PONCTUA, 21 Rue Bergère a Paris – La Montre
Rare French Illustrated Price List No 1, of Swiss (Tavannes) pocket watches.
£45.00
Printed card covers, 24 pages, illustrated throughout. Société Anonyme ‘La Montre,’ 21 Rue Bergere, Paris. No date, circa 1925.
This rare catalogue provides a good overview of the different movements (seven) sold under the retail name PONCTUA, as well as the range of pocket watches.
Ponctua, along with Cyma, Enigma and many others, was, it seems, one of the names used by the Tavannes Watch Company, but Pritchard lists it as used by Didisheim-Goldschmit. The job of unravelling the very many ‘unknown’ connections within the Swiss watchmaking business would be a long and exhaustive task indeed!
Covers with a few minor creases. Otherwise in good, clean, little used condition.
