Movado Men’s Watch Brown Leather 3600884 05 ATM – Inspiration Movado WatchesIn 1881, at the age of 19, businessman Achilles Ditesheim hired six watchmakers and opened a small workshop in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. In just a few years, watches have already started to make history. In 1905, the year his company was awarded a gold medal at the famous Liege Exhibition, he changed its name to “Movado,” an Esperanto word meaning “always on the move.” Living up to its name, Movado has created many famous watches over the years. The brand is known today for its iconic dial designed by artist Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Its lone dot at 12 o’clock symbolizes the sun at noon and the moving hands symbolize the Earth’s rotation. Acclaimed for unrivaled purity of design, Horwitt’s original design was accepted by the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1960 and regarded as an icon of modernism. Today, with more than 100 patented products, Movado has won more than 200 international awards for art and innovation in watches, both design and technology in a brand extremely associated with culture.
