Product Description

The Movado Story

The art of Movado is the art of design. Since its founding in 1881 by 19-year old entrepreneur Achille Ditesheim in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Movado has achieved a legacy of design innovation, earning more than 100 patents and 200 international awards for artistry and innovation in watch design and time technology.

Movado, meaning "always in motion" in the international language of Esperanto, is the hallmark of some of the most famous timepieces ever created: the 1912 Polyplan, its revolutionary, patented movement constructed on three planes to fit a case curved to follow the wrist…the WWI Soldier’s Watch with its elegant, protective grill…the 1927 Ermeto, a capsule-shaped pocket watch wound by the sliding motion of its case…the innovative 1950’s Kingmatic series of rotor-driven automatics…the Movado Artist’s Series by luminaries of the fine art world…and the Movado Museum® Watch with its legendary dial.

Defined by a single dot at 12 representing the sun at high noon, the Museum Watch dial is regarded as an icon of Modernism. It was designed by Bauhaus-influenced artist Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. When Horwitt’s dial was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1960, it was the first watch dial ever awarded this distinction. The name "Museum Watch" derives from this recognition. Today, Movado watches are in prominent museums worldwide, and this legendary dial distinguishes an entire collection of singular timepieces.

This review is from: Movado Men's 605869 Military Collection Watch (Watch)

I received my Movado today and I'm pleased in many ways. This watch is plain in that it is only a two hand watch with a blank dial. But it is exquisite in that it is one of the most recognized dress watches in the world. The Military model attracted me due to the larger than normal Movado at 39mm instead of the usual 35-37mm which is a little small for me. Another thing that attracted me was the bracelet, it isn't integrated like many Movado's. Instead you get nice solid end links, and you can change to a strap or another bracelet. The watch is thin, with good detailing as well as fit and finish. The combination of brushed and polished accents look very nice, and add to the subtleness vs. an all polished watch. Overall, if you want something a little bigger than the ususal Movado and a watch that is instantly recognizable while understated. This is for you...

This watch is the epitomy of class, it's hard edges and steel give it a ruggedness that can only be outdone by the class of a true Movado. This product is worth every cent!
