothing but praise for this Company. As an aside, Hamilton is another company that I favor and have respect for.
One the important reasons for me collecting watches is the level of hand craftsmanship still involved. I marvel at the watchmakers’ patience and skill
Recently bought a Tissot watch. Wasn't the biggest fan of it at first due to the strap design but I got a personalized one for it and now love it to bits
More content like this. The tour of Tissot's facilities was fabulous. Good work!
Thank you for this. It was such a pleasure to watch.
Congrats to this video ! I’m a Tissot fan since the 80’s when I was working for ETA in Grenchen and working as an apprentice on the first Swatch assembly line. The ETA plant could be by the way a very interesting place for a video like this seeing how they fabricate the movements.
Love the on site visits. Documentary on the watches. This was great.
As a watch enthusiast, knowing about the history of a company is one of the many aspects I love about this pursuit. Thanks Teddy. Cleveland rocks.
The Tissot PRX chronograph is a stunner and I lover That PRS chrono too!
Dude…this is fantastic!!!!! Thank you Teddy for treating us with this tour! Would be incredible if you could do a Nomos Glasshuette tour next, perhaps?
Oh that museum section was fantastic. I loved those 1930s designs.
This is fantastic ! Congrats to Teddy and Team on a great episode
Just got my T Race Swissmatic, real beauty n beast! Blue dial... my 3rd Tissot. Never single problem... Real Value
Those chronos.. too nice. Nice touch with the chequer-flag engraving on the back of the PRS.
So, my first comment was after watching less than half this video. The rest of the video (especially the time with the actual watchmaker) is actually a very, very interesting insight into Tissot.
My dad got a Tissot for his 21st birthday, back in 1950. I have that watch now, and it still runs.
I have my first Tissot arriving in a couple weeks. This is making me all the more excited. I'm really JDM focused but Tissot is one of the only Swiss manufacturers that has caught and kept my eye - SO stoked, this video could not have come at a better time!!
Terrific episode, Teddy! Thank you. The size and scale of Tissot's behind-the-scenes operations is epic. Fascinating.
What a wonderful insight into all aspects of Tissot. Their archive gave me goosebumps, and their CEO was a charming chap with broad knowledge.
No one else is doing it quite like Teddy is! Teddy you are leading the watch enthusiast UA-cam pack. I enjoy your videos so much, so much attention to detail!
I don't know where to start off ! I have no words to describe how happy I'm to see someone like Teddy to interview and tour Tissot's Facility. I felt I was taking a trip to Disney World of Watches. Thus, I'm excited to see the new upcoming pieces on the market that are about to be released.
Thank you for sharing this tour at Tissot in Le Locle, Teddy.
Best regards.
Seeing Max at work is just fantastic, great to see the work that goes into this
guy is a machine. imagine having that steady of hands and precision. Truly talented and disciplined people
