Tissot Watch Repair

The Swiss watch company Tissot has been making innovative watches since 1853. Their pioneering spirit has seen them claim a number of firsts in both design and technology, including the world’s first tactile watch (T-Touch). Today, Tissot is part of the Swatch Group and is committed to upholding its rich tradition and pushing boundaries with new designs and materials.

Tissot watches are known for their practicality, advanced functionality and sleek styling. The brand is particularly well regarded for its use of tactile technology, which makes it easy to control functions such as compasses, weather, alarms and chronographs. The Tissot brand is also known for a number of sports-orientated timepieces, with the Tissot T-Race and the Tissot Chronofighter amongst the most popular models.

Like all watch brands, Tissot’s timepieces are subject to wear and tear, meaning they will require occasional maintenance and repair work. A qualified and experienced watchmaker is the best person to provide this service. Having expert Tissot watch repairers on hand will help to ensure your timepiece is kept in top condition.

Many of the most common watch repairs for Tissot include resizing the band or strap, replacing worn bands and replacing a broken clasp or pusher. A resizing service usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes. Bands made of leather, rubber and fabric can be resized by punching new holes. However, they will eventually run out of material and then the only option is to replace the band. Metal bands are usually resized by adding or removing links.

When it comes to replacing a broken clasp or pusher, the cost of a replacement depends on the type of material it is. A Stainless Steel buckle or strap will be less expensive than a gold one. Likewise, the clasps on a metal bracelet are usually cheaper than the clasps on a leather strap.

Tissot watches often feature crystals, which are a clear piece of material that covers the face of the watch to protect it from scratches and damage. The crystal can be cracked or scratched and it’s important to take care of these issues promptly.

Most Tissot watches are water resistant, which means they can withstand submersion in water up to 3ATM or 100 meters. However, the gaskets and seals on the case back, crown, pushers and crystal will deteriorate over time and will need to be replaced. This is usually done during a battery change or any other work being carried out on the watch.
