Tavannes (Schwob Freres& Co) Silver 0.800 Vintage Pocket Watch Hunter case Works. Diameter with crown: 57.5 mm. Weight: 62.18 gr. Thickness: 10.7 mm. Material of case: Silver 0.800. Service was made 30.01.1953(see marks in back case). Works, tested, it can works 5-10 hours or few minutes and stops, so I can’t talk about accuracy. When I wound the crown don’t hear standard sound of wheels. Hands move by the crown but has defects and seconds hand is not genuine. Glass is good, some small scratches. Dial with crack near 4, some dirt. In case you can see some scratches, microdefects in silver, but looks good, but looks cool, nice work on silver. Movement looks good and clean. Back case closes good and tight. Item needs some repair and maintenance. I think it’s good item for restoration.
