Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Movado Unisex Museum Watch is an exquisitely stylish timepiece that features Movado's black museum dial and flat white dot hour marker at the 12 o'clock. The white dial is offset by gold silver tone hands. Featuring Movado's renowned Swiss craftsmanship, this watch has a 38 millimeter diameter stainless steel case and bezel, and an elegant white alligator leather strap with a buckle. The watch is water-resistant to 99 feet and also features self-winding mechanical Swiss movement that is powered off the movements of your wrist.

Movado, which is the Esperanto word for "movement," is renowned for its Swiss craftsmanship and the widely recognizable plain clock face with a single point at 12 o'clock on its museum timepieces. This minimalist design was intended to be evocative of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon.

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.

I got this watch for my girlfriend for a fraction of this price... She loves it, and I think it looks great! It's an automatic watch with a beautiful exhibition case back. The quality is great. I can't really find anything bad to say about it. Even if you bought it for the full price, it's worth it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good looking dress watch, but not that great for the money, March 5, 2009

This review is from: Movado Midsize 605225 Museum Automatic Genuine Alligator Strap Watch (Watch)

This watch is a great looking dress watch, but it is a little over rated compare with Oris and Longines. I had to replace the white leather strap with stainless steel band just making it look more like a man watch. I tried 5 different leather straps, but stainless steel band looks best. The reason I like this watch over the Horwitt is because of the white dial, it is a little bit different for a movado watch.
