Tissot's indicatrix, which describes and visualizes the distortion of a map
The village was the original home of the Swiss watchmaker Mathey-Tissot.
Tissot’s indicatrix (Tissot indicatrix, Tissot’s ellipse, Tissot ellipse, ellipse of distortion) is a mathematical contrivance presented by French mathematician Nicolas Auguste Tissot in 1859 and 1871 in order to characterize distortions due to map projection.

The authority with which the work was subsequently treated — Tissot's arguments were even acknowledged and echoed by luminaries such as Kant and Voltaire — arguably turned the perception of masturbation in Western medicine over the next two centuries into that of a debilitating illness.
Goldberg and Gott show that the Winkel tripel fares well against several other projections analyzed against their measures of distortion, producing small distance errors, small combinations of Tissot indicatrix ellipticity and area errors, and the smallest skewness of any of the projections they studied.
