Takano is a brand that has an interesting place in Japanese watchmaking history despite its short life. It has a history that began producing watches and other precision instruments in 1899. In 1957, it began producing watches under its own brand. In 1957, Takano began producing wristwatches under its own brand, initially using third-party mechanisms. Later, they developed their own calibers. Chateau Brand: Takano's watches were generally sold under the "Chateau" brand. There were also different collections such as "Chateau Nouvel", "Chateau Deluxe" and "Chateau Frontier". Unfortunately, the company fell on hard times and things got worse when its main factory was destroyed by a typhoon. In 1962, Takano was incorporated into Ricoh Corporation and became the property of Ricoh. After this merger, Japanese independent watchmaker Precision Watch Tokyo signed a licensing agreement with Ricoh to produce watches under the Takano brand. Thus, the Takano brand was revived. Initially, third-party mechanisms such as Durowe were used. Later, they used their own developed manual winding mechanisms. Takano was known for the thin watches they produced. Especially the watches with their own developed mechanisms had very thin designs for that period. As a result, Takano watches have always been popular with collectors because they are known for their precision and reliability. This product you are looking at was produced in 1960.

PROFESSIONAL FULL SERVICE. Since the mechanism is completely disassembled, each part is cleaned, oiled and its precision is adjusted, your watch will work without any negative surprises. (It does not require maintenance for 3 years unless exposed to adverse conditions.)
