Is Movado a Luxury Brand?

Movado is generally considered an accessible luxury or premium Swiss brand. It is a design-led house, founded in 1881, famous for its minimalist Museum dial. It sits above fashion watches and below the high-end Swiss luxury names.

Where Movado Sits

Movado is a Swiss maker positioned between fashion and high luxury. It is valued for design, not for complex mechanical watchmaking. If you want a distinctive, minimal dress watch, it is hard to beat.

The Museum Dial

The Museum watch, designed in 1947, features a plain black dial with a single dot at 12. It is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and is the signature of the brand.
