Havaan Tuvali

Eric Yeh, a watch enthusiast and watchmaker, decided in 2016 to go independent and produce watches according to his own vision. This is how the Havaan Tuvali brand was created. Under this brand, Eric has the opportunity to unleash his creativity and seek original solutions for his ideas, thus creating truly unique watches. Watches with the Havaan Tuvali logo are unmissable, especially due to the use of interesting materials and their design. Eric produces most of the parts himself – e.g., dials, hands, and sometimes even cases. Given the materials used and their availability, the offer of these limited models is time-sensitive.

Broadway

Following the success of the previously released Duodecima model, Eric, the founder of Havaan Tuvali, hoped to discover more new, as-yet-unused cases of a similar style. During further searching in the case factory's warehouse, he discovered that the German brand which had originally ordered cases for the Duodecima model had actually designed three different variants. Eric didn't hesitate and bought all remaining pieces.

With each new model, Eric strives to introduce and test a new technique. While raw brass rings were used for the Duodecima models, this time the rings on the lacquered dials are filled with a mixture of bronze and gold powder, giving them a unique texture and color reflection.

Vintage yet very contemporary

Despite their age, ranging from 40 to 50 years, Broadway watches remarkably align with current trends. The angular cases and smaller dimensions of these watches have recently regained popularity. The sharp edges of the case and short lugs are very reminiscent of current trends. The stainless steel watch case is largely brushed with a hint of polish along the beveled upper and lower edges of the case, which gives the already slim case an even thinner appearance. Since these pieces are "New Old Stock" (NOS), they may show minor surface imperfections. Eric carefully selects undamaged pieces and renovates the rest himself.

Unique dial

The dial of the new model is entirely handmade. The lacquered surface is carefully applied using traditional techniques, and the metal ring on the dial is filled with a unique mixture of bronze and gold powder. This process gives the dial depth, a subtle sheen, and a unique character.

The production of these watches is limited – partly due to production capacity, and also to the number of cases Eric has available. It is therefore a unique opportunity to acquire a truly original and unique vintage piece with a timeless design.
