The Movado watch brand began back in 1881 when 19 year old\u00a0entrepreneur\u00a0Achille Ditesheim founded the company. Since then, Movado watches have made their statement in the watch market by winning multiple awards for their innovative watch design. Their watches have been and still are featured in museums world wide, one of their timepieces even being featured in\u00a0the Museum of Modern Art, New York as part of their permanent collection, which has lead to the production of the Movado Museum Collection.<\/p>\n

The inspiration behind their design is not actually inspired by time itself, it is inspired by the sun. The most iconic feature of Movado watches is the gold dot at the 12 o’clock mark of the dial and it actually represents the sun, the hands being the earth that moves around the sun.<\/p>\n

The classic museum watch is the epiphany of the modern design movement which dates back to 1919. One of its purest designs of course being the black dialled watch with the iconic gold dot. We have acquired some of their newer models from the Movado museum collection and they are bold yet handsome in design. The first watch is\u00a0Movado’s Mens Museum Black Leather Strap Gold Plated Case<\/a>.<\/p>\n
