Object description

Case and Exterior Design

The clock is housed in a .925 silver case, paired with a protective cover wrapped in black lizard leather. The case features a decorative winding crown. The overall dimensions are recorded as 49mm in diameter, excluding the winding crown, with a total length of 33mm when including the lugs. The back of the silver case is marked with the specific engraving "1241 – 207 M".

The design follows the Movado Ermeto configuration, which was first introduced in 1926. The exterior condition is reported as good, though no original box or papers are present.

  • “The cover case is in black lizard.”

Dial and Hands

The square dial is finished in black and incorporates Arabic gray numerals for the hour markers. An outer white ring indicates the minute track. The dial bears the Movado name and is marked "Switzerland" at the base, identifying it as a Swiss-market model.

The hands are styled in the Dauphine pattern. A central second hand is present, which is distinguished by an arrow-shaped tip. The aesthetic of the dial is noted for its patina.

  • “The hands have the Dauphine style. The second hand comes with an arrow.”

Movement

The timepiece is powered by a manual winding movement identified as the Movado caliber 150MN.

While specific testing data is not provided, the auction description reports the condition as good, relying on the internal construction and serial number for the approximate period assessment.
