Founded in 1881 in Switzerland, Movado has established itself as a classic luxury brand.  They are well known for their signature Museum watches, which make wonderful gifts for coworkers, employees, loved ones and of course, ones self.  If you have always wanted to own a masterpiece, here is your chance.

The Museum watches feature black clock faces and a single gold dot at the twelve o’clock position. The original was designed by the American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947 and became the first wrist watch to be displayed at the Museum of Modern Art. How’s that for classy?

The entire look has a minimalistic charm.  There is a simple hour and minute hand and the single dot at twelve o’clock is inspired by the sundial.

Aside from just the design being minimal, so is the weight.  Movado watches are known for being lighter than most other brands.  The face is made of sapphire crystal making the watch highly scratch resistant.

There are several styles of Movado Museum watches.  Above is the Museum Classic, which is simply gorgeous and finely crafted.  The case is gold-plated giving it a look of rich sophistication.

The Movado Juro watch seen above, also has gold plating and looks fantastic.  It can be worn for both formal and informal occasions, making this style a good investment.  The two-tone look is always an eye-catcher.
