Movado was one of the most important and most innovative Swiss watchmaking brands in the so-called golden age of fine Swiss watchmaking lasting from the early 20th century until the late 1960s. Movado models dating from this period are of excellent quality and always make the heart of any collector of superior vintage watches beat faster.
This timepiece has a marvellous, deep red enamel dial with immaculate applied gold indexes and Arabic numerals. The elongated lugs and the stepped bezel suggest that the watch was originally intended for a gentleman’s arm, but nowadays the style would suit a lady’s wrist just as perfectly.
