From the manufacturer
There are watch brands and their numerous product offerings, year after year. Few hit the bull’s eye. And only a handful become iconic enough to last for decades and yet retain the aspiration values.
One of the world’s leading watchmakers, Movado Group, Inc. (MGI) designs, manufactures and distributes watches for nine brand names. Movado, the flagship brand within the MGI portfolio, was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds village in Switzerland in 1881 by a 19-year-old Achille Ditesheim, who set himself up in business with six craftsmen to manufacture watches. He gave his company the name Movado in 1905, choosing a word meaning ‘always in motion’ in the then flourishing international language of Esperanto.
Recognized for its iconic Museum dial and modern aesthetic, Movado watches are in the permanent collections of museums worldwide.
Movado Museum Classic design will feature in the top 10 all-time iconic designs by most watch aficionados alongside a Rolex Oyster, Cartier Tank, Hublot Big Bang and TAG Heuer Monaco to name a few.
A wristwatch dial with a plain black face without numerals and a white dot marking the 12 o’clock position, symbolising the sun at high noon, was a design simplicity unrivalled in the history of time-keeping. Influenced by the Bauhaus School, the American designer Nathan George Horwitt conceived the legendary uni-dot watch dial.
Horwitt designed the stark, black, numberless dial watch in 1947 and interestingly had no takers in the beginning. At that time the idea of having a watch dial with almost no markers was rejected by most watch lovers as a frivolous pursuit of form over functionality.
Horwitt’s inspiration for the Bauhaus-style clock dial was to remove as much of the unnecessary elements as possible and focus on the core element of civil time, which is the sun. The following year, his design was produced, without credit or compensation, by Zenith Movado.
