Havaan Tuvali – Heritage Mark II Mandarin Red&Gold

Havaan Tuvali

Eric Yeh, a watch enthusiast and watchmaker, decided in 2016 to go independent and make watches according to his own vision. This is how the Havvan Tuvali brand was born. Under this brand, Eric has the opportunity to unleash his creativity and find original solutions for his ideas, creating truly unique watches. Havaan Tuvali watches are distinctive, especially for their use of interesting materials and their design. Eric makes most of the parts himself – for example, the dials, hands, and sometimes even the cases. The offer of these limited models is time-limited.

Technical details:

Vintage yet very contemporary

The Heritage line is truly unique. It starts with the watch case itself – which comes from old stock, once ordered by someone from a Taiwanese case manufacturer in the 1970s, but never subsequently collected. Unfortunately, records of who the original client was have not been preserved, but the factory owner remembered that they were probably intended for a customer from France. Regardless of their original purpose, these watch cases remained in the manufacturer's warehouse for many decades until Eric acquired them for these watches. Each case has a polished, signed crown (letter "F") and a plastic crystal. As these pieces are New Old Stock (NOS), they may show minor surface imperfections. Eric carefully selects undamaged pieces and renovates the rest himself. Nevertheless, due to the age of the case and bracelet, over 50 years, the existence of minor, usually imperceptible, surface imperfections cannot be ruled out.

Unique dial

The watch dial is what sets it apart from a mere charming vintage piece. Eric hand-made the dials from brass. The outer hour ring creates depth in the dial, and thanks to the cut-outs with Chinese numerals (at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 positions), the time can be read perfectly. The numerals and indices, as well as the hands, are coated with luminescent paint.

Watch production is limited – partly due to production capacity and partly due to the quantity of cases Eric has available. This is therefore a unique opportunity to acquire a truly original and unique vintage piece with a timeless design.
