Movado

The Movado bracelet has a contemporary style and the strap is made of a pinkish snakeskin. The overlapping circles on the front of the bracelet are made of sterling silver… a surprise because Movado usually uses white gold. However, the most interesting and very un-Movado like attribute of this bracelet is that you can take the strap out and cut it to size and then put it back into the sterling silver pieces???

Movado is a Swiss watch brand which is even referred to as Esperanto that stands for “movement”. Founded way back in 1881 by Achilles Ditesheim, Movado is based in La Chaux-de-Fonds in the country of Switzerland.

Movado Swiss watches are popular globally for its Museum watches which are designed with a black clock face along with a single point at twelve o'clock. The simple yet elegant design concept of Movado was made by the American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. This design concept of Movado Museum watches was quite evocative and represented the sun dial, while the dot denoting the sun at high noon.
