About Movado Watches
Movado, a company whose name means "always in
motion" in Esperanto, began its life in 1881 in a small
workshop in La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland. Founded by
talented watchmaker Achille Ditisheim and his team of
six employees, all watches were manufactured and
assembled by hand. By 1899, their hard work and
determination had paid off. They were awarded six
first-class Official Rating Certificates in their class,
and in the following year, they were awarded the Silver
Medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris.
By 1905, the company had settled on its now famous name,
Movado, and began in earnest its now famous
pursuit of excellence in design and function. They won
the 1910 Grand Prix Exhibitions in Paris, Rome, Brussels
and Rio de Janeiro for their introduction of 8 ligne
wristwatch movements. The introduction of the Polyplan
watch in 1912 took the watch community by storm, and
these watches are highly sought after at auction today.
In 1947, American designer Nathan George Horwitt created
the first Museum Watch. It featured an uncluttered dial,
with a simple gold dot marker at the 12:00 position. He
likened the design to that of a sun-dial, like
recognizing the sun at its zenith at high noon. Movado
later teamed up with designers and artists such as Andy
Warhol to create one-of-a-kind limited edition watches,
which reside in museums, galleries, and collections
today.
Movado is an incredible company due to the level of
innovation and simplicity that is built into Movado

elegant and are attractive to all watch wearers who like
