MUSEUM CLASSIC

Nathan George Horwitt
History of Museum Classic

“Without use, there is no beauty-without beauty, what is the use?”
 -Nathan George Horwitt

Our iconic Museum Dial was created by Nathan George
 Horwitt, a noted American modernist designs in 1947.

The clean, elegantly, minimal design of the Museum Dial
served as Horwitt’s exploration of the concept of time—
stripping the dial of any unnecessary complications and taking
 time telling back to where it began, with the sundial—a single,
 signature dot representing the sun at high noon.

The Birth of an Icon

The Museum Classic is an icon of modern design featured in art
institutions around the world. It represents the core of Movado—our
expression of beauty and function.
