I am tempted at this point to start writing a topic here and now about Tavannes, but I think that this will have to wait - I must go and cook some supper. sets up a companyfounded in 1914 in Tokyo by Kono Shohei and managed by a former technical executive from Kintaro Hattori (Seiko & Citizen Watch Co.), assembles Tavannes Watch watchessold under the Pacific brand. Henri departed from the company in 1891 for unknown reasons and another family member, Jules Sandoz, continued the business.

The brand was established in 1891 by Henri-Frédéric Sandoz in Tavannes in Switzerland. In 1891, a young, talented master watchmaker, Henri Frdric Sandoz, founded the Tavannes Watch Company in a small Swiss village, Tavannes, in the Jura mountains. Tavannes Watch Company is a result of the marriage between two companies: Cyma, founded by the Schwob brothers, and Tavannes Watch Company, a smaller entity bearing the same name founded by the entrepreneur Henri Sandoz. Your purse watch is a really nice item and I would date it to about the mid 1930s. is a Swiss watch brand with a rich heritage that dates back to 1890s.
