Tissot Women's Watches

Tissot Ladies’ Watches – Swiss Watchmaking Since 1853

Tissot began as a family business in Le Locle, Switzerland. Its early watches reached international markets, including the United States and Russia, helping the company establish a presence beyond Switzerland.

During the 20th century, wristwatches became increasingly important to the brand. Tissot developed its expertise in both mechanical and quartz watchmaking and became part of the same watchmaking group as Omega. Following the challenges faced by the Swiss watch industry during the quartz crisis, Tissot ultimately became part of the Swatch Group.

The Development of Tissot Women’s Watches

Women’s watches have long formed part of Tissot’s history. In 1921, Queen Elisabeth of Belgium developed an interest in Tissot watches, while singer Carmen Miranda was associated with an elaborate Tissot jewellery watch set with diamonds and aquamarines in 1947.

Over the following decades, Tissot explored new designs, materials and technologies. Several watches were conceived as unisex models, including the Two Timer, an analogue-digital watch whose functions were controlled using a single crown. In 1985, Tissot introduced the RockWatch, notable for its case made from Swiss Alpine granite. The Sottsass, developed in collaboration with Italian designer Ettore Sottsass, was another example of the brand’s design-led approach.

In 1999, Tissot introduced the original T-Touch, bringing touch-sensitive operation to the brand’s watches. Tissot also developed distinctly feminine designs such as the Precious Flower, introduced in 2005 with a patented flower-inspired construction.

Classic and Contemporary Tissot Ladies’ Watches

Tissot’s women’s range spans classic, contemporary and sport-inspired designs. Depending on the collection and reference, watches are available with Swiss quartz or automatic movements, stainless steel bracelets or leather straps, and a variety of case and dial designs. Selected models also feature mother-of-pearl, diamonds or 18K gold components.

Gold details are found on selected women’s watches rather than across the entire range. For example, certain models combine a 316L stainless steel case with an 18K gold bezel, while diamonds are used on selected dials or bezels. The exact materials and decorative details therefore depend on the individual reference.

Tissot T-My Lady Watches

The T-My Lady collection was developed specifically for women, combining compact proportions with a restrained and versatile design. Features vary by reference, but available models include:

• cases measuring approximately 29 mm in diameter
• Swiss quartz or automatic movements
• 316L stainless steel cases
• sapphire crystal
• stainless steel bracelets or leather straps
• diamond details on selected references
• 18K gold bezels on selected T-My Lady Gold models
• up to 48 hours of power reserve and a Nivachron™ balance spring on selected automatic references

This combination of compact dimensions and different movement, strap and material options allows the collection to cover both understated and more decorative styles without presenting individual features as standard across every T-My Lady model.

Choosing a Tissot Ladies’ Watch

When choosing a Tissot ladies’ watch, the movement is one of the main distinctions. Quartz models offer a practical option for everyday wear, while automatic watches appeal to those who prefer a mechanical movement. Case size, dial design, bracelet or strap and materials provide further points of comparison.

Depending on the model, options include stainless steel bracelets, leather straps, mother-of-pearl dials, diamond details and gold components. Tissot also offers men’s and women’s watches within collections such as Le Locle and Everytime, allowing similar design styles to be selected in different sizes and executions.
