Havaan Tuvali – Heritage Sector Salmon

Havaan Tuvali

Eric Yeh, a watchmaking enthusiast and watchmaker, decided in 2016 to become independent and produce watches according to his own vision. This is how the Havaan 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. Watches with the Havaan Tuvali logo are unmistakable, especially due to the use of interesting materials and the design itself. Eric produces most of the parts himself – for example, dials, hands, and sometimes even cases. The offer of these limited models is time-sensitive.

Technical details:

Vintage yet very contemporary

The Heritage series is truly unique. It starts with the watch case – which comes from old stock, ordered by someone from a Taiwanese case manufacturer in the 1970s, but subsequently never collected. Unfortunately, records of who ordered the cases have not survived, but the factory owner remembered that they were likely 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. Given 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 imperceptible, surface imperfections cannot be ruled out.

Unique Dial

The watch dial is what sets it apart from merely a charming vintage piece. Eric handcrafted 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 numbers from below at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions. The hands are coated with luminescent paint.

Watch production is limited – due to production capacity and 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.
