An Icon Revisited: Movado Museum Classic
Movado, which made headlines last year with its release of a new series of smartwatches, returns to the iconic watch design that put the brand on the map back in the mid-20th century. Here’s what you need to know about the Movado Museum Classic.Aficionados of horological history are aware of how Movado’s now-iconic Museum Watch and its instantly recognizable dial design came to be, but for those who are not, here’s the story in a nutshell. American industrial designer Nathan George Horwitt (1898-1990) came up with the idea of a simple black dial with no numbers or indices, and only a single gold dot at the 12 o’clock position, in 1946. The dot, according to Horwitt, was meant to symbolize the sun at high noon, an essential element in early timekeeping.

While trying to cope with my disappointment, the dealer showed me the Planet Ocean Ceramic* 42mm. It was love at first sight! After negotiating for a whole day, he came acceptably close to the price that I know is usually the lowest I can get, so we sealed the deal over sms last night.This is what I brought home. Enjoy!

This is pretty sweet
