MOVADO - "Always in Motion"
Tracing its origins to La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland when in 1881, Achilles Ditesheim, a 19-year-old entrepreneur, hired six watchmakers and opened a small workshop in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1905, Ditesheim renamed his young company Movado – a word meaning “always in motion” or “movement” in the artificial, international language of Esperanto.
Movado watches are known for their minimalist style and the iconic signature metallic dot at 12 o'clock. Also, Movado is best known for its Museum Watch. In 1947, the single dot watch dial that will earn world renown as The Movado Museum Watch is created by Nathan George Horwitt, the first artist to explore the concept of time as design. By 1960, Horwitt’s original dial design becomes the first watch dial ever to be accepted by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, into its permanent design collection.
Today, Movado is an American luxury watchmaker with a proud heritage of Swiss craftsmanship, design excellence, and technological innovation. Since 1881, Movado has been a brand in motion – always changing, always innovating, always moving forward. With more than 100 patents and 200 international awards for watch design and time technology have made Movado one of the world’s premier watchmakers.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
