Antique silver Tavannes half hunter watch & chain
An antique silver Tavannes half hunter pocket watch with chain.
The Tavannes Watch Company was founded in 1891 by Henri-Frédéric Sandoz and his partners, wealthy fabric merchants. The company was very successful and very soon they were exporting several countries including Canada, Russia, United States, and the Far East.
By 1905, the company was producing 450,000 watches a year and over the next four years, this rose to three quarters of a million watches a year.
The company was constantly looking at ways to improve and in 1910, just four years before this particular watch was made, they won the Gold Medal at the Grand Prix de Bruxelles.
The watch has a good quality stem-winding movement,with jewelled pallets and a whiplash regulator, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1914, with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison. The front of the case has one fairly slight indentation next to number 8 and some unevenness to the back. Enamel filled Roman numerals around a small glass lens to the front.
The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is a plastic lens over a signed white enamel dial. There is a hairline crack running horizontally part way across the dial. Blued steel hands (note the special hour hand so that when the front cover is closed, the time can still be read).
The watch comes on a late Victorian silver double albert with a silver fob with initials.
The watch and chain come in an antique presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
Please contact us for international shipping prices.
The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
