Movado Watches for Men and Women

Always On Time…Luxury Watches For All
Occasions

If Lucille Ball's character in the 1940
Rodgers & Hart musical Too Many Girls had been wearing one of today's fine
luxury watches from Movado, Citizen or Cartier TAG
Heuer Watches or fashion brand like Michael
Kors Watches, she might not have wound up singing the plaintive
lyrics "…I – didn't know what time it was…" Those who own such
quality designer watches always know what time it is – and such gifts, whether
to one's self or to another, are always appropriate, always appreciated, and
always useful. Read on and learn more about quality luxury watches.

New…And Yet, Old

Actually, the idea of designer watches is a
fairly new one, going back only about 140 years or so. If that seems
not-so-new, consider that the first men's watches came into being during the
days of King Henry VIII, Martin Luther and Ivan the Terrible – just a little
more than a century after the invention of the first spring-driven mechanical
clocks around 1400!

These early men's watches were relatively
large by modern standards - unwieldy devices that gentlemen wore on a chain
around their necks and were neither particularly durable nor accurate. As
craftsmen learned to miniaturize the components over the course of the
subsequent two centuries however, the pocket watch became a necessary masculine
accoutrement, and with the dawn of the Industrial Age, even a required tool of
many trades.

For The Ladies

There appears to have been custom-made
ladies gold watches as far back as the 1700s, but these were worn by royalty
and aristocracy for the most part. The first ladies watches that were worn
commonly by women of the middle class were actually the first "wrist
watches," known as bracelet watches. These were some of the earliest
designer watches available, first manufactured in the U.S. during the late
1860s. (Mens watches designed to be worn on the wrist didn't come along until
1904 when aviation pioneers realized it was necessary to have a timepiece that
allowed them to keep both hands on the controls.)

Settle For Nothing Less Than The Best

Mens Watches, crafted in Switzerland by a
company whose name literally means "ever in motion," set the standard
for luxury watches. These extra fine timepieces not only use the latest
technology in their construction, but also feature sleek, Art-Deco influenced
minimalist design that is unique and immediately identify the wearers as people
who appreciate only the best life has to offer. Movado diamond watches come in
hundreds of variations and models, making it easy to find a timepiece that is
virtually one-of-a-kind. Once you've experienced one of Movado's fine luxury watches,
you'll fully appreciate the old expression "runs like a Swiss watch."
