In 1930, shortly after the Great Depression, Charles and Paul Tissot signed a sales and manufacturing agreement with the Brandt brothers, who were the founders of Omega in Bienna. After the signing, Tissot and Omega created the Société Suisse pour l’Industrie Horlogère (SSIH) holding. During that same time, Tissot created the first ever anti-magnetic watch. Tissot likewise created the first watch in a plastic mechanical case, known as the Astrolon. Under the careful guide of N.G. Hayek, Tissot created some of the world’s most innovative watch models including: the Rockwatch, Two Timer, Pearl Watch, and the Wood Watch.
