Haas Neveux Founded in 1848 by BENJAMIN HAAS, later becoming known as Haas Neveux & Cie, it is one of the oldest Swiss watch manufacturers. The Haas signature has always been one of the most sought after, thanks to the impeccable standards of the company. Among their most notable creations was the first ultra thin watch, launched at the end of the 19th century. Haas gained a reputation as a manufacturer of fine chronometers, chronographs, and highly complicated watches. This very fine watch has an extremely heavy gauge gold case and naturally of high quality as expected of HAAS NEVEUX. It is in very good crisp condition save for a small hairline just below the moon phase aperture.
