Here's a watch I found on Ebay that says it's a circa 1940 Tavannes and possibly military: I like this particular, minimalist dial design, that is consistent with what has been described as Bauhaus (e.g., Stowa), with a different, flattened typeface for the numerals. I've seen this design on Cymas, which I suppose makes sense, given that Cyma and Tavannes operations were joint, as well as on Zeniths dated in the 40s and 50s.

I don't find much information on Tavannes, specifically one that has the particular font of the 'Tavannes' text and the stylized logo over it. Is this perhaps a more recent iteration?

On the other hand, I understand that Cyma soon took over as the main brand name at some point. This watch doesn't seem to have been produced for the military, and I suspect the description guesses that merely from the assumption that it is from the 40s. Were Zenith movements that much superior to those you would find in a Cyma/Tavannes? My interest lately has been affordable no frills vintage watches that may fall under the radar but otherwise have their merits in one way or the other (e.g., sturdiness, history, style).

Tavannes pocket watch serial numbers

Thanks for any input you may have! Can you give me a sense why? Is Tavannes generally auctioned at a lower tier than, say Cyma, or is the particular model not in demand? Or does it have something to do with the movement?

Isn't it possibly a Landeron? Or was it something less refined or reliable?

Well, you know what I mean. The watch is fine; there's just nothing about it to demand a high price. It's in decent condition, with a solid movement and a stainless case, and it looks fine from a distance. However, Tavannes is not a well-known or particularly valuable brand, the case is over-polished and the hands may be slightly wrong (second hand too short, hour and minute perhaps too long, but they look fine so I wouldn't worry about it). The particular font or dial design has little influence on value.

Most importantly, there is little demand for a 32mm watch (but if you like such small watches, you will be able to assemble an incredible collection for very little investment). Since the watch has a relatively low market price, the cost of servicing is greater than the value, making it a bad financial investment (for people who care about that). Edit: Ok, I looked it up, and the asking price is $139, with a 'Best Offer' option. The bottom line, in my opinion, for a watch like this is not to overthink it.

Tavannes Watch Serial Numbers

If you like it, make an offer (e.g. For $100), buy it, and enjoy. As I mentioned above, a full service will cost more than the watch.

Have you read the article on Cyma/Tavannes by Bruce Shawkey that was in the NAWCC Watch and Clock Bulletin? It was about a year ago. It gives a great overview of the brand. Cyma is Tavannes, and was through their run in the 20th century. Early on it seems that Tavannes was the higher quality movements (think the 19-teens into the 1920's) then Cyma was getting the better jeweling and adjustment so that by the 1940s Tavannes was lower graded movements.

Gold and sterling cases were well made. Cyma/Tavannes also did ebauche movements for brands like Benson out of London. Now they are two different companies.

But those are modern watches. In my opinion (and I'm not alone) the brand as a mid-range quality watch is underrated by collectors. This doesn't mean that they are not good watches. The cal 420 is as good a bumper-wind auto that came out in the 1940s as the other better known. Maybe even comparable to the bumper Omega. They had shock-proofed jewels on the balances with some movements well ahead of their competitors too. They had one of the first commercially successful 72-hour winding watch movement (the cal 335/334) during the 1930s.
