Havaan Tuvali – Heritage Sector Blue

Havaan Tuvali

In 2016, Eric Yeh, a watchmaking enthusiast and watchmaker, decided to strike out on his own and create 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 seek original solutions for his ideas, thus creating truly unique watches. Havaan Tuvali watches are unmistakable, especially due to the use of interesting materials and their design. Eric manufactures most of the parts himself – for example, dials, hands, and sometimes even cases. The availability of these limited models is time-limited.

Technical details:

Vintage yet very contemporary

The Heritage series is truly unique. It starts right with the watch case – 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 ordered the cases have not survived, 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 before Eric acquired them for these watches. Each case has a polished, signed crown (the letter "F") and a plastic crystal. Due to the fact that 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 invisible to the naked eye, surface imperfections cannot be ruled out.

Unique Dial

The watch dial is what sets it apart from a merely charming vintage piece. Eric hand-made the dials from cotton paper used for traditional calligraphy. He then hand-printed and colored the dial himself. Using a new technique, he then embossed the numbers at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions from below. The hands are coated with luminescent paint.

Watch production is limited – both by production capacity and by the number of cases Eric has available. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a truly original and unique vintage piece with a timeless design.
