This is a "vault find" watch, it has been locked up for nearly 50 years, which means it needs a service. We will give it a factory quality service by our finest watchmaker as part of the purchase price before it is shipped out to you. This will delay shipping for a few days of course.
LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT
This unique watch is entirely hand made sometime in the late 1920's. It still had the original cord band when we first purchased it, nearly 40 years ago. We have replaced it with modern leather otherwise you would not have been able to wear if as the old cord was to dried out. The workmanship on this piece is exceptional and the dial is original as well.
The dial done is Sterling Silver with Kiln Fired Printing was produced by Stern Freres and has Solid Gold Applied Breguet Style Arabic Numerals. The hands are original as well. Stern Freres bought the Patek Philippe Watch Company in the early 1930's when they went into bankruptcy. The Stern Family still own Patek Philippe to this day.
Movado is a Swiss watchmaking company founded in 1881 by Achilles Ditesheim in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The name "Movado" means "always in motion" in Esperanto, and the company has lived up to its name throughout its history with its commitment to innovation and design.
In its early years, Movado produced a wide variety of pocket watches, but it soon began to focus on wristwatches as they became increasingly popular. In 1912, Movado introduced its first wristwatch, the Ermeto, which was marketed as a travel watch with a stylish and protective case. The Ermeto was a huge success, and it helped to establish Movado as a leader in the wristwatch market.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Movado continued to innovate with new designs and technologies. In 1930, the company introduced its iconic Museum Watch, which features a simple, minimalist design with a single dot at 12 o'clock. The Museum Watch was designed by Nathan George Horwitt, a young American designer who was inspired by the Bauhaus movement. The Museum Watch was an immediate success, and it is still one of Movado's most popular watches today.
After World War II, Movado continued to grow and expand its product line. The company introduced new models for men and women, as well as a line of sports watches. Movado also began to partner with artists and designers to create limited-edition watches. In 1986, Movado released the Times 5 watch, which was designed by Andy Warhol. The Times 5 was a limited-edition set of five watches that were linked together by a bracelet. Each watch featured a different black-and-white photograph of New York City.
In 1983, Movado was acquired by the North American Watch Corporation. Under the new ownership, Movado continued to focus on high-quality watches with stylish designs. The company also began to expand its distribution network, and Movado watches are now sold in over 60 countries around the world.
Today, Movado is one of the world's leading watchmakers. The company is known for its innovative designs, Swiss craftsmanship, and high quality. Movado watches are worn by celebrities and fashion icons alike, and they are a symbol of luxury and style.
