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.

Exclusive offerings include the proprietary and patented 114-facet Movado Diamond™ jewelry collection, Movado’s own modern 18K gold, diamond, sterling silver and gemstone jewelry, signature pens and personal accessories, Movado clocks and fine Swiss watches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this watch - elegant, practical, and keeps great time, June 9, 2007

This review is from: Movado Men's 605023 Juro Stainless-Steel Watch (Watch)

What a great watch! I received this as a Christmas gift and have worn it daily since. Movado watches are usually very classy, so it is no surprise that the Juro's simplistic design is both elegant, fitting in perfectly with a job situation, and practical: the watch dresses down easily when you pair it with "dressy" casual wear (think "Banana Republic dress shirt, untucked, worn over jeans") for going out. It keeps accurate time and is both thin and lightweight (for those of you who don't like watches that weigh 5 lbs). This watch looks far better in person than what the picture shows, and looks even better on your wrist!

This is a fantastic price on Amazon - most places sell for almost twice that much, and free shipping can't be beat. No sales tax is an added bonus, and the additional 5-year warranty is just cream on top. (Note: read updates from June 21, 2009 - this is no longer the case)

Update August 23, 2008: I still have this watch, and I still wear it everywhere. I've moved to Sweden since my review and this watch still gets looks everywhere I go. A lot of men like watches with fancy dials and knobs, and don't get me wrong, I'd probably pick one up too if I could afford a $3000 Tag Heuer or Omega watch... but then my watch would look like everyone else's. Sometimes simplicity is all you need, and in a country known for its clean lines and modernity, this watch works perfectly.

Its understated elegance is simply my favorite attribute about this watch.

Regarding the warranty comment from my original review - I guess Amazon is no longer offering a 5-year warranty on this watch. Be sure to contact them about warranty details since this watch is NOT covered by Movado's warranty (as it as not sold directly by an authorized Movado dealer). (Note: read updates from June 21, 2009 - this is no longer the case)

Update June 21, 2009: This watch is still going strong. I wanted to make a quick update to my original review: looks like Amazon.com is now an authorized Movado dealer! (Hooray!) Rest assured that your purchase will be covered by the official Movado warranty. (However, I think that the price has gone up significantly since my original review - I guess that is the price you pay to be an "authorized dealer.")

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal, November 28, 2006

This review is from: Movado Men's 605023 Juro Stainless-Steel Watch (Watch)

This is the second watch that I have bought from Amazon. This watch arrived in 2 days, brand new, in all the original packaging. It definately looks better in person. I comparison shopped and all the major retailers are selling this watch for $695. Only one site is selling it for less than $695, and they want $450. I haven't given it to my boyfriend yet, but I'm sure he'll love it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Pleased at first, April 9, 2007

NLG (South Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Movado Men's 605023 Juro Stainless-Steel Watch (Watch)

I ordered this watch for my boyfriend for Christmas. It came packaged perfectly and he absolutely loved it. However, in March it stopped running true to time. He keeps trying to reset it with the current time, and 12 hours later, for example, only 2 hours on the watch will have passed by! I took it to a local jewelry store which sells Tag, Rolex, etc., and they checked the battery and said it was fine, so there is something wrong with the watch. Even though it was a greatly discounted price, it was still an expensive watch that I expected to last for a long time. Hopefully I can send it in to Movado and get it repaired, but even that costs at least $75.
