A certain suave coolness just oozes out of this incredibly visually arresting extra large oval timepiece from Movado.
Movado, which in the constructed language Esperanto means “always in motion”, was founded by 19 year old Achille Ditisheim, a talented watchmaker who opened his workshops in La Chaux de Fonds in 1881 along with six watchmakers. The philosophy “always in motion” remained within the brand, which was constantly innovating in terms of styles and designs.
The present watch is a perfect example of this ethos, with its large slim case and short shell style lugs its sits perfectly on the wrist. The bold Roman numerals printed on a cream grené dial grow in size towards the lower part of the dial have a natural flow.
It is incredible to think that such a timepiece was made some 90 years ago, its innovative and nomenclature defying design is like no other and a must have for the collector of truly rare and unusual watches.
