“The NBA Paris Game 2023 was the perfect platform to host such an event. It allowed us to demonstrate our expertise as Official Timekeeper but also to show what the brand is about by offering our guests a unique and highly memorable Tissot experience. We have a lot in common with the NBA, be it our values or our image, which is why we have been close partners since the beginning of our collaboration. It has also been a source of inspiration to create some beautiful watches. It is important to us to embrace the culture of basketball and we are looking forward to bringing more to the community.” -Sylvain Dolla, Tissot CEO.

To celebrate the longstanding partnership with the NBA Tissot enriched one of its most iconic sports watches, the Tissot SuperSport, with vibrant new straps.
