What do Derek Jeter, Wynton Marsalis, Kerry Washington, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Tom Brady have in common? They are all famous people in one walk of life or another. And they all enjoy wearing their own personal favorite model of Movado watch.

Movado was started back in 1881 by a nineteen year old in Switzerland and since that time has become an industry leader with over 100 patents and in excess of 200 international awards to it’s credit. Movado, unlike some other watch companies out there, has a name that means something. The name Movado simply means “Always In Motion”.

One of the most striking watches ever made by Movado is as simple as it is elegant. It is called the Movado Museum Watch and is stunning. It is a plain black dial with a single dot at the 12 o’clock position, which is there to signify the sun at high noon. It is so named because it was, in 1960 the first watch to have the honor of being selected to be part of the permanent collection at the New York Museum of Modern Art. Today the Movado line is represented in museums across the globe.

Movado sometimes follows the often forgotten creed that sometimes less is more and that is translated into the wonderfully unique designs of some of the most brilliant timepieces available. While other companies are concerned with seeing who can design the most ornate face or cram the most features on the small dial that is the face of the watch. This company has stood by it’s time honored style tradition of making an elegant watch with smooth uncomplicated lines that looks phenomenal no matter the setting.

Movado has a long list of available styles within its many collections and yet the amazingly clean look remains. The 800 series is the decided break from that tradition with it’s many quartz chronograph models. And yet even with the many functions available on these models, the over all look and feel is surprisingly sleek and subdued with an elegant state of the art flair that is unmatched by chronographs by other manufacturers.

Movado has long set the standard for design that has been envied by the other watchmakers and the design, functionality and reliability remain as much a part of the Movado line today as it has been since its inception over 125 years ago.

If you were to line up a dozen or more watches in a row with the brand names removed and walked up to that row of timepieces, it would be immediately aware which watch is the Movado. Your eyes would be drawn to it not unlike a moth is drawn to a flame. The design is so different from those of the other makers that you cannot help but notice it. The same thing will happen to it while it is on your wrist. The people that you meet and come in contact with will be unable to take their eyes off of it and you will find yourself being complimented on it frequently.
