The Montblanc cabochon is missing from the top crown.  The clock has superficial scratches due to normal wear and age.  The overall condition is very good.  Running at the time of inspection, however not checked for accuracy nor water resistance/proofness.  An overhaul is always recommended for used watches.

Movado created the Ermeto “made for travel” timepiece in 1926.  Movado patented the design where the Ermeto was automatically wound by the opening and closing motion of the case in 1927.  The Ermeto became one of the first watches to be used by both men and women due to the various ways it could be carried.
