Today, collectors would be quicker to write off the link Movado as barely a "Poor Man's 1463" than to call the two watches competitors. That apprehension and guttural reaction to the name Movado has much more to do with what has happened to these two brands since 1968 than before. I'm not saying that this is a Patek 1463 (the Phillips watch is one of my favorite link watches in the link world) but for what we are asking (less than $240k), you really can't go wrong with this Movado. Check it out here.

For link certain, the French brand is known well as the link export name for Yema, but it seems that the link brands were separate and LeJour did their own thing from time to time and often contracted other manufacturers to make their watches.
