About Movado
In 1881 Achilles Ditesheim, a 19-year old entrepreneur, hired six watchmakers and opened a small workshop in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Over 20 years later Ditesheim changed the name of his company to Movado – a word meaning always in motion in the artificial, international language of Esperanto. The 1930s represented a decade of brilliant creativity during which the early Movado Digital Watch, with an innovative display of both hours and minutes was introduced. Discover more.
