Movado - Achille Ditesheim was all of 19 years old when he founded Movado in 1881, in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The young entrepreneur’s dream for Movado watches was to cultivate a brand that was bold, timeless, and inspired. As the years passed, and Movado’s expertise in time technology grew, the company saw the birth of its first big milestone: the 1912 Polyplan Movado watch. One of the most famous of all Movado watches, the 1912 Polyplan featured a revolutionary, patented movement built on three planes in order to fit a curved, ergonomic case. What followed was a series of Movado men’s watches and Movado women’s watches that would make the brand a household name, including the WWI Soldier’s Watch, the 1927 Ermeto, and the 1950’s Kingmatic series of Movado watches. It’s a legacy that lives up to the meaning of the brand’s name: “always in motion.”
