Movado Bauhaus Calatrava

Forget everything you know about modern Movado. The watchmaker, which today is primarily known for its department store ‘Museum’ watches, once embraced an entirely different ethos. Even before its merger with Zenith in 1969, Movado was a maverick manufacture, renowned for their proprietary movements, distinctive artistic flair, and unusually high-quality cases and components. Andy Warhol famously collected Movados. This Bauhaus ‘Calatrava’-style beauty from the 1940s, with its gorgeously executed numerals, small seconds track, and blued steel hands, is an excellent illustration of what makes vintage Movados so special.
