In 1881, Achilles Ditesheim, a 19-year old entrepreneur, hired six watchmakers and opend a small workshop in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.Over 20 years later Ditesheim changed the name of his company to Movado – a word meaning “always in motion” in the artificial, international language of Esperanto.The 1930s represented a decade of brilliant creativity during which the early Movado Digital Watch, with an innovative display of both hours and minutes was introduced.
For 25 years, International Watch has been the definitive
authority for all watch-related matters, providing

established Swiss watchmaking firms to independent houses
of horology, product reviews, technical stories, wrist
