About the Art Deco Men's Movado:



The back of this watch has the name A.T. Hill
engraved on it. After doing some investigative work,
I came across a bit of insight to who A.T. Hill was.

A.T. Hill was an American Archaeologist born in
Cisne,Illinois on November 21,1871. He and family
moved to a homestead in Phillips County,Kansas in 1878.

More info. can be obtain through this website:

Those are really nice - just a pity the pics are a bit blurry.  Have you tried a macro setting on your camera?
Nice to see you posting again!hand6.gif

Hi Graham,

Yes, I did try the macro setting on my 8 year old
Olympus C-720. Being a 3 MegaPixel camera with
10x Zoom,it was a challenge due to the fact there
is no stabilization built into the lens.

However, I will try to post some more pics
of my timepieces hopefully those will turn out
better,than what I've posted.

It's good to be back for now and I wish everyone
the very best wishes during these Olympic Games.

Cheers,
Simon

Welcome back, Simon! Great to see your avatar and posts again. I thought you were at the Olympics...toon1.gifracing down the ski slopes.

Of your 2 watches, I'd go for the round one. Very classic. Big Congrats, amigohand6.gif

Thanks Jeff,

But as luck would have it; I am not a skier.
As a matter of fact, I am working 13 hour days
selling watches.

The round Movado was the watch
that I've posted previously.
It still has the Bralux Dark Brown Crocodile Strap.

I've wound up selling it and managed to buy
it back at double what I sold for.

Cheers,
Simon

Thanks Bill,

However,there is still a little bit of work on the Art Deco
such as a replacement glass crystal and the dial
needs to be tighten up.

Which would be in a few months.

Cheers,
Simon
