Movado Petite seconde from 1950s

What’s older than Rolex? What’s older than Breitling? What has an Esperanto name?

It’s Movado! Movado, although slightly less well-known than the brands listed above, has made some truly magnificent watches over its 140 (!) year old history. We would like to offer you one. 

This 18 carat gold dress watch is as classy as they come. Featuring applied golden indices and gorgeous lance hands, the elegant look of the case and fancy lugs is continued on the slightly patina-ed dial. The finishing touch is the petite seconde complication, where a golden second hand glides over a crosshair motif at the 6-hour position. The driving force behind these hands is a 15 jewel Movado cal. 8612 hand wound time-only movement.

In true dress watch fashion; the petite seconde, or “small seconds” complication, allows you to see the seconds pass while retaining the clean and calm look of the dial – with no large seconds hand demanding any attention away from the subtle details of this stunner of a dresser.
