A 1920s Tavannes open faced pocket watch.
A 1920s Tavannes open faced pocket watch.
Tavannes was set up by Henri Sandoz who previously had a company in his own name. He left this company, which was subsequently run by a family member, and set up Tavannes Watch Company in the small Jura mountain municipality of Tavannes in Switzerland. Many watch making factories bought in their movements but Tavannes made their own movements, such as the one in this particular watch.
The movement is stem-winding and is working nicely. It is signed with the Tavannes Watch Co name together with the movement reference 919. The nicely decorated movement is a good sign of quality as it was an extra expense during the manufacturing process. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The watch measures 50.5mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is Star model by the English based watch case maker Aaron Dennison. There is some minor marking to the case but overall it is very acceptable for its age.
The watch glass is in nice condition.
The white enamel dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track. The dial is in nice condition.
The watch 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.
