The innovative and sporty Valeto 0605251 adds a contemporary flair to a classic Movado design. Movado's celebrated bold black Museum dial, with its elegant Dauphine hands and single concave dot, is set off beautifully by a polished steel bezel. This signature dial, famously introduced for Movado by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947, is intended to evoke images of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. The watch is set in a solid steel case and presents on a steel link bracelet with brushed and polished pieces. The concave dot motif is repeated on the bracelet, which joins with a push-button, double-locking clasp for a secure closure and a seamless look. Other notable features of this watch include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, precise Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 30 meters. Movado, one of the most celebrated watch brands in the world, traces its origins to the small village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland where, in 1881, a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim hired six assistants and opened a small workshop. He called his company Movado, a word which means, roughly, "always in motion." The company grew and prospered, evolving from a small pocketwatch manufacturer into a leading innovator and designer of precision wristwatches. Throughout its history, Movado has maintained its place at the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in design, craftsmanship and technology. Movado watches are crafted by highly-skilled watchmakers to meet the exacting standards of Swiss time technology. They are accurate to within seconds a year. All Movado watches are sealed and protected against water, moisture and dust, and individually tested to meet strict international standards of quality. A long-time dedicated supporter of the arts, Movado has, itself, been the recipient of over 200 international awards. Movado watches can now be found in the permanent collections of over 20 museums worldwide.
