Movado Watches was founded in 1881 by 19-year old entrepreneur Achille Ditesheim in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The word Movado, means "always in motion" in the international language of Esperanto.

Since that moment in time when Movado was formed it has achieved a legacy of design innovation, with more 200 international awards for artistry and innovation in watch design and time technology.

Movado is the hallmark of some of the most famous timepieces ever created. Like the Movado 1912 Polyplan, with its revolutionary, patented movement constructed on three planes to fit a case curved to follow the wrist.

The Movado WWI Soldier's Watch with its elegant, protective grill. The Movado 1927 Ermeto, a capsule-shaped pocket watch wound by the sliding motion of its case. Or the innovative Movado 1950's Kingmatic series of rotor-driven automatics.

The Movado Artist's Series by luminaries of 20th Century art. The Movado Museum Watch with its legendary dial is another famous watch series.

Movado watches are 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. The Movado watch extends the Movado brand philosophy of design innovation beyond watches to a range of products for modern living.

Exclusive offerings include the proprietary and patented 114-facet Movado Diamond jewelry collection, Movado's own modern 18K gold, diamond, sterling silver and gemstone jewelry, signature pens, personal accessories, small leather goods and unique gifts for the home, plus Movado clocks and fine Swiss watches.

If you are looking for a beautiful timepiece, with excellence in design and a dedication to Swiss craftsmanship, a Movado watch is the perfect choice.

Movado is the art of time.
