The here offered remarkable Movado Dual Time wristwatch, crafted in collaboration with the esteemed Geneva-based retailer R. Chabloz (founder of the “Montres SA” company in 1950), is a true rarity that speaks to the golden era of mid-century horology. Designed to cater to international travelers, this timepiece seamlessly integrates dual-time functionality with an elegant, architecturally inspired platinum case and bracelet. The striking octagonal case, with its hand-engraved bezel, frames an equally compelling brushed silver dial, distinguished by its twin sub-dials. Each is independently powered by a manual movement; one dial bears the “Movado” signature, while the other is signed “R. Chabloz Genève.” This rare dual-time mechanism allows for the simultaneous tracking of two different time zones, offering unparalleled practicality with a distinctly modernist aesthetic. At the center of the dial, a built-in compass adds an element of adventure, its cardinal points (N, E, S, W) engraved around a rotating indicator—an exquisite nod to the spirit of exploration. The platinum bracelet, featuring an intricate woven pattern, complements the watch’s striking geometry, exuding both luxury and craftsmanship. A testament to Movado’s pioneering watchmaking and the exclusivity of R. Chabloz’s commissions, this Dual Time wristwatch is an extraordinary collector’s piece, blending technical mastery with a bold, avant-garde presence.
