Looking back, the dial of the Movado Museum came from the hand of industrial designer Nathan George Howett. The simple dial contains his understanding of time, that is, the essence of time is where the earth moves along its orbit around the sun. . Therefore, the common digital scales in the traditional dial design disappear here, replaced by golden dots that symbolize the position of the noon sun and pointers that indicate the movement of the earth. Both of them intersect with the black disk surface that symbolizes the vast universe, which explains the mystery of the universe. Such a special design also gained many fans in the following years. Among them, the New York Museum of Modern Art collected it in 1960, and the reputation of ‘Museum Dial’ was born. Even more surprising is that today Movado watches have been collected by more than twenty well-known museums in the world.

Clear ideas are impressed. ‘
