HISTORY: Antoine Tavan was one of the most recognized watchmakers in Switizerland during the 19th century. His lifelong work to conceive and redesign watch escapements and movements would go on to be some of the most distinguished advancements in watch making history. Simply defined, watch escapement is the larger gear in a watch that connects the train wheel with the pendulum or balance to maintain a steady rhythm of seconds.
Tavan astounded the watch making world yet again in 1825 when he introduced a watch with two systems of second hands on the same dial. One hand had standard sweep and the other could start or stop by means of a push button. While the "chronograph" concept had been around since the 1500's, using "running" seconds and "dead" seconds on the same dial was now a reality. Today's Tavan watches are based in tradition and bring to you this stunning classical collection of timepieces that are master crafted with the same precision and dependability in mind.
STATEMENT: Every Tavan watch is covered by a one-year international warranty. The mens "Hercule" and "Xavier" styles of Tavan watches and the "Karla" and "Janelle" styles for women are shown above.
The price range for mens and womens styles of Tavan watches is $900 to $1295. The nine styles available through our catalog are priced 80% to 90% less than the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price and include Free Shipping.
