Movado
1940s Movado Triple Calendar (Ref. 14823)
Movado may just be the perfect example of the joy of vintage watches in relation to their modern counterparts. In the mid-century, Movado competed with the likes of Rolex and Patek Philippe for design accolades and dollars, establishing themselves as a premium manufacturer. One whose influence is still very much felt today.
This deceptively intricate 1940s triple calendar is a prime piece of that history, one that effortlessly combines the aesthetics of a field watch with the functionality of tracking the day, date, and month. It's a conversation piece and a time capsule in one incredibly handsome package.
