Amazon.com Product Description
With its sleek architectural lines and bold black Museum dial, this watch is classic Movado. It features a round black Museum dial with gold tone Dauphine hands and a single concave dot at the twelve o'clock position. This is the minimalist look made famous for Movado by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Horwitt intended his design to be evocative of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. The dial is set in an ultra-thin gold-plated case and framed by a perfectly round gold tone stainless steel bezel with streamlined elongated lugs. It presents on a soft black calf skin strap that fastens with a buckle closure. This watch features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and Swiss quartz movement. Water-resistant to 99 feet, it can be worn while swimming or poolside diving, but it should not be worn while scuba diving.

About Movado
Movado, one of the most celebrated watch brands in the world, traces its origins to the small village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland where, in 1881, a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim hired six assistants and opened a small workshop. He called his company Movado, a word which means, roughly, "always in motion." The company grew and prospered, evolving from a small pocketwatch manufacturer into a leading innovator and designer of precision wristwatches. Throughout its history, Movado has maintained its place at the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in design, craftsmanship and technology. Movado watches are crafted by highly-skilled watchmakers to meet the exacting standards of Swiss time technology. They are accurate to within seconds a year. All Movado watches are sealed and protected against water, moisture and dust, and individually tested to meet strict international standards of quality. A long-time dedicated supporter of the arts, Movado has, itself, been the recipient of over 200 international awards. Movado watches can now be found in the permanent collections of over 20 museums worldwide.

The Movado Story
The art of Movado is the art of design. Since its founding in 1881 by 19-year old entrepreneur Achille Ditesheim 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: the 1912 Polyplan, its revolutionary, patented movement constructed on three planes to fit a case curved to follow the wrist…the WWI Soldier’s Watch with its elegant, protective grill…the 1927 Ermeto, a capsule-shaped pocket watch wound by the sliding motion of its case…the innovative 1950’s Kingmatic series of rotor-driven automatics…the Movado Artist’s Series by luminaries of the fine art world…and 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 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.

Customer Reviews

Movado Museum
Overall I'm very pleased with it. I've banged it a few times against various materials like metal, wood, and glass and have yet to put a single mark on it. One word of warning though, the band is very easy to scratch and will crease permenantly where it's clasped within a few days of wear though it's only visable when the watch is removed.

Movado Men's watch
After "borrowing" my husband's Movado watch whenever visiting, we decided to buy one for our son for his PhD graduation. Even at the busy Christmas season, it arrived ahead of schedule and in excellent shape. Our son was delighted with it. Now, when in town for weddings, dinners, etc when he wants a classic kind of watch, he has his own!

Simple elegance
I've been very pleased with the Movado Museum watch. Its elegant and sophisicated with a face that works well for those with a smaller wrist. At first I thought, no second hand, no notches to indicate minutes, how will I be able to tell time? Surprisingly, it is quite easy to read. Now it won't do for a sailor trying to cross the starting line precisely 10 minutes away but for general telling of time it is quite easy.
