The Brand
Achilles Ditesheim, at the age of 19, founded LAI Ditescheim & Freres SA in 1881. With the help of 6 watchmakers, he built a workshop in the small village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. In 1905, Achilles Ditesheim renamed his company Movado, which means “always in motion” in the international language of Esperanto. In 1947, Nathan George Horwitt created the single-dot watch dial. In 1960, Horwitts' original design became the first watch dial ever to be accepted by the Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 2017, Movado Group purchased the OliviaBurton brand, which is based in London. It is one of the fastest-growing fashion watch and jewellery brands in the UK. In October 2018, Movado Group acquired MVMT, which specialises in selling quartz watches, sunglasses and jewellery. The Movado Group also owns Concord, Ebel.
