Known as the museum watch, Movado has over a century of design innovation in time technology. Some of Movado's designs are art pieces unto themselves and appear in museums all over the world. One collection includes watches by pop artist Andy Warhol.
The Esperanto word "Movado" means "always in motion" and has proven to be a prophetic name for the company. The company was founded in 1881 and adopted the Movado name in 1905.

The case and bracelet on these watches are either stainless steel or gold tone with a plating of 10 microns of 18K gold. All stones used in a Movado watch are diamonds set in 18K gold.
