A 1920s Movado Ermeto pocket chronometer, crafted in sterling silver with black and crimson red enamel. This Art Déco piece features a retractable case that expands to reveal the time, complemented by Arabic numerals and a winding crown at the top. The case is adorned with geometric enamel patterns in vibrant hues, contrasted by polished silver borders that emphasize its sleek, modernist form.
Notably, the interior bears the maker’s marks, including "Movado" and "Carlos U. Perret," a prominent Argentine importer, alongside the purity hallmark "0.935" indicating the high-grade silver. In 1926 Movado Ermeto watches achieved acclaim, including the Grand Prix at the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. This example encapsulates the precision, elegance, and innovation characteristic of Movado and the Art Déco period.
