Modern Times

Pace-setting modern wristwatches for both men and women have been at the fashion forefront since Movado introduced the Museum Watch in 1947. With streamlined Bauhaus inspired styling created by artist Nathan George Hewitt, the Movado Museum watch defined modern timepieces for many decades. The original watch featured an ultra-slim and perfectly round case in polished yellow gold presented on a black lizard strap. The iconic dial featured only two slender gold-tone finished sword hands and a single round dot accent at the 12 o’clock hour on a black background. A sweeping second hand and hour marker indicators were absent on…

In The Thick Of Things…

thick-watches

The phrase “Slim Is In” certainly does not hold true in the world of horology these days. As both men’s and women’s wristwatches have grown in diameter and width in the past two decades, they also increased in thickness as well. Influential Swiss watchmakers Raymond Weil and Movado prided themselves in the 1990’s on producing some of the thinnest timepieces available with their ultra-thin Othello and Soleil collections, measuring less than 7mm in thickness, which is little more .27 of an inch in size. The Citizen Stiletto introduced in the early 2000’s probably holds the record for being the thinnest timepiece,…

Flashback 1996: WorldofWatches.com Starts An Online Revolution

Flashback 1996: Americans were tuned into watching ER, Seinfeld and Friends on TV. Independence Day, Twister and Mission Impossible were the popular films in movie theaters and Macarena was the top song on the radio. Online shopping was new and revolutionary at the time and many Americans still did not even have personal computers in their homes and relied on computers at work for online surfing and shopping. 1996 marks the year of the origin of WorldofWatches.com, a revolutionary site in both the worlds of retail and timepieces. Numerous retailers at the time barely had an online presence, not to…

Fashionable Movado Time

Time never stands still is a very popular adage, perhaps referring to the constant motion of the world we live in. In regards to wristwatches one has to wonder if the phrase was designed to represent timepieces with sweeping second hands. Interestingly there are two types of sweeping second hand movements on today’s wristwatches: automatic and quartz. Automatic watches have a smooth second hand operation that runs continuously in a fluid sweeping movement. Quartz timepieces have a second hand operation with a pulsating repeated starting and stopping action. Of course, there are also many timepieces with no second-hand movements at…
