Restoring a Gem from the Past: Movado Watch Triple Date

I love to restore Movado watches because they are great vintage watches and a piece of history. Movado was one of the biggest producers of Swiss watches at one point producing very beautiful watches. I really like their movements, which are so robust and nicely designed. They made many watches with interesting complications like this triple date watch with the caliber 475. Hope I can restore this watch properly for somebody that can enjoy it for many years.

The beauty of vintage watches is not comparable to what we see today, especially with the Movado.

[endy_fx]

I love that it's a mechanical device measuring a dimension we can't see, feel or touch, and as a technology its existed for hundreds of years, powered by a spring!

Watches shows us the time, but they don't tell us what time is. They are reminding us of a mystery, we have yet to solve.
And they do it in beautiful ways of precision and design.

I love how mechanical watches are an amazing example of what design and engineering can achieve. And that I can wear this marvel of invention all day every day

[scottcanfield]

I love how so many parts can come together in a small place and work together.

[martinmchugh]

I like the beautiful craft of watchmakers from the past and that these watches show that beauty for us to enjoy now.

[peterobrien]

I love and appreciate the skill and care used in creating and maintaining these watches. To have the opportunity to wear one would be to honor your craft.

I repair watches as a hobby. Love this Movado.

I love the micro machine aspect of a mechanical watch, the ingenuity that went in to create such an essential tool for the evolution of human kind. Today we take watches for granted and even discard them as obsolete and anachronistic, but the world as we know it wouldn’t function or even exist without watches. I appreciate there are people trying to keep watchmaking and mechanical watches alive and I am too trying to learn watchmaking as a hobby.

I enjoy the variety you have in watches and the many ways you can make them your own style.

[robertjordan]

What I love about watches is all the different styles available. They are like artwork on your wrist. Each is an expression of the Owner.

i love vintage watch to restore back to life again

[richardarseneault]

A wristwatch is a perfect combination of something pleasing to look at when worn with fascinating mechanics inside the case.

[mattspierce]

I love their complex simplicity. The technology I work with is complex on an order I will never understand. Watches are human relatable with effort.

[kylesmith]

I enjoy seeing all the micro parts taken apart and put back together. Very pleasing to watch.

[joserodriguez]

I appreciate your passion for this "hobby" that gives me a great appreciation for an old art of telling time with some beautiful timepieces. Thank you.

[richardchabot]

i love old watches since i was young. Seeing you disasemble and reassemble them is very relaxing and interresting . Thank you.

[mariomartin]

I love that every watch has it’s own unique persnality

[moboei]

The way watches are assembled is just mind blowing. Beautiful to look at and a very handy precision tool. That’s what I love about watches
