Silver Tavannes pocket watch, 1937
Silver Tavannes pocket watch, 1937.
The watch has a good quality Swiss 17-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. Originally there would have been a micro regulation addition to the regulator but this has been removed over the years, this does not affect how the movement works. The movement is signed Tavannes Watch Co, a company founded in the Jura Mountains in Switzerland in 1891 by Henri-Frédéric Sandoz. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a little scratching but nothing too serious at all.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Birmingham 1937, with a case maker’s mark for the Birmingham case maker Aaron Dennison. Often movements were imported into the UK to be cased and prepared for wholesale, this was often to avoid import taxes on precious metals. The case is in lovely condition, just the odd minor mark and light surface marks but again, nothing too detrimental at all.
The acrylic lens is in lovely condition.
The signed dial is in good condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
