Movado Watch (3600255)

Everything on this watch is gold except the middle of the dial, which is paved with clear stones. That reversal is the whole idea: the light sits in the centre of the face instead of running around its edge. Case and Wrist Presence A round gold-tone case with a wide flat top ring, thick shoulders at the lug ends and a fluted crown at three. It is polished on nearly every surface. A gold case reflects more of the room than a steel one does, so the watch reads brighter and slightly larger than its measurements would suggest. Dial and Legibility A gold outer field carrying Roman numerals through one half and slim batons through the other, all applied in the same tone. The domed dot at twelve is gold. The centre is a disc of small clear stones, and the hands run over it in gold. Legibility depends on where the light is: with the light behind you the hands stand out cleanly against the pavé, and head-on the stones compete with them. Movement and Functions Quartz, hours and minutes. No date, no running seconds. Bracelet and Fit Wide flat gold-tone links joined by open connectors, on a folding clasp, sized by removing links. Set it snug. A plated bracelet worn loose spends the day rubbing link against link, and that is where the finish goes first. Who This Watch Suits Someone buying an evening watch. All-gold with a stone-set centre is a dress piece rather than a daily one, and it reads that way from across a table. Care and Maintenance Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft dry cloth only. Jewellery dip and polishing cloths will strip plating. Keep perfume and hairspray off the metal and clean around the crystal with a dry brush. Let a watchmaker handle the battery and the gasket. About the Brand Movado has made watches in Switzerland since 1881. The dot at twelve, drawn for the 1947 Museum dial, remains the brand’s signature and appears here in gold at the top of a far busier face.
