Movado Men’s 0606504 “Museum” Stainless Steel Watch

Movado. Just saying the name transports you to the Swiss Alps where the crisp mountain air refreshes your senses and indulges your sense of adventure. It is here, in the hills of Switzerland where in 1881 Achilles Ditesheim opened his first workshop. The 19-year old entrepreneur engaged 6 laborers to begin what would eventually become the world-renowned watch-making empire. Twenty-four years later, Ditesheim changed the name of his company to Movado, meaning “always in motion”. The motto encompassed the notion of the ever moving watch arms as well as the company’s ever evolving product line. New and innovative designs were constantly produced, pushing the fashion and the sensibilities of watch wearers throughout the world.

In 1947, Movado blessed the world with the first version of the Museum watch. The watch included a single dot on the face and was created by Nathan George Horwitt, the first artist to ever incorporate time as a design element. His dial design was eventually selected for permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and was the first watch dial to ever earn this distinction. The title Museum Watch is derived from this distinction and honours the artist’s accomplishment.

Movado Museum Review

Today, the Museum watch lives on with the Movado Men’s 0606504 “Museum” Stainless Steel Watch. The design includes a lightweight watch face and band made of durable stainless steel. Like its predecessor that began the trend, the modern Movado Museum watch has a rounded face that includes a single dot on the surface, roughly where the 12 would normally appear. This dot is meant to represent the sun at high noon.

In the case of the Movado Museum watch, less is definitely more. The minimalist style of the watch gives it a timeless appeal that men of all ages, social standings and cultures can appreciate. The stainless steel band and case contrast beautifully against the black background of the face which is only disturbed by the silver watch hands and the trademark orb.

The watch also features precision Swiss quartz movement with an analog display. A protective synthetic sapphire crystal dial window provides a perfectly clear window to easily read the time through. The band is made of stainless steel and is designed in a five-link style bracelet with a deployment buckle for fastening. The watch is water resistant to 99 feet, enabling it to withstand rain and occasional splash of water. This design should not be worn in the shower or in situations where it could possibly be submerged.

Movado’s commitment to excellence in design and fine Swiss craftsmanship is ever present in the Movado Men’s “Museum” Stainless Steel Watch. The quest for technological innovation is set aside in deference to the masterful art that gives the Movado Museum watch its trademark look. Movado’s philosophy of creating high-quality, beautiful watches is as valid today as it was in 1881. Enjoy the legacy of the Movado brand and the history of some of the world’s finest watchmakers by discovering the Museum watch today. It really is one spectacular watch!
