Amazon.com Product Description
With its soft, graceful lines and classic Movado styling, the Portico 0604574 is truly an elegant timepiece. Movado's celebrated bold black Museum dial, with its gold-toned Dauphine hands and single concave dot, is set off beautifully by a polished 18-karat-gold-plated bezel. This signature dial, famously introduced for Movado by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947, is intended to evoke images of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. The watch is set in a fully integrated solid steel case and presents on an elegant steel link bracelet with gold-plated accents. The bracelet finishes with a push-button, double-locking clasp for a secure closure and a seamless look. Other notable features of this watch include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, precise Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 30 meters.

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

Classic Movado, very comfortable, great style.
I am very pleased by the style, quality, fit, and comfort of this classic looking Movado watch. I have a size 7.5 wrist and this was a perfect, comfortable fit. The band is very smooth, and the push button closure is very easy to use. The subtle sections of gold makes this watch dressy enough to take out at night.

Movado Woman's Portico Watch
This was a Christmas present; and they were very happy with the Movado watch. Would recommend this item to anyone who wants the quality of a Movado.

I am satified with the purchase of this Movado watch however it is slightly heavier than I imagined. And a bit larger than I had hoped but a link or two removed will fix the problem caused by my small wrist. Overall the watch is classy and goes from dress casual to formal attire nicely. If your interested in a watch that covers both silver and gold jewelry categories this watch will work well for you.
