Movado, founded in 1881 by Achilles Ditesheim, is a Swiss watchmaker known for its innovation and Swiss craftsmanship. The brand has over 100 patents and 200 international awards for watch design and time technology. The Movado Museum Watch, designed by Nathan George Horwitt, is the first watch dial to be accepted by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, into its permanent design collection.
Gedalio Grinberg, the founder of Movado Group, was a visionary entrepreneur who escaped Cuba in the early 1960s and came to the United States with his family. He was instrumental in overcoming the challenging period in the 1970s and establishing luxury watch marketing.
Movado Group acquired several licensed brands, including Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, and Scuderia Ferrari from 1998 to 2012. In 2017, Movado Group acquired Olivia Burton, a London-based fashion watch and jewelry brand, and MVMT, a multi-category millennial brand. Olivia Burton is one of the UK's fastest-growing fashion watch and jewelry brands, founded by Jemma Fennings and Lesa Bennett in 2011.
MVMT, a multi-category millennial brand, focuses on authentic relationships and engaging consumers through best-in-class digital/social content. The brand is now in 20 museums across the globe.
