Sometimes, an item can become so ubiquitous that we fail to question its history. Such is the story of the Movado Museum Watch.

There’s no doubt that vintage Tissot watches represent great value. I liken them to downscale Omega watches in the same way that many VWs are similar to more expensive Audis. This translates to quality movements, cases, and designs at approachable prices.
