Movado states that its watchmaking history began in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, when Achilles Ditesheim opened a small workshop with six watchmakers. The site also states that Ditesheim later renamed the company Movado, a word that means "always in motion" in Esperanto.
On its site, Movado says it has been recognized with 100 patents and 200 awards. The site also says the Museum dial is displayed in 20 museums around the world.
Collections documented on the site include Museum Classic, 1881 Automatic, Series 800, and Heritage 1917. The 1881 Automatic collection is described on the site as a reference to the brand's 1881 founding.
Movado presents itself as a Swiss-made watch brand, and its history page places its origins in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. On product and collection pages, the site identifies features such as Swiss automatic movements, sapphire crystals, and water resistance specifications on individual models.
