The caliber of this timepiece by Tavannes Watch is capable of tachometric and telemetric measurements, as indicated on its dial. As <strong>the drawing<\/strong> accompanying the patent also reveals. The biological father of the famous Chronomat is therefore to be found in a small village in the Jura region, which gives its name to a brand that was one of the largest watch manufacturers in the world: up to 4,000 movements per day (!), sometimes also sold to other legends, such as Jaeger LeCoultre, Herm\u00e8s or Cartier. Overall, in the heyday of this industrial flagship, about 2,000 employees were perpetuating the foundation work of Henri-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Sandoz, a master watchmaker and micromechanical genius who founded Tavannes Watch in 1891 (he was 40). He came from Le Locle, benefiting from an advantage offered by what must have been at the time the equivalent of the &#8220;economical promotion&#8221; of the region: to establish in a village, to stimulate employment and the surrounding development, a company guaranteeing jobs.\u00a0Other watchmaking names seem to bear witness to this practice, such as Cort\u00e9bert, Le Landeron, Fontainemelon, etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Tavannes factory &#8211; today we would say the Manufacture &#8211; was one of the first to join the craze for the wristwatch and therefore to manufacture movements specifically reduced in size while the others were using pocket watch calibers to install them on the wrist.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this Chronomat, two other pieces have marked the history of this watchmaking legend, now acquired by <strong>Florin Niculescu<\/strong>, a former employee of Cyma and Vaucher Manufacture in Fleurier: the very first piece signed by Tavannes, for the US Signal Corps, as well as an emblematic piece personalized for the King of England.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/tavannes-watch.swiss\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">TWC Official<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-image style_shadow-1 align_none meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1316\" height=\"1810\" src=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CH_217012_A-copie.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CH_217012_A-copie.png 1316w, https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CH_217012_A-copie-218x300.png 218w, https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CH_217012_A-copie-436x600.png 436w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1316px) 100vw, 1316px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">Le dessin sign\u00e9 Adrien Schweizer accompagnant le d\u00e9p\u00f4t du brevet CH217012A est explicite<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small with_line width_default thick_1 style_solid color_border align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image style_shadow-1 align_none meta_simple\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/JSH-Swiss-Watch-Passport-Tavannes-2021-0729_Florin-N-TWC.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/JSH-Swiss-Watch-Passport-Tavannes-2021-0729_Florin-N-TWC.jpg 768w, https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/JSH-Swiss-Watch-Passport-Tavannes-2021-0729_Florin-N-TWC-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/JSH-Swiss-Watch-Passport-Tavannes-2021-0729_Florin-N-TWC-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">Patron horloger form\u00e9 chez Cyma et Parmiginani Fleurier, Florin Niculescu est l'actuel propri\u00e9taire de la marque TWC, Tavannes Watch Company<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazing, this Chronomat model of Tavannes Watch from 1946 is very similar to the Breitling&#8217;s Chronomat reference 769.

Member of Impressum, PressTourim and Club Suisse de la Presse, this Ivory Coast-born Swiss, descendant of a family of watchmakers, co-founded the magazines Montres Passion &amp; Uhren Welt at Ringier in 1993 with Kenan Tegin, as well as the Prix Montre de l'Ann\u00e9e. Founded in 2005, his press agency 1876 News (formerly T\u00e0G Press +41T) contributes to some twenty media through a network of around ten journalists or experts. These include Journal Suisse d'Horlogerie (2008-2014), Heure Suisse\\\/Schweiz and Ann\u00e9e Horlog\u00e8re, F\\\/D\\\/E (2011-2014), Watchonista.com (2013-2019). In 2019, he founded and chaired \\\"JSH Archives &amp; Patrimoine\\\" to relaunch the Swiss watchmaking journal JSH. Then in 2021, he built on his very first editorial venture, the \\\"bloghorloger.ch\\\" established on the web in 2003, to come back online with the Swiss Watch Passport\u00ae (by JSH\u00ae).

Member of Impressum, PressTourim and Club Suisse de la Presse, this Ivory Coast-born Swiss, descendant of a family of watchmakers, co-founded the magazines Montres Passion &amp; Uhren Welt at Ringier in 1993 with Kenan Tegin, as well as the Prix Montre de l'Ann\u00e9e. Founded in 2005, his press agency 1876 News (formerly T\u00e0G Press +41T) contributes to some twenty media through a network of around ten journalists or experts. These include Journal Suisse d'Horlogerie (2008-2014), Heure Suisse\/Schweiz and Ann\u00e9e Horlog\u00e8re, F\/D\/E (2011-2014), Watchonista.com (2013-2019). In 2019, he founded and chaired \"JSH Archives &amp; Patrimoine\" to relaunch the Swiss watchmaking journal JSH. Then in 2021, he built on his very first editorial venture, the \"bloghorloger.ch\" established on the web in 2003, to come back online with the Swiss Watch Passport\u00ae (by JSH\u00ae). Jo\u00ebl A. Grandjean is a member of the SSC, the Swiss Society of Chronometry, and of the jury of the Prix Ga\u00efa, aka the \"Nobel of watchmaking\" awarded since 1992 by the MIH, Le Mus\u00e9e International de l'Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds","sameAs":["https:\/\/grandjean.watch","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joel.grandjean","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/grandjean.grammson\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/joel-a-grandjean-\u270d-5524357\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/x.com\/tagpress","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@joela.grandjeanprowatchpre906"],"url":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/author\/joel\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
