Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Bold and modern in silver and black, this elegant timepiece from Movado's Sapphire series represents a futuristic interpretation of the classic Museum dial watch. It has a perfectly round mirror dial with silver-tone hands and a single concave dot at the twelve o'clock position. This is the minimalist look made famous for Movado by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Horwitt intended his design to be evocative of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. The dial is housed in a stainless steel case with extended lugs that angle back to join seamlessly with the matching steel link bracelet. A flat, dark metalized sapphire crystal lies flush to the case edge for a sleek, contemporary look. This watch offers precise Swiss quartz movement. Water-resistant to 30 meters, it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water, but it is not sufficiently resistant for swimming.

About Movado
Movado, one of the most celebrated watch brands in the world, traces its origins to the small village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland where, in 1881, a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim hired six assistants and opened a small workshop. He called his company Movado, a word which means, roughly, "always in motion." The company grew and prospered, evolving from a small pocketwatch manufacturer into a leading innovator and designer of precision wristwatches. Throughout its history, Movado has maintained its place at the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in design, craftsmanship and technology. Movado watches are crafted by highly-skilled watchmakers to meet the exacting standards of Swiss time technology. They are accurate to within seconds a year. All Movado watches are sealed and protected against water, moisture and dust, and individually tested to meet strict international standards of quality. A long-time dedicated supporter of the arts, Movado has, itself, been the recipient of over 200 international awards. Movado watches can now be found in the permanent collections of over 20 museums worldwide.

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 watch is very classy and the mirrored face is really cool. My husband got it for me as a gift and I love it. It's beautiful and dressy so it's a little too much for jeans or sweats. According to my husband (who always does his research), this was the best price on the must trustworthy site.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it but it's big., October 10, 2007

This review is from: Movado Women's 64986 Sapphire Watch (Watch)

I've worn this watch almost every day for 3 years. I get a lot of compliments on it, but I should say it is a larger watch for a woman which may be a turn off to some. Combine that with the shiny face and band and it is noticeable. It is elegant looking but the style is simple enough that it can be worn with casual wear in my view. One thing it does is catch the light like any mirror would so sometimes it is startling (but comes in handy if you need to surreptitiously check your makeup!)
Not for everyone but if you don't mind a big flashy watch, you'll love it.
