What started as a completely hands-on operation back in 1881 has developed into one of the most elaborate watch-making companies in the world known as Movado. Launched by a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim and six other employees, Movado quickly became one of the most notable Swiss-based watch companies, receiving hundreds of awards for excellence in artistry and time-keeping technology.
The Turning Point for the Movado Brand
The year of 1947 marked a major turning point for the Movado brand. Nathan George Horwitt, an American watch designer, created a completely new and innovative dial design that took the Movado name to an all new level. The design, now known as the museum watch, featured just one dot positioned at noon, giving a very simplistic and recognizable appeal. It gained its "museum" title after being the first watch to ever be displayed at the Museum of Modern Art. This design quickly made Movado a leader in the world of luxury watches.
Movado - Always Maintaining Modernism and Style
Today, Movado is thriving on its innovative spirit. Movado is always taking new steps to bring out the best in every timepiece they create, for both men and women. With hundreds of designs and styles to choose from, the Movado team consistently delivers the best selection for luxury watch enthusiasts to enjoy.
