The mainspring, an eager little strip of metal, is charged by the winding of a crown or by the oscillation of a rotor. But this energy is raw and needs to be controlled, its release regulated. To control its release an escapement is employed – a mechanism that alternately checks and releases this energy while transmitting impulses to a series of gears. As they move they turn hands that, in combination with the dial of the watch, indicate the passage of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe true magic of these tiny mechanisms is that they are like miniature mirrors, reflecting to the wearer nothing more than the passage of the earth around the sun, decoding this celestial information and compiling it in a tangible and readable format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery function that is added to a mechanism requires further math, more gears and greater attention to the precision of the passage of time. These additional functions are aptly referred to as complications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe triple-date moon phase watch has four extra complications, each marking the next higher increment of time. First we have the inclusion of the date, a common enough complication among mechanical pieces. Next is the addition of the day of the week, still a relatively straightforward addition. Beyond this, the addition of the month, a feature that necessitates further calculation, higher orders of the accumulation of time across many days. Finally, and most poetically, is the addition of a complication which indicates the phase of the moon – from the new moon to the full and back again, it marks the position of the moon in relationship to our position on the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\nWhile moon phase clocks have been in existence for centuries \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/watchingwrists.co.uk\/history-moon-phase\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e(and in some cases even longer!)\u003c\/a\u003e, the first known example of a wristwatch with this level of complication was the Breguet Perpetual Calendar, released in 1929. Not surprisingly, these early moon phase watches trade at incredible values (a version of this early Breguet sold at Christies a few years ago for over $475,000), many brands successfully created moon phase watches of their own, allowing for many great options at much more approachable price points.\n\u003cp\u003eMovado, which opened its doors in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, was for decades an esteemed Swiss watch manufacture, producing incredible mechanical timepieces through up through the 1960s. This particular watch dates to the late 1950s and is the embodiment of the style and precision that Movado mastered at its zenith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a lovely rolled-gold 33.5mm case, this piece is a heartwarming vintage moon phase watch that drips with class, perfectly augmented by its uniquely aged dial and hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information on the Moon Phase complication, check out this great article by Jason Heaton for Gear Patrol, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/gearpatrol.com\/2015\/04\/14\/complications-the-moonphase\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product_details\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Movado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3076225665,"sku":null,"price":2400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Movado_Triple_Date_Moonphase_AS00853_Culture2.jpg?v=1432842104"},{"product_id":"movado-el-primero-chronograph-tv-dial-as00517","title":"Movado El Primero Chronograph - TV Dial","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the midst of all the horological icons (Speedmasters, GMTs, Cartier Tanks and the like) that we are fortunate enough to handle every day, one of the most rewarding parts of doing what we do is discovering lesser known vintage timepieces and seeing what makes them tick (pun intended!).  Most of the time the pieces we come across are less than desirable for one reason or another, but every so often one comes along that simply blows us away, and we can't wait to share it with our colleagues, friends and fellow enthusiasts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComing from the private collection of a good friend on the Left Coast, this awesome 1970s Movado chronograph has totally slipped under the radar of most enthusiasts, and while we knew of their existence, we admit we had never seen one in the metal until he showed up with it at analog\/shift HQ a few weeks ago.  Needless to say, he didn't leave with it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt least three distinct elements go into making this unusual chronograph an awesome piece worthy of your attention:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirstly, the design is evocative of the integrated bracelet sports watches common of the era.  You have probably heard of some of them (Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Patek Philippe Nautilus, IWC Ingenieur SL).  The design is incredibly comfortable to wear and \u003cem\u003etotally\u003c\/em\u003e 70s, meaning it is very much wearable today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the detailing on the watch is impressive.  Comparable to the Heuer Monaco of the era, the 40mm case is substantial and makes for a sizable statement on the wrist.  With a gorgeous two-tone blue dial with triple subsidiary registers, angled internal tachymetre scale, diagonally-oriented date window, and \"rocker-style\" chrono pushers, this is one of those timepieces that is virtually impossible to stop looking at and playing with on your wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the movement inside this piece is none other than the legendary \u003cem\u003eEl Primero\u003c\/em\u003e by Zenith.  One of the world's first automatic chronograph units, the \u003cem\u003eEl Primero\u003c\/em\u003e is a high-beat mechanical movement that is still in use today.  Launched in 1969, Zenith made their movements available to a few other manufactures.  Unfortunately, Movado isn't much more than a fashion brand today, but back in the day they clearly didn't fuck around, and selected some impressive movements for their line.  \"Off-Brand\" timepieces are often a great value for collectors, and this is no exception.  Early \u003cem\u003eEl Primero\u003c\/em\u003e powered chronographs are incredibly hot on the market, yet this one slips under the radar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Movado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3114231681,"sku":null,"price":3200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Movado_El_Primero_Chronograph_TV_Dial_Culture1.jpg?v=1433261643"},{"product_id":"tiffany-and-co-kingmatic-by-movado-as00555","title":"Tiffany \u0026 Co Kingmatic by Movado","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimepieces manufactured for and signed by a luxury retailer are actually somewhat common on the vintage marketplace, but here's one we've yet to see before - and its story doesn't end with the name on the dial!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you're looking at is a Movado Kingmatic gentleman's watch, finished in 14kt Yellow Gold and built around 1960.  Sharing a number of design cues with well-known automatic dress watches of the era from brands such as Longines \u0026amp;

That's because, in most automatic chronos, the automatic module is sandwiched on top of the chronograph. But in the El Primero, the chronograph complication and the automatic module are fully integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this means is that the cases for El Primeros can be substantially thinner, allowing for proportions that are downright elegant. Take this Movado Datron. While this particular reference was offered in a sportier steel variant, it was also offered in a gold-capped or solid gold cushion case. It's rare to find a gold or gold-capped version in as solid condition as this, due to the precious metal's tendency to get scratched and scarred. But this one is in excellent condition, having just returned from an extensive spa treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is also unique.

Movado is one of the most dramatic examples. Because once upon a time, this was a manufacture making some of the finest time-only and complicated watches of the 20th century, founded all the way back in 1881. Their triple-calendar pieces of the 1940s and ‘50s and Super Sub Sea chronographs from the 1960s are legitimately collectible today, and for good reason.

The movement dates back to the early days of automatic watchmaking, meaning the rotor doesn’t spin freely like a modern automatic. Instead, it “bumps” back and forth as it winds. You can actually feel it on the wrist, which gives the watch a mechanical charm that modern automatics simply don’t have.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut the real reason you buy this watch is the dial.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe original striated finish has aged into a gorgeous tropical patina that reads like a sunset trapped under crystal. The tone shifts from salmon to peach to golden-orange depending on the light, with a soft, cloudy warmth across the surface that looks honest, natural, and completely unrepeatable. The striated texture only amplifies the effect, catching highlights and shadows in a way a flat dial never could. Gilt numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 anchor the design, while applied arrowhead markers and crisp dauphine hands bring the whole thing into classic mid-century focus. It’s signed Movado Automatic, and it wears its age like a perfectly broken-in leather jacket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe case is equally compelling. Measuring 33mm (excluding the crown) with a 40.5mm lug-to-lug length and a 16mm lug width, it wears super comfortably and feels perfectly in the mold of other classic dress watches of the era. Even better, it’s housed in a stainless steel case made by François Borgel, one of the most respected Swiss case makers of the period, known for producing cases not just for Movado but also for Patek Philippe and Mido.
