Movado Swiss Watches

Since its founding in 1881 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, like 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 in 1947 and in 1960 was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 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.
