The essence of Movado is captured in each of its creations, where timeless design and innovation converge. In a recent encounter with the brand, we were able to explore key pieces that define its past, present, and future up close. Here are the highlighted models.
The Heritage: Museum Pieces and Collection
The journey begins with watches that are genuine pieces of history:
- The Liz Taylor Watch (1967): A unique piece, created especially for the iconic actress. This watch is a testament to Movado's status as a symbol of elegance and glamour in Hollywood's golden age.
- Ermatic: A fundamental model in the brand's history. Its distinctive design and historical importance were so recognizable that it was chosen for Jon Hamm in the series Mad Men, solidifying its connection with sophisticated, mid-century style.
- Andy Warhol's Times 5: A product of Movado's long tradition of artist collaborations (spanning 40 years), this watch is a bridge between pop art and horology. It demonstrates how time can be a canvas for artistic expression.
- The Museum Dial (1947): The absolute icon. Designed by Nathan George Horwitt, this dial is a study in modern simplicity: just hands and a gold dot at 12, with no numbers. It is not just a design; it is a philosophy that has served as the foundation for countless brand collections.
The Evolution: Contemporary Designs
Looking to the present, Movado reinterprets its legacy with new silhouettes and materials:
For Women: Jewelry on the Wrist
- Museum Bangal: One of the most notable novelties. Available in oval, cushion, and round shapes, it responds to the trend of watches as jewelry pieces. Its smaller cases are ideal for stacking with bracelets, creating a modern and personal look. Its versatility is such that it even taps into the trend of wearing two at once!
- Museum Classic with Lab-Grown Diamonds: Combines the purity of the iconic Museum dial with the contemporary sparkle of lab-grown diamonds. Timeless elegance with a touch of luminosity.
Unisex and Versatile Style
- Heritage Series - 'Electronic Surf': A watch that captures the essence of a vintage model with a modern attitude. Its size is its greatest virtue: not too large and not too small, making it a perfect day-to-night piece and very popular among both men and women alike. It is proof that well-executed design transcends categories.
Beyond Gender
The presentation of these models invites an interesting reflection. In today's world, choosing a watch is a personal style decision. As discussed, more and more specialized platforms are removing "men's/women's" filters to organize watches solely by size, color, and design, allowing each person to choose based on their taste, not a preset norm. Collections like the Heritage Series or the Museum Bangal are perfect examples of this direction.
From the gold dot of the Museum Dial to the contemporary curves of the Bangal, Movado demonstrates a unique ability to honor its DNA while reinventing itself. Its watches don't just tell time; they signify style, attitude, and a vision of design that remains, truly, always in motion.
