Whois & Analysis for movado.com

Movado is an American watchmaker best known for its Museum Watch.

Designed in 1947 by Bauhaus-influenced artist Nathan George Horwitt, the watch dial has a very simple design dial defined by a solitary dot at 12, symbolizing the sun at high noon.

It was first made by Vacheron & Constantin-Le Coultre Watches, Inc., and later produced by Movado.

Horwitt's dial was selected for the permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1960, the first watch dial awarded this distinction.

The single dot dial now appears in many of Movado's timepieces.

A clock is an instrument to measure, keep, and indicate time.

The word clock is derived (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell".

A silent instrument missing such a striking mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece.

In general usage today a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time.

Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks.

Innovation can be defined simply as a "new idea, device or method".

However, innovation is often also viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs.

This is accomplished through more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, or business models that are readily available to markets, governments and society.

The term "innovation" can be defined as something original and more effective and, as a consequence, new, that "breaks into" the market or society.

It is related to, but not the same as, invention.

Innovation is often manifested via the engineering process.

The opposite of innovation is exnovation.

A watch is a small timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person.

It is designed to keep working despite the motions caused by the person's activities.

A wristwatch is designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet.

A pocket watch is designed for a person to carry in a pocket.

Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or measurable human interaction (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns).

Design has different connotations in different fields (see below).

In some cases, the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, coding, and graphic design) is also considered to use design thinking.
