The H.F.S. Skeleton collection is inspired by a patent of 1896 # CH12017. Its movement is based on the original design created by Henri-Frédéric Sandoz, founder of the Tavannes Watch Co, himself. The skeletonized movement is highlighted by the see-through crystal on the front and on the back of the watch. As soon as you wind it up, its heart starts to beat.
