Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

As much a fashion accessory as it is a powerfully precise Swiss-made timepiece, this Movado Rava women's timepiece is highlighted by a uniquely artful stainless steel bracelet band that's composed of single, open rings that are connected by a polished, concave dot--Movado's signature motif. This watch features the utterly recognizable, minimalist look of the Museum Watch, made famous by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947, with the deep black dial face offering just a pair of silver dagger-shaped hands and the trademark Movado dot--evocative of a sun dial.

Powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement, it also features a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, jewelry clasp, and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming.

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.
