MOVADO
Excellence of design...meticulous Swiss
craftsmanship...the continual search for
technological innovation: the Movado
philosophy is as valid today as it was in1881.
Since its beginning, Movado has earned
more than 200 awards for watch design
and time technology.
Symbolic of the legacy of Movado is the
Movado Museum®Watch. It is a classic in
modern design, and the purest expression
of time as art. In 1960, its dial design was
selected by the Museum of Modern Art for
its permanent collection.
Each Movado watch is distinguished by a
legacy of innovation and dedication to the
future of time.
