Tavannes supplied movements to military forces, railroad companies, and early automotive manufacturers, earning a reputation for rugged accuracy. The concept of a marriage watch originates from the desire to preserve early Swiss pocket watch movements whose cases were damaged, lost, or no longer usable. Rather than allowing these historic mechanisms to disappear, watchmakers “married” them into newly crafted wristwatch cases. Every marriage watch is therefore unique—part restoration, part reinvention. This particular example preserves the charm of the original dial, now aged to a beautiful brown tropical tone with warm patina, while the larger 45 mm steel wrist case gives it modern presence and comfort. The result is a timepiece that carries over 70 years of Swiss history yet wears like a contemporary statement piece. A conversation starter, a piece of horological heritage, and a bridge between eras—ideal for collectors who appreciate character, craftsmanship, and uniqueness.
