When people hear the word "Tissot" they may not immediately recognize it as a watch brand, but that it is. Tissot was founded in 1853 by Charles-Felicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile who set up shop in Switzerland.Known as "innovators by tradition", Tissot has achieved many "firsts" in the watchmaking industry. In the first year of its existence, Tissot created the first mass-produced pocket watch and the first pocket watch that showed two different time zones. In 1929, the company introduced the first anti-magnetic watch.Tissot has been known to make watches out of bizarre materials such as plastic and wood. In 1971 the company produced an all plastic watch called the IDEA 2201. In 1985 they came out with an all stone one called Alpine Granite Rock watch, an all mother of pearl piece in 1987 and one made entirely of wood, aptly called the Wood Watch in 1988.It is common practice among watch brands to partner with and sponsor events that draw the same type of customer as the watch brand itself does.

We live in a green age. Recycling is positively encouraged and many new businesses have come up with innovative ways of reusing materials to deliver an entirely new product. Whether recycling packaging, garden materials or domestic waste there is someone somewhere who can make something useful from what others would throw away. The recycling ethic is being adopted by more and more people in the UK as they become intolerant of needless waste, but in some less well-off countries recycling was borne out of necessity. For example in Ethiopia they have been converting discarded lorry tyres into durable footwear for decades. This method of recycling has not only proved incredibly popular for locals but has now been taken one step further and become the foundation of an incredibly successful exporting company by one enterprising Ethiopian woman. Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu has added only one new ingredient to the rubber soled re-treads to make them more attractive; uppers made out of cotton or leather.
