Botta Design Watches For Minimalist Perfection
Minimalism to me, means displaying as little as possible to be effective. A watch like the museum face on a Movado is barren.

Also, I'm thoughtful about how much a service would cost for a watch this old. Obviously it depends on a number of factors but an average cost would be helpful. Or should I just stay away...??Thanks in advance.
