Movado is a Swiss luxury watch company whose name is Esperanto for "movement". Movado was founded in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland by Achilles Ditesheim. The company was purchased by watch baron Gedalio Grinberg of New York in 1983; his son Efraim retired from being the company's current president and chief executive officer at age 50. The current president of Movado is Jeff Cohen.
The company is currently renowned for its range of Museum watches which feature black clock faces and a single gold dot at the twelve o'clock position. The original Museum Watch was the first wrist watch to be displayed at the Museum of Modern Art and was designed by the American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Horwitt intended it to be evocative of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. This most recognizable look of a Movado is a simple hour and minute hand, with a solid background and a single depressed circle on the 12:00 mark. The Museum Dial, Movado's signature design, has no markings on for minutes or hours (although some of Movado's other designs now do).
In addition to its design, Movado watches tend to be regarded for being light weight. Most Movado styles include the use of sapphire crystal, which is highly scratch resistant and thus used by most watchmaking companies.
