Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Every Movado watch is a piece of practical and functional artwork, particularly the company's "Museum" watches. In many ways, these are the "classic" Movado watches, with their distinctive numeral-less round faces and disc in the "12" position.
Unlike Rolexes which, although quality products, suffer from grotesque overexposure on the wrists of Yuppies, Movados are still understated, chic, and reasonably priced. As an attorney, I have had new clients exclaim, "I was afraid you'd be wearing a Rolex!" but nobody has anything but compliments for my Movado, which does not scream "narcissistic overindulgence!" from across a room. Rolexes are great watches too, so it's a shame they've developed a negative image.
Movado backs their product. When I had a little trouble with the wristband clasp on mine and took it to the Movado store, they not only fixed the broken clasp but put the watch through a checklist of standard tests, where it was discovered that the waterproofing gasket had been damaged (probably by a careless flea market jeweler who changed the battery at one point). Off went the watch to the Movado factory. When it was returned ten days later, I got back a watch that was literally as good as new (and yes, it WAS mine, which had been personally engraved), along with a lecture on how I should ALWAYS send my watch to Movado for servicing. For customers who live nowhere near a Movado store, the company maintains a very effective mail-in service.
My watch is this very same "Esperanza" model with the sinature black face, gold hands and gold disc. I find the contrast easier to read than on white-faced models, but whatever you prefer, and whether you are a man or a woman, you will be buying a quality product that your great grandchild might very possibly choose to wear on his or her wedding day.

Product Description:
Featuring the utterly recognizable, minimalist look of the Museum Watch dial, this gold-plated stainless steel men's Movado Esperanza Swiss quartz watch offers a nod to the origin of Movado's name, which is translated as "always in motion" in the international language of Esperanto. The black dial face includes just the signature single dotted marker at 12 o'clock--evocative of a sun dial--and two sword-shaped hands. (Movado's Museum watch is often referred to as the "boss's watch" due to its vague display of time and because the boss doesn't have to be on time.)
Powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement, it also features a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming. It's completed by a handsome, multi-link stainless steel bracelet band with a hidden butterfly deployment clasp.
