The Movado Archives: 145 Extraordinary Years of Watches, Art, and Objects

October 2026 — July 2027

Movado has made watches in Switzerland since 1881. Its record includes more than 100 patents, over 200 international awards for design and technical achievement, and Andy Warhol’s only known watch design. Then there is the Museum Watch: its stark Bauhaus dial marked by a singular dot at high noon, now one of the most recognizable faces in modern watchmaking and the first wristwatch to enter MoMA’s permanent collection, in 1960.

The name Movado comes from the Esperanto movado, meaning “always in motion.” Now in Movado’s 145th year and in the Horological Society of New York’s 160th year, we are proud to present “The Movado Archives,” an exhibit that brings together watches, objects, drawings, correspondence, advertisements, patent filings, and other materials from Movado’s past. It is an archival record of what Movado has made, imagined, and achieved over the last 145 years, carrying the house from 1881 into tomorrow.

“The Movado Archives” is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10AM to 5PM. Admission is free. HSNY is located at 20 West 44th Street, Suite 501, New York, NY 10036.
