Amazon.com Product Description
The Movado Women's Museum Watch sets its own standard for refined elegance and beauty. This exquisite timepiece features Movado's signature museum dial with its signature concave hour marker at the 12 o'clock. The black dial is offset beautifully with silver tone hands and a 29 millimeter diameter stainless steel case and bezel. An elegant weave-like stainless steel bracelet with a hidden double locking clasp rounds out the details of this Movado. The watch runs on automatic self-wind movement, which is powered off the movements of your wrist, has a virtually scratch-proof sapphire crystal, and is water resistant to 99 feet.
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 Soldiers Watch with its elegant, protective grill
the 1927 Ermeto, a capsule-shaped pocket watch wound by the sliding motion of its case
the innovative 1950s Kingmatic series of rotor-driven automatics
the Movado Artists 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 Horwitts 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.
