Tiffany & Co 'Art Deco' by Movado

Timepieces manufactured for and signed by a luxury retailer are actually somewhat common on the vintage marketplace, but here's one we've yet to see before - and its story doesn't end with the name on the dial! What you're looking at is a Movado gentleman's watch, finished in 14K  Yellow Gold and built in the 1950s. Sharing a number of design cues with well-known design-forward dress watches of the era from brands such as Longines & Omega, this piece has an incredible case with unique fancy lugs, all vaulting up to the bezel and main body of the case. But this isn't just a cool design Movado. This watch was retailed by Tiffany & Co, as evidenced by the logo printing on the upper half of the dial at 12:00.  Tiffany & Co, the well-known luxury jeweler based in New York, has been retailing timepieces for generations, and while Rolexes bearing the name may get all the attention, we can't help but swoon over any interesting vintage piece featuring the iconic script! Around the stamp, a beautiful 'Breguet' dial is complemented by 'dauphine' hands and topped off with subsidiary seconds and a railroad minute track. This watch has everything you want and nothing you don't. Plus, this watch has an incredible caseback inscription testifying to a past history. We know collectors who seek Tiffany dials, and we know those who seek engraved case backs, but seeing them both together (and on such a lovely piece to start with!) is a wonderful treat.  So if you're seeking an absolutely stunning vintage dress watch with an interesting story, look no further, this is about as perfect as they come!
