Tavannes WWII two-register chronograph
A Tavannes two-register chronograph from the circa 1940s embodies practical wartime design: a compact 34 mm steel case, clean original dial and acrylic crystal tailored for legibility and durability. Under the caseback sits the Venus 175 manual chronograph caliber, a robust movement known for dependable timing in mid‑20th century instruments. Recently serviced and supplied with documentation, the watch bridges historical utility and everyday wearability. For the modern collector it offers a direct link to mobilization-era watchmaking and a mechanically straightforward chronograph platform that performs reliably for regular use.
