This vintage 1940s watch represents a rare collaboration between Movado and Cartier, two icons of luxury watchmaking. Movado, founded in 1881, is renowned for its innovative designs and advanced technologies, often collaborating with other prestigious brands to create unique pieces. The Movado made for Cartier, reference 49 020, is a yellow-gold chronograph with a manual movement. The refined cream-colored dial features Breguet numerals that add a touch of classic elegance. It also boasts an internal blue spiral tachymeter scale and an external red tachymeter scale, measured in miles. The complex dial design includes three sub-dials: one for small seconds at 9 o’clock, a chronograph minute counter at 3 o’clock, and a chronograph hour counter at 6 o’clock. The bright blue chronograph hand create an elegant contrast with the gold main hands. The yellow-gold case and slender lugs integrate perfectly with the black leather strap, completing the sophisticated aesthetics of this exceptional timepiece.
