Maybe one day I'll get it.or not! By the way, watch size (diameter) is measured across the dial side of the movements, and is usually expressed in "lignes" for vintage watches. Of course I have only been the watch hobby for about 40+ years. But then, since Swiss watches are just a marginal interest and I only have a few decent references, I'm not trying very hard. My main interest is American watches, and I often have trouble with specific Swiss "calibre" identification. The Swiss often referred to the different movements by Calibre numbers or letters and/or numbers which were based on the size and other features of the movements. I can't tell you about what "model" you have. By the way, TACY is a combination of the first two letters of TAvannes and CYma.
Just click on "Search" near the top/right side of these pages and enter Tavannes pocket watch you can also experiment with other combinations including Cyma and or Tacy and see what comes up. Just do a "Google" search for Tavannes Watch Company and look for a Tavannes site.īefore you do that, a search for Tavannes pocket watch right here on this message board should bring up numerous past threads discussing Tavannes watches. Then, like so many other watch manufacturers, they were done in by the "quartz revolution" and perhaps other factors.įairly recently the Tavannes Watch Company, again like other well-known old watch manufacturers, underwent a "rebirth" and as I discovered a while ago, they have a web site with a history of the company, information on their new line of watches, etc. If memory serves, I think they were founded back around 1891 and were still manufacturing up to the 1980s. They were a large and prolific maker of a wide variety of watches.
Cyma and Tacy are "brands" used on watches made by the Tavannes (pronounced "Ta-VAHN") Watch Company, located in the town of Tavannes (what else!), Switzerland.
