In 1881, a 23-year-old gentleman named Achille Ditesheim in La Choux-de-Fonds, Switzerland founded a tiny watch-making factory. The trade name Movado was chosen, which means ?always in motion.? The firm was awarded the gold medal for quality, creativity and design at the famed Liege Exposition in 1905. The company initially specialized in the production of pocket watches. The operation later expanded when the wristwatch became popular. The Movado watch would remain ahead of its time for decades. An American artist names Nathan George Horwitt in 1947 combined purity and function with an historical and astronomical sense of time. His simplicity of design has been unrivaled in the history of timekeeping ? the single dot. This evolved, according to Horwitt, through his experiments seeking a pure and economical way to conceptualize time. He likened the dot to time, not as numbers, but as the rising sun and orbiting earth. The gold dot in place of the number ?12? symbolized the sun at high noon, and the moving hands suggested the movement of the earth. Horwitt's dial design was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in 1960. It was the first timepiece design to be awarded this distinction. The Movado philosophy is as valid today as it was in 1881; excellence of design, meticulous craftsmanship and the continual search for technological innovations. Movado has revolutionized time technology, to date earning more than 200 design awards and a reputation for time keeping pieces of unique beauty and remarkable function. Movado clocks, like Movado watches, are some of the most beautiful timepieces on the market today. Whether you are looking for corporate gifts, or a special timepiece, or even a travel clock to put in your luggage, Movado is the brand for uniqueness and elegance.
