About the Watch

At some point in 1916, a wealthy Russian collector purchased a gold curved-case, rectangular Tissot, a popular model in Russia at the time. The following year, in August 1917, the collector had the watch shipped back to Tissot’s Le Locle factory for regular maintenance. Two months later, the Russian Revolution began, the Romanovs were killed, and the Soviet Union began to take power. As the Bolsheviks began to build their regime, one of the myriad rules they implemented was a restriction on the importation of gold watches, presumably as tools of the bourgeoisie. By the time the collector’s piece was ready to return, the country it had been shipped from had ceased to exist. The watch in question, nicknamed the “Banana” for its golden curved design, became a legend as the unclaimed piece sat in storage at Le Locle never to be returned.
