• Lot Description
  Post WWII brought a boom to saddle horse ownership, as well as every category of horse related activity. The old joke of giving a child a pony for their birthday became a reality. There was plenty of related costume jewelry items, but some companies geared for more demanding customers. This watch, more jewelry than watch, was not a commercial success for Movado. Most likely only a few hundred examples were made to test the market. A production gold cased watch was used without lugs and the other pieces carefully crafted, assembled from multiple pieces. The cinch strap even has hand line engraving to simulate leather. A crystal reverse intaglio horse head profile, wearing bridle and reins, is bezel set into the french horn. Snaffle bit and horseshoe are combined to create a design element. A stirrup shaped catch, is part of the locking clasp. Radial brushed dial with gold stick type markers for all chapters and gold pencil type minute/hour hands. 17 jewel nickel movement. Case and movement marked Movado. Gross weight 22.7 grams. Presentation on reverse of watch dated 1966.

  Condition

  Good overall. Watch running at inspection but not tested for accuracy.
