FS: Movado Rare 1950s Tempomatic | Tuxedo Dial I Borgel Case

A stepped case, crafted by the legendary Borgel, flanked with concentric rings that flirted with the light. Bold horned lugs jutted out dramatically, architecture in miniature. The automatic bumper movement was legendary. But it was the tuxedo dial that truly took my breath away, its contrast timeless, punctuated by applied Breguet numerals that rivalled the finest work from brands like Patek Philippe.

I had heard of this watch before, whispers in collectors groups of a 1950s Movado unlike any other. This was the rarest of them all, the crown jewel of Movado’s mid-century mastery.

The Movado Tempomatic was a nod to the forgotten genius of a brand that had, for too long, lived in the shadow of giants. Presented here in excellent, original condition. You can’t find me another as no other one exists.

Highendtime is an A+

This is the first purchase of a watch outside the UNITED States. There are rare good things I found out there but I didn't dare decide to try because I was afraid that if I had trouble contacting the seller, as well as customs that I didn't know how difficult …

The company markets the Museum Watch, designed by the American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. It was first manufactured by Vacheron & Constantin-Le Coultre Watches, Inc., Switzerland. Movado started producing an unauthorized version starting in 1948, copying Horwitt's design. It was added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in 1960. Movado finally settled with Horwitt in 1975 with a payment of $29,000 ($128,000 in 2015 dollars). Following Horwitt's death, Movado started heavy promotion of Horwitt and the design of the Museum Watch. Photographer Edward Steichen called Horwitt's design "the only truly original and beautiful one for such an object".

Some Movado watch models have Esperanto names such as Bela ("beautiful"), Belamodo ("beautiful fashion"), Fiero ("pride"), Brila ("brilliant"), Linio ("line"), and Verto. The company's name means "movement" in that language.

In November 2015, Movado announced the release of the Movado Motion collection of fine Swiss made watches, powered by the Manufacture Modules Technologies (MMT) MotionX technology platform. The collection includes the women’s Bellina and the men’s Museum Sport models.
