Movado. Tasteful and Particular, Chronograph Wristwatch in Yellow Gold, Reference 9058, Signed Zenith Model: 95M Reference: 9058 Case Material: Yellow Gold Bracelet Material: Leather Strap Year: 1950s Movement: Manual Caliber: C95M Case N°: 9068 Dimensions: 35 mm Signed: Dial, Case and Movement In 1938, Movado debuted an industry first, two-button modular chronograph. Named the 90M and developed by Frédéric Piguet, this caliber would go on to be a standby in the brand’s line-up for decades. A year later, in 1939, Movado released the 95M, a three-register version with a unique 60-minute counter. The bottom starts and stops the stopwatch feature while the top resets to zero. Movado made most of its 90M watches in the ’40s and ’50s, whereas 95M examples seem to date more to the ’50s and ’60s. The present watch is a wonderful specimen of chronograph which left Movado factories in the 1950s. The yellow case with faceted lugs, domed plastic crystal, round pump-style chronograph pushers, domed crown and massive yellow-gold screw case back is still in amazing conditions. Original untouched silver dial with baton hour markers and three sunken subdials with concentric guilloché pattern. This watch is, moreover, embellished by the signature of the famous maker Zenith, in fact, Movado collaborated a lot with this brand in the production of watches and movement. Since Zenith’s origins, its founder George Favre-Jacot sought to manufacture precision timepieces, realizing that the quality control was best maintained, when production was housed locally.
