Amazon.com Product Description:
Balancing classic hallmarks of timepiece design with dressy diamond accents, this Movado Vizio women's stainless steel watch adds elegance to a wide range of couture--from sporty to professional. The round watch case measures 27mm wide (1.06 inches), and its topped by a polished bezel with 14 tiny white diamonds. The silver dial features Arabic numerals at the half-hour points, bar hour markers, small minute indexes, three-handed movement, and a date window at three o'clock. It's completed by a gently tapered brown leather strap with tonal stitching. Powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement, it also features a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and water resistance to 30 meters (100 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming. About Movado Since its founding in 1881 by 19-year-old entrepreneur Achille Ditisheim in the village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland, Movado has lived up to the meaning of its name--translated as "always in motion" in the international language of Esperanto. It's created some of the world's most famous timepieces, including the 1912 Polyplan (which was constructed on three planes to fit a case curved to follow the wrist), the Kingmatic series of rotor-driven automatic watches, and the Museum Watch--created by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Defined by a single dot at 12 o'clock representing the sun at high noon, The Museum Watch's uncluttered dial is regarded as an icon of Modernism. In 1960, it was the first watch dial ever selected to be part of New York's Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. Movado later teamed up with designers and artists such as Andy Warhol to create one-of-a-kind limited edition watches, which reside in museums, galleries, and collections today. + Read more.... |  |
