Mathey-Tissot Valjoux 88 – Triple-Date Chronograph Moon Phase

6,150

Mathey-Tissot, founded in Le Locle in 1886, built a quiet but respected reputation through the mid-twentieth century for producing complicated watches of genuine quality — occasionally housing movements that are sought for by collectors. This triple date chronograph with moonphase, dating to around 1950, is powered by the Valjoux 88, a movement celebrated among enthusiasts for its complications. The dial carries that particular warmth that only honest ageing brings — a patina that speaks to decades of existence rather than neglect, and that no reproduction can convincingly replicate.

Description

Visually, the piece is one hopes for in Swiss horology: a considered layout balancing the chronograph registers, calendar apertures, and (tropical) moonphase display with an elegance that feels effortless rather than crowded. A sincere example of mid-century independent Swiss watchmaking, for those who appreciate complication without being too loud about it.

Why it stands out:
– Valjoux 88 movement.
– Honest and attractive condition.

What you should know:
– Aging to dial.
– Case has been polished in the past (to good standards).

General information:
Good and honest condition with a lovely dial lay-out. The dial shows blue month day indication and circular engine turned sub-dials. Gold applied hour markers that work well together with the golden no Lume Dauphine hands. Stunning blued steel central seconds hand. German week-day and month discs.
Movement is running well, keeping good time and all functions working as they should. Quick-set functions operating flawlessly.
Later strap and buckle.
