Movado Sport, Brogel Casing ‘Crab Lugs’

An Art Deco style Movado Sport with extravagant case design from the 1940 by the famous watch case maker Francois Borgel. The company that made this watch case was also known as Taubert & Fils, they made watches cases for high-end watch brands in the 1940s and 50s; Patek Philippe and Mido to name a few. This vintage and collectible Movado Sport shows extraordinary patina on the original and bicoloured radium dial. The slim hands are blue steeled examples, which glitter elegantly in the light of the sun. To make this watch really reunite and stand out, we’ve added an unused vintage strap, complimenting this Movado beautifully. They don’t make them like they used to! These where one of the earliest waterproof watches that saw light in the war time era. Quality, durability and a truly unique experience of beauty and elegance are among others, things this 80 years old vintage Movado watch has to offer.
