Interesting little timepiece.

Came across this today. Without knowing what it was I guessed that it might be a ladies purse watch. I was right. I think it's from the 40's and is still working. Interesting little feature is the fact when you close it it winds itself. It's a Movoda.

:eek: NIce. Did you buy it? Movado are a cool maker with some very interesting watches in their history. I've had a couple of their wristwatches go through my hands in my time.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Its actually a friend of mines watch. He was left it in a will and he is not a collector. There was a couple other not so interesting watches but this one caught my eye.
