Charming 1930s Tavannes pocket watch and chain
A most charming 1930s Tavannes pocket watch and chain.
The watch has a good quality stem-winding movement, 17 jewels with four adjustments, which is working well. The movement is signed Tavannes Watch Co.
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 they won the Gold Medal at the Grand Prix de Bruxelles.
This particular watch measures 45mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop so it is a little smaller than the normal 50mm diameter. The case is gold filled and it is in lovely condition with exquisite decoration to the back.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial is in its original finish and it is in good condition with just the odd minor mark, nothing too detrimental at all. The shaped hands are a particularly handsome feature.
The watch comes with a single chain which measures 25cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.

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.

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.

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.
