The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Vintage 1930s Tavannes pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement, identified as by Tavannes, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some surface scratching.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold filled Moon model by the Birmingham watch case maker Dennisons, a prolific case manufacturer and supplier to various watch makers. The case is in good condition, just one small “ding” to the bezel and one to the back of the watch but they are small.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The dial has a short faint hairline underneath the subsidiary seconds dial but barely noticeable to the naked eye. Otherwise it is in lovely condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
