A vintage 1920s Tavannes half hunter pocket watch.
A vintage 1920s Tavannes half hunter pocket watch.
The watch has a nicely jewelled Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is stamped with the 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 is the Star model made in England by the Dennison Watch Case Company. The case is in good condition with just light surface marks and a couple of small "dings" nothing serious at all.
The front cover has a small lens surrounded by enamel filled Roman numerals. The front cover is opened by pressing the winding crown in.
The watch lens is acrylic and is in nice condition. the outer lens is acrylic and is in nice condition.
The dial is in nice condition.
The watch has blued steel hands (including the special half hunter hour hand), a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
