Why We Love it

One factor that we feel differentiates the Analog:Shift approach to vintage timepiece dealings are that we readily step outside the box to source some incredibly interesting and unusual watches for your consideration.

When it comes to vintage chronographs, we love the heavy hitters just as much as the next guy. The Rolex Daytona, the Heuer Carrera, and the Omega Speedmaster all have special places in our hearts - and collections. But for every well-known name in the vintage watch world, there’s one or two that make us stop and say:

“Now this is why we got into collecting watches in the first place.”

This Mido Centerchrono stands apart from both the sports and classically styled chronographs from the mid 20th century with its unique centrally-configured minute counter hand tucked beneath the seconds counter hand. It also features very cool 'mushroom' pushers, an acrylic crystal, and both telemeter and tachymeter scales on it't, in this case, 'tropicalized' gloss black dial! The hand-cranking Calibre 1300 column wheel movement (based on the Valjoux Cal. 23)  is housed in a very well proportioned 35mm steel case completing this lovely package.

These are wonderful timepieces that represent just about everything that we love about vintage, and there's no telling if and when one of these will surface again, so don't wait!

Brand Story

+
We admit it, we do tend to get carried away pontificating about vintage watches. Whether it is the history of a particular piece or some oft-forgotten sidenote in the development of a particular case design or movement, there are numerous elements to vintage timepieces that make them so desirable. On the other hand, sometimes all it takes to get us excited about a particular timepiece are some killer looks.

With roots stretching back to 1918, the name Mido is a play on the Spanish phrase Yo mido - I measure.

The brand designed a host of interesting designs throughout the mid-20th Century, and even has some pretty impressive innovations in the industry, including anti-magnetic automatic wristwatches (the Mulitfort Collection) and monocoque case construction.

They even used a robot as their mascot... in 1939.

Seriously, pretty cool!
