Emile Marti was head of fabrication at the Tavannes Watch Co./ Cyma Watch Co. in Moutier; he was honoured with this watch for his 30 years of service. This pocket watch shows an extraordinarily high degree of manufacture, which we do not usually know from watches made by the Tavannes company. The movement has a fine Côtes de Genève finish and is gold-chatoned.
