The Swiss mechanical watch did not die. Despite the rise of the smartwatch, the heart of Swiss watchmaking beats stronger than ever. While the world's attention often drifts toward the unobtainable luxury of Rolex or Patek Philippe, one brand has quietly driven the industry forward for nearly two centuries: Tissot.

In Tissot: The Engine of Time, Dr. Cornelis van Houte provides a definitive historical analysis of the brand that produces more Swiss watches than any other. This is not just a book about watches; it is a chronicle of Innovators by Tradition-a journey from a father-and-son workshop in Le Locle to a global powerhouse shipping four million watches a year.
