Movado, Viro, 0605674, Women's, Quartz Movement

 

The art of Movado is the art of time. Since its founding in 1881 by Achille Ditesheim in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Movado has achieved a legacy of design innovation, earning more than one hundred patents and two hundred international awards for artistry and innovation in watch design and time technology. Movado, meaning "always in motion" in the international language of Esperanto, is the hallmark of some of the most famous timepieces ever created, including the Movado Viro.

 

The Movado Viro features either the legendary Movado Museum dial or a traditional Roman dial in solid stainless steel.. This elegant, refined Movado creation is driven by precision Swiss-quartz movement and is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

 

Defined by a single dot at 12 representing the sun at high noon, the museum dial is regarded as an icon of Modernism. It was designed by Bauhaus-influenced artist Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. When Horwitt's dial was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1960, it was the first watch dial ever awarded this distinction. The name "Museum Watch" derives from this recognition.
