{"product_id":"1940s-movado-vintage-triple-calendar-mens-14k-gold-watch-the-calendograph","title":"1940's Movado Vintage Triple Calendar Mens 14K Gold Watch - The Calendograph","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring Movado's glorious period from 1912 through the 1950's, when such innovations as the polyplan movement, Calendomatic, and exceptional in-house chronographs pushed the envelope of horological technology, and original designs such as the Museum watch took their place in history, their wristwatches enjoyed a level of prestige reserved only for works of very fine watchmakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday's offering showcases this Movado Calendograph watch in pleasing condition. The colors of the two-tone dial, blue date track, and red date hand pointer, and all provide beautiful interest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a very fine example of one of the company's sought after triple date calendar. Powered by a complicated Movado movement, the watch tracks the date, day of the week, and month all through its very fine \"in-house\" Cal. 470 Movado engine made at the company's workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike the more mid-sized version of this watch, this is the full size watch which has fabulous \"turtle\" lugs and ribbed sides which we have always adored.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn especially interesting aspect of this model is that Movado made the exact same watch for Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. We've included a photograph of a Tiffany-signed example that we recently sold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe were fortunate to acquire it in such pleasing condition. It has all of its original parts down to all hands - both the case and dial presents wonderfully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case presents in excellent condition with fairly mild remnants of wear to the back from the buckle contacting it and fairly light signs of previous polishing. On the wrist it presents beautifully. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mark on the underside of one of the lugs is its crisp original hallmark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial, which may be original or may be a very high quality restoration done in early vintage times, has warmed to a sepia tone and faded, giving it a true purist vintage look. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, adjusting and servicing as needed, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $995 value). We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping very accurate time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is running strong and true, keeping very accurate time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new Teju lizard skin strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center. He has also done authorized work for the Cartier Service Center.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMovado:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring Movado's glorious period from 1912 through the 1950's, when such innovations as the polyplan movement, Calendomatic, and exceptional in-house chronographs pushed the envelope of horological technology, and original designs such as the Museum watch took their place in history, their wristwatches enjoyed a level of prestige reserved only for works of very fine watchmakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Movado for Tiffany \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/b\u003e Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Ref. 44820 - the Calendograph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial no.:\u003c\/b\u003e B498,720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear built:\u003c\/b\u003e c. 1940's\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hours, Minutes, Day, Date, Month, Subsidiary Seconds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigned for:\u003c\/b\u003e Men \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase material:\u003c\/b\u003e 14K gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 34mm diameter (excluding crown), 41mm long lug tip-to-tip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Presents in excellent condition with fairly mild remnants of wear to the back from the buckle contacting it and fairly light signs of previous polishing \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDial:\u003c\/b\u003e Two-tone, signed Movado, gold applied Arabic and dot indices, outer graduation for the days of the month in blue, farthest outer gradution for the 1\/5 minutes\/seconds apertures for the days of the week and the months.
