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.
Renowned for its modern design aesthetic, Movado has earned more than 100 patents and 200 international awards for artistry and innovation. It is the hallmark of some of the most famous timepieces ever created, notably the Movado Museum Watch with its celebrated single dot dial conceived in 1947: An icon of Modernism. Purity of design unrivaled in the history of time-keeping.
