Movado: the Swiss watch with the Museum dial

The Movado collection at MTHOR Shop brings together authentic Movado watches, starting with the contemporary Movado Bold line, recognisable by its minimalist dial marked with a single index at 12 o'clock. Movado is a Swiss watchmaker founded in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Achille Ditesheim; its name means "movement" in Esperanto. Buying a men's or women's Movado watch from MTHOR Shop, a French store for authenticated resale, means receiving a piece checked by our experts, with worldwide home delivery in 2 to 8 days with signature on receipt, customs included.

Iconic pieces in the Movado collection

The flagship piece of our Movado collection is the Movado Bold, a quartz watch that takes up the Museum dial designed in 1947 by American artist Nathan George Horwitt: a plain dial with no numerals, adorned with a single dot at 12 o'clock that symbolises the sun at its zenith. This Bauhaus-inspired watch joined the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1960, hence the "Museum" name given to the dial ever since. The Bold line offers a modern take on it, with cases in steel or plated steel (black, gold, rose gold), steel or silicone straps, and three-hand or chronograph versions. Museum Classic or vintage pieces may join the collection as new stock arrives.

FAQ — Movado at MTHOR

How does MTHOR verify the authenticity of a Movado watch?

At MTHOR, every Movado watch is checked by our experts before shipping: caseback engravings and reference number, quality of the dial and hands, finish of the case and bracelet, movement function, and consistency of the presentation box and papers. The finest details are examined under a UV lamp and microscope, then the watch ships with an MTHOR security seal.

Do I have to pay customs fees for a Movado watch?

No, you won't pay any customs fees. MTHOR covers all customs duties and taxes, wherever you are in the world. The price shown on the website is the final price you pay: no unpleasant surprises on delivery.

How do I care for a Movado Bold watch?

A quartz Movado Bold needs little maintenance: wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth, avoid knocks and strong magnetic fields, and have a watchmaker replace the battery every two to three years, asking for the seals to be checked at the same time. Respect the water resistance rating engraved on the caseback: most Bold models are designed to withstand splashes, not swimming. Keep the presentation box and papers, as they count towards resale value.
