Favico was a label registered in 1953 by the Favorite Importing Company in Toronto owned by Nicholas Righter and Alexander Stern. The first use of the name was January 22, 1953.

I bought this watch to use the movement for a Breitling project which never panned out. Just hoping to get back what I paid.

Asking $325 CAD ($250 USD) shipped

 

I'm going to lower the price on this one. Just looking to break even.

$325 CAD ($250 USD) shipped

I can do a better price for Canadians who can pay by e-transfer

 

The Favico Watch name was an acronym for a Montreal wholesale firm named Favourite Importing Company. They also marketed watch repair material. Not that this bit of trivia is of much use to you. Just thought you might like to know. My late father carried Favico watches in his one man hole-in-the-wall watch and jewellery repair shop, 60 years ago.

 

Thanks for that Cannuck. I actually posted about the Canadian connection in the listing above in Italics.

I knew someone sold them because they exist, it's great to actually know someone that knows someone that sold them

In the past 30 years this is only the fourth Favico I've found. Considering it was a Canadian label I'd expect to see more of them in the wild.

 

I’ll scrounge around in my stash and check to see if I have any more Favicos.

 

Since no one is interested in making any offers, I have these watches listed on ebay. Feel free to bid.

 

Open to offers
