About Movado
Movado, founded in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, by Achille Ditesheim, is a brand renowned for its dedication to modern design and precision craftsmanship. The name "Movado," meaning "always in motion" in Esperanto, was adopted in 1905, reflecting the brand's forward-thinking approach to watchmaking.
Movado gained international acclaim with the introduction of the iconic Museum Watch in 1947, designed by American artist Nathan George Horwitt. The Museum Watch is celebrated for its minimalist design, featuring a black dial with a single gold dot at 12 o'clock, symbolizing the sun at high noon. This design was revolutionary in its simplicity and was the first watch dial to be recognized as a work of art, earning a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Beyond the Museum Watch, Movado is known for its sleek, elegant timepieces that often emphasize clean lines and minimalist aesthetics. The brand has successfully blended modern design with traditional Swiss watchmaking, creating watches that appeal to both collectors and those who appreciate contemporary style.
Movado's commitment to design excellence has made it a leader in the watch industry, with a legacy that includes numerous design awards and collaborations with prominent artists and designers. The brand continues to innovate, offering a range of watches that combine artistic expression with high-quality craftsmanship, staying true to its name by remaining "always in motion."
