In 1929, the global financial collapse brought the entire watch industry to a standstill, and Omega and Tissot forged an alliance under the leadership of Paul Tissot-Daguette, who had been trained at Tissot and became Omega's chief executive officer in 1930. The merger formed Société Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogère (SSIH), and Tissot-Omega watches from this era are sought after by collectors.
