·Hi gang, thrilled to have just landed this gorgeous Movado pocket watch with Breguet numerals. I know from the inside of the caseback that it’s 14k gold, and the casemaker (hammer 115) is Favre & Perret SA of Switzerland. I also believe that the reference number (42511) confirms the 14k (“4”) and model (2511) but I’m having a heck of a time finding much out in terms of dating the piece (1930s, I suspect, based on the serial number - but not certain) or finding other examples of the same reference, either in photos or old catalogs/advertisements. Most photos I’ve seen of Movado pocket watches from the era also have “church key” or cathedral style hands, not slim/straight like these. Can anyone shed some additional light on the age/history of this wonderful piece? Or other examples I can compare to? I believe the caliber is 250N. Thanks in advance!
