Movado

Movado is a Swiss watch company that makes Movado watches. The name 'Movado' is Esperanto for movement. The Movado Watch Company, founded in 1881 by Achilles Ditesheim, is now famous for its Museum watches, which have a black clock face with a single point at 12 o'clock. The most famous of the Movado watches, ladies or men style, is a simple hour and minute hand with a sold background and a single depressed circle on the 12 o'clock mark. Movado's signature design is the Museum dial, which has no markings for minutes or hours.

There are many places where you can purchase replica Movado watches if you like the style of Movado watches, but don't wish to pay the price or can't afford to. Movado replica watches are so close to the genuine Movado watches that many can't differentiate between the two. Many times, it takes an authorized Movado dealer to tell them apart. For this reason, if you want a genuine Movado and not a Movado replica, be aware of shopping anywhere other than stores that carry Movado watches.

All Movado watches have a unique serial number on them, so it is easier to tell you are looking at fake Movado watches. There are places, however, that sell discount Movado watches for one reason or another. Don't assume because of the cheap price, that they are Movado replicas. The prices of Movado watches may vary depending on the style of watch, its current availability or the dealer that is selling them.

One collection of Movado watches that is very popular is the Movado Sapphire watches, available for either men or women. The Movado Sapphire Black PVD Steel men's watch is made with a black PVD stainless steel case, that is 6mm thick, a black dial with a fixed black bezel, tang clasp on a black leather bracelet. It operates with a quartz movement and is water resistant to 30 meters.

The Movado Gentry series offers a men's quartz movement watch with a blue dial, stainless steel bracelet with a hidden folding clasp, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The Movado Gentry also comes with different color dials and leather watchbands. The price on this watch averages around $500. As part of the Museum series, the Movado Valor for men offers the Movado Valor Tungsten watch with the band, bezel and case all made of stainless steel.

If you have that special woman in your life and don't know what to give her, the Movado 605146 is the perfect ladies watch with a bracelet with diamonds set in the round stainless steel case and a Mother-of-pearl dial. This ultra-slim watch is a very elegant watch.
