Movado meaning "always in motion" in the international language of Esperanto is the hallmark of some of the most famous timepieces ever created: the 1912 Polyplan its revolutionary patented movement constructed on three planes to fit a case curved to follow the wrist…the WWI Soldier’s Watch with its elegant protective grill…the 1927 Ermeto a capsule-shaped pocket watch wound by the sliding motion of its case…the innovative 1950’s Kingmatic series of rotor-driven automatics…the Movado Artist’s Series by luminaries of the fine art world…and the Movado Museum® Watch with its legendary dial. Defined by a single dot at 12 representing the sun at high noon the Museum Watch dial is regarded as an icon of Modernism. It was designed by Bauhaus-influenced artist Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. When Horwitt’s dial was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art New York in 1960 it was the first watch dial ever awarded this distinction. The name "Museum Watch" derives from this recognition. Today Movado watches are in prominent museums worldwide and this legendary dial distinguishes an entire collection of singular timepieces. The Movado Boutiques extend the Movado brand philosophy of design innovation beyond watches to a range of products for modern living. Exclusive offerings include the proprietary and patented 114-facet Movado Diamond™ jewelry collection Movado’s own modern 18K gold diamond sterling silver and gemstone jewelry signature pens and personal accessories Movado clocks and fine Swiss watches. Excellence in design. A dedication to Swiss craftsmanship. The quest for technological innovation. The Movado philosophy remains as valid as it was in 1881. Swiss made and water resistant all Movado watches are distinguished by a legacy of design innovation and dedication to the future of time.

Excellent watch at an unbeatable price from Amazon!
I am so happy I found this watch on Amazon. The same watch was on sale at a national chain jewelry store for $885. They offered me a 2 year extended warranty for another $95. I could buy 2 of these watches from Amazon for that same price. You do not need to take it in to resize the band. A $2 jewelry screwdriver will take out any extra links in a few minutes. This watch is beautiful!!

Beautiful Elegant ModernI've owned my Movado Moderno watch for decades. It is incredibly thin - its a shame that thinness isn't a data point listed in the product description. My watch has stood up to daily wearing and still works great.
Who would want a watch like this? Someone who enjoys wearing crisp elegant and design-savvy clothes. Someone who decorates their home in sleek but beautiful furnishings. Someone who always wears black. Someone who loves great watches.
...or someone who just enjoys a simple and perfect design.
Someone who really needs to see numbers on the face or someone who likes to have highly specific times won't be happy with this watch as there are no numerals and exact timing is impossible.
I love my Movado and you will love yours.

Watch ReviewI first saw this watch in MONTEGO BAY JAMAICA and I fell in love with it. I did not want to spend the $1200.00 they were selling it for. I did purchase two other MOVADO watches for my wife and I.Now I have two and I will cherish them both. You can't go wrong with a MAVADO. THANKS AMAZON.

Not your Daddy's MovadoMetal sections are Tungsten Carbide(scratchless) and Black ones are some sort of metal hybrid. Best part is the black links DO NOT suffer from fingerprinting or the normal "oil" smudging you get with black metals. Understated yet extremely elegant and I now longer feel like my watch is going to catch a thief's eye from across the street like i do with my Valor....
I LOVE THIS THING!!!!!
(Note: Did not purchase it online)

One Damn fine watchI got this watch for myself back in August and haven't looked back. I've gotten a decent number of compliments but not an overwhelming amount which I think is perfect. This watch doesn't scream "Look at Me" but if someone does happen to notice it you know they're thinking it's impressive. You'll become confident of this. It was a stretch for me to afford but I treasure it it is my only watch right now and I plan on keeping it for a very long time.

product description errorthis is a tungsten carbide watch. the watch is heavy but it's contoured shape fits so well to the wrist it feels better than a lightweight titanium watch. while it is nearly impossible to scratch and incredibly dense the texture of the metal feels soft like a malleable 24karat gold. it is quite expensive for a wristwatch but once you try it on you will understand the value.

don't buy anything from amazon! they change their warrenties
I purchased a Movado Men's Juro watch from Amazon. On the description it stated it had a manufacture warranty. Once I received the watch it was a Amazon warranty. I tried contacting Amazon for a month and was reassured the jewelry department would get back to me but they have not. This was an expensive watch and I was very disappointed since it was a special gift for my husband.

This watch is beautiful!!This is one of the best looking most distinctive Movado's I've ever seen. Everyone that sees it complements me on it. It's heavy it's solid steel. Really a cool-looking watch. I love it and would definitely buy it again!

Absolutely gorgeousI am ecstatic about my purchase. This was my first expensive purchase from Amazon and it exceeded my expectations. It looks like it just came out of the store. Be aware that I was charged $20 at the Movado store to have links taken out to fit my wrist.

A work of art!I was able to purchase this watch from JomaShop.com for the 50% discount mentioned in the review above. Since then the Amazon price has increased by about $50 but the watch is still well worth it (considering it retails at almost $800).
The pictures listed here simply do not do it justice - go to a Movado company store or authorized retailer - and try it on. I almost bought mine on the spot at double the price!
This is a very classy dress watch at a very reasonable price. The stainless steel band is accented by semi-circles to complement the distinct Movado motif. The butterfly clasp completely hides the beginning/end of the bracelet. This clean look is finished with a scratchproof sapphire face and rhodium dot to signify the 12-o-clock mark.
I get complimented on this watch all the time and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for one. As with all Movados if you have trouble reading an analog dial much less a numberless face this watch is not for you.

Love this watch - elegant practical and keeps great timeWhat a great watch! I received this as a Christmas gift and have worn it daily since. Movado watches are usually very classy so it is no surprise that the Juro's simplistic design is both elegant fitting in perfectly with a job situation and practical: the watch dresses down easily when you pair it with "dressy" casual wear (think "Banana Republic dress shirt untucked worn over jeans") for going out. It keeps accurate time and is both thin and lightweight (for those of you who don't like watches that weigh 5 lbs). This watch looks far better in person than what the picture shows and looks even better on your wrist!
This is a fantastic price on Amazon - most places sell for almost twice that much and free shipping can't be beat. No sales tax is an added bonus and the additional 5-year warranty is just cream on top. (Note: read updates from June 21 2009 - this is no longer the case)
Update August 23 2008: I still have this watch and I still wear it everywhere. I've moved to Sweden since my review and this watch still gets looks everywhere I go. A lot of men like watches with fancy dials and knobs and don't get me wrong I'd probably pick one up too if I could afford a $3000 Tag Heuer or Omega watch... but then my watch would look like everyone else's. Sometimes simplicity is all you need and in a country known for its clean lines and modernity this watch works perfectly.
Its understated elegance is simply my favorite attribute about this watch.
Regarding the warranty comment from my original review - I guess Amazon is no longer offering a 5-year warranty on this watch. Be sure to contact them about warranty details since this watch is NOT covered by Movado's warranty (as it as not sold directly by an authorized Movado dealer). (Note: read updates from June 21 2009 - this is no longer the case)
Update June 21 2009: This watch is still going strong. I wanted to make a quick update to my original review: looks like Amazon.com is now an authorized Movado dealer! (Hooray!) Rest assured that your purchase will be covered by the official Movado warranty. (However I think that the price has gone up significantly since my original review - I guess that is the price you pay to be an "authorized dealer.")

Elegant dress watch at a good priceI bought this as a present for someone and want one for myself now. The leather band is good quality the face is clean and professional looking but also works as a casual watch as well. Great watch for the price and with the movado name on it it's sure to last.
