Movado watches are historically unique in that the iconic gold dot watch dial design is the first and only timepiece ever to be selected for a permanent place in New Yorks Museum of Modern Art.

The watch hands rotate around the gold dot much as the Earth rotates around the sun and the simple yet elegant design has remained a feature of Movado watches ever since. ...
