Movado Saint Christopher Coin Watch ref.24911 from 1950s
Saint Christopher, patron saint of travelers, is believed to have been a Canaanite from the region now encompassing Israel, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, though some sources cite Marmarica. He’s famously depicted carrying the Christ Child across water, notably in Hieronymus Bosch’s 15th-century painting at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. This sterling-silver Movado watch, reference 24911, features Saint Christopher carrying the Christ Child on the dial. The caseback bears the reference number and “F&P” initials, possibly indicating manufacture by Favre & Perret SA. Powered by the calibre 150MN movement, made by Movado for decades, it includes the MXI import code marking it for the U.S. market. The dial, likely made by Fabrique de Cadran Stern Frères, has drilled minute markers and applied numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12.
