The "Movado Museum" featuring a single gold circle on the dial is world-famous. It was designed by Nathan George Horwitt, who was the first artist to look at the concept of time as a concept of design. In 1960 Horwitt‘s original design was the first dial ever to be added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
