1920s Stayte Pocket Watch by Tavannes

1900 - 1920
Description

1920s Stayte pocket watch by Tavannes.

The watch has a Swiss seven jewel stem-winding movement, identified as a Tavannes, which is working well. The movement is signed Stayte, just one of the brand names registered by Tavannes. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some light surface where it has been opened in the past.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is gold plated and is the Empress model made by the American Watch Case Company. The case has light surface marking but overall it is in good condition.

The glass lens has some light surface scratches although very acceptable.

The signed dial is in super condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this 1920s Gold Pocket Watch to the 1920s.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the 1920s, Swiss pocket watch manufacturing emphasised sleek open-face designs, clear enamel dials, and reliable stem-wind mechanical movements catered to daily dress wear.

Pocket watches from this era commonly featured rolled gold or gold-filled cases, white enamel dials, blued steel hands, and mineral glass crystals over brass mechanical movements.

Authentic examples feature Swiss maker hallmarks inside the case back, distinct dial or movement markings, and clean Roman numeral typography.

A pocket watch can be worn in a waistcoat pocket attached via an Albert chain, tucked into a jacket pocket, or displayed on a specialised stand.

Keep the movement dry, avoid over-winding the mainspring, store in a protective case, and have the internal movement serviced by a horologist every three to five years.
