1920s State pocket watch by Tavannes, with chain


A vintage 1920s State stem winding pocket watch by Tavannes, with double albert.
The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed and it also has a US patent date of 24 May 1904 which relates to a patent in the name of Sandoz.
Cyma was founded by two brothers, Joseph and Theodore Schwob, in 1862. In 1892 they decided to go into partnership with Frédéric Henri Sandoz, owner of Henri Sandoz et Cie. The Cyma name was officially registered in 1903. Sandoz used the most modern of manufacturing processes and produced very high quality time-pieces, trademarked as Tavannes, Cyma and Cyma Tavannes. Their excellent reputation for quality meant that by 1910, Tavannes / Cyma were one of the largest Swiss watch manufacturers in existence. State, or Stayte, was one of the brand names used by the company.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made in England by the Dennison Watch Case Company. The case is in good condition with just light surface marks, nothing serious at all.
The watch lens is glass and is in good condition with just one small nibble to the edge, underneath the lens.
The signed dial is in good condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
The watch comes with a double albert with each chain measuring 20.5cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. There is also a fob included.
The watch and chain will be sent 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.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
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.
