Mathey-Tissot states that the company was founded in 1886 in Les Ponts de Martel in the Swiss Jura Mountains. On its history page, the brand says it initially specialized in repeater watches and later expanded into chronographs. The same page says demand had grown enough by 1890 for a larger factory to be built, and it describes supplying watches for military use during the First and Second World Wars.
The history page also attributes several distinctions to the company. It says Mathey-Tissot collected prizes and awards in Europe for its early chronographs. For 1914, the site says six split-seconds chronographs entered in the Kew Observatory Competition all passed the Class A rating, with one setting a record not previously attained, and that the company received the Grand Prix at the Swiss National Exhibition in Berne that year.
Collections shown on the website include 1968, Allure, Artemis, Bolton II, City, Edmond, Electra, Evasion, GMT, Heritage, Infinity, Lagoon, Mathy, Miss, Monsoon, Urban, Zeus, and Pocket Watch. The site also shows lines such as Evasion Open Heart, Mathy I Day-Date, Zeus Chrono Auto, and Zeus Lady Diamond.
The terms and conditions page says Mathey-Tissot is a brand of SWP Swiss Watch Partners SA, whose registered office is at 7, Avenue Krieg, 1208 Genève, Switzerland. The homepage states "Swiss Made Since 1886," and the warranty page says Mathey-Tissot watches are covered for twenty-four months from the date of purchase.
