Fencing champion, Margherita Granbassi, signs as Tissot ambassador

June 2009


Winner of the 2006 World Fencing Championship, Margherita Granbassi, joins the team of Tissot sports ambassadors as its first Italian member. The fencing discipline already features on the list of sports' world championships that entrust their timekeeping to Tissot.

Intensifying involvement in this high-precision sport is particularly appropriate in the year where Tissot celebrates the tenth anniversary of its innovative “Touch” technology - in fencing, each touch in a legal location scores a point.

Sharing values and competence
Margherita Granbassi personifies the Tissot fascination with a sport merging tradition and innovation, a winning combination close to the Swiss watch brand's own heart. Margherita's success is rooted in dexterity, precision and speed, while her competitive edge comes from constantly applying techniques to surprise her opponent. Underlining this fascination is the role that tactile technology plays in confirming the leadership of both Tissot and Margherita.
