Movado Museum Dial Watch Original Prototype On eBay
Real quick, here is an interesting piece of history that is being offered up for auction on eBay right now. This is one of 17 original prototype Movado Museum Dial watches from what seems to be from the 1970s. According to the auction, these were artist proof models made in various styles and to be included in the permanent collection at the New York Museum of Modern Art for which designer Nathan George Horwitt designed the museum dial clock in 1947. According to the MOMA website, they have this watch, as well as two original Museum Dial wall clocks in their archives.This watch was never intended for retail sale, but somehow was sold to the public. Apparently these models mostly had Vacheron Constantin movements in them, but Movado may have later included manually wound Movado movements if they were to be sold through a retail store. The piece itself is 33mm wide in 18k white gold with that iconic face – you can see the auction page to read more.
