Description

Antique Havila pocket watch, c1900.
The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely.
The movement is signed Havila and it has the brevet (or patent) number 9293 which relates to an 1895 patent in the name of Paul Mieville.
Havila was founded by Constant Houriet-Gindrat who established his watchmaking factory in Tramelan in 1884 and registered it the following year. The Tramelan-based manufacturer produced movements for pocket watches in the early 20th century but unfortunately disappeared during the crisis of the late 1920s.
The watch measures 58mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and was supplied by the Birmingham case maker Aaron Dennison. It is in good condition with just light surface marks, nothing too serious at all.
The acrylic lens is in lovely condition.
The signed dial is in very nice condition, one very faint short hairline by the sub seconds dial but virtually invisible to the naked eye. Blued steel hands.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us regarding international shipping.
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 up to £300 can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the 'Purchase Antique' button on each listing page. Alternatively, there is a Paypal payment link if you scroll down the page and we also accept bank transfers.
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.
