Picked this up recently on eBay, to go along with a couple of recent vintage Movado acquisitions, and thought the pictures might be worth sharing for posterity, for anyone interested in vintage Movado. Quite a few references seem to be covered / pictured - Tempomatic , Calendomatic , Calendograph , Calendoplan , Astrograph , Acvatic , chronograph ( M90 ?), etc. I love these old brochures / catalogs - a snapshot in time, for sure! If anyone else has anything else featuring Movado from the 1940s/1950s, I’d love to see them! Please share!

I know this is an omega-centric forum, but is there a reason we couldn’t create a library of sorts for watch related materials for all brands?
In the hi-fi world we have Vinylenge where catalogs, spec sheets, dealer brochures, service manuals or any materials related to audio gear are shared there regularly and easily searchable (I use it often for rare phono cartridge set-up reference).
I assume there could be issues with rights to intellectual property or copywrite, etc- but is see many other scattered places where this kind of info is out there- would be nice to have one reference library.

All in favor, of course, but that one’s a little beyond my pay grade here on the forums. I’ll defer to the experts/moderators.

Steel cases took second place to gold in this brochure! How many of those lovely Taubert cases got melted down over the years?

Perhaps a site like Chronopedia would be more suited than a forum. https://chronopedia.club/Main_Page


My Bolva has the best catalog and advert repository that I have seen, but it's all Bulova of course.
