Here’s a beautiful Ralco watch from the late 1940’s or early 1950’s. "Ralco" watches were produced by Movado, the name originating from the first letter of the names of three members of the Ditesheim family (owners of Movado), Roger, Armand and Lucien. The watch has a very nice quality Swiss 15-jewel bumper automatic movement which is working perfectly fine. Some additional information I found on the internet: On Saturday, October 11, 1941, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for RALCO by Movado Watch Company. The USPTO has given the RALCO trademark serial number of 71447707. The current federal status of this trademark filing is EXPIRED. The description provided to the USPTO for RALCO is WATCHES. Comments are closed.

Old Time WatchesI enjoy collecting mechanical (manual wind and automatic) and early electric and quartz timepieces. I take great pleasure in researching and writing about the companies and people that created these beautiful watches. PF
