It was all the way back in 1947, when a timekeeping icon was born. American designer Nathan George Horwitt crafted a timepiece that got the horological world talking. This was the Movado Museum watch, an elegant and simple timekeeping tool with a dial from which he’d removed all the clutter—the numerals, the indices, everything. His idea of simple and traditional watchmaking involved the use of a singular design element that, today, has become Movado’s signature—a circle at 12 o’clock that represents the sun at its strongest, at noon. Instantly recognisable, this distinctive watch was influenced by Bauhaus—a German art school that functioned from 1919 to 1933, well-known for its emphasis on creatively unconventional designs, where form followed function. The Museum watch was named after the fact that, in 1959, the watch was selected by New York’s Museum of Modern Art for its permanent collection. So, needless to say, it was, and will always remain, a stunning piece of art.

Movado Bold

Taking this minimalist legacy forward is the Movado Bold collection, a series of watches that adds another page to Movado’s story thus far. The brand believes that you shouldn’t ‘let numbers define you’, and this collection is a perfect nod to this motto. Giving precedence to form, the Movado Bold timepieces have the same uncluttered and restrained aesthetic—a breath of fresh air from the chaos we see on certain dials with their many functions that one seldom uses. Ensuring that timekeeping is as it should be—simple and traditional—the Movado Bold collection is a minimalist’s dream. And the women’s watches in this collection marvellously exemplify sophistication and grace, with a hint of spunk and splendour.

An Audacious Avatar

A reinterpretation of Horwitt’s path-breaking classic, Movado Bold watches boast the distinctive traits that define the brand. They are simple, clean and crisp, and yet, have a truly bold presence on the wrist. The collection’s name really gives it away. Just as sleek and fashionable as Movado’s other iterations, the Bold watches are sized slightly larger for a more gregarious appearance on the wrist. Eschewing their erstwhile practice of creating demure watches, especially for women, with the Bold, Movado goes grand, and walks the fine line between boldness and simplicity with aplomb.

With case sizes between 32 and 36mm, along with unisex variants that are sized at a neat 40mm, these watches are bound to catch eyes wherever you go. However, women with petite wrists needn’t worry—the restrained and classy hues of the watches ensure that their presence on the wrist isn’t too loud and overbearing.

Utterly Spoilt For Choice

Be it the stunning stainless steel or PVD-coated options in glittering gold, or a gorgeous gunmetal grey—the dials of most of the variants have a sunray finish. This ensures that when your Movado Bold catches sunlight, it shimmers and glitters ethereally, and all eyes are drawn to the piece of art strapped to your wrist. One of the variants also has a crystal-paved centre that pairs beautifully with the gold PVD-coated case and bracelet—a luxurious option for a woman who wants to go even bolder. Some variants are entirely monochromatic, making for dressy timepieces that still look extremely simple, clean and elegant. The signature Movado dot at 12 remains in this iteration as well, adding a touch of elegance to the modern aesthetic of the dial.

While some of the watches have been fashioned with a stainless steel link bracelet, others come with a fashion-forward mesh bracelet, which augments the timepieces’ elegant and sophisticated appeal. All watches in this collection are powered by a durable Swiss quartz movement. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects these coveted and gorgeous timepieces.

Dedicated To The Modern Woman

The Movado Bold collection comprises timepieces whose minimalist aesthetic and functional appearance are sure to grab eyeballs with their graceful colours and bold sizes. Epitomising affordable elegance and Movado’s signature ‘less is more’ philosophy, these watches are sure to make a statement with their sleek design and bold dimensions. An appealing homage to the bold and beautiful modern woman, Movado’s Bold watches represent the perfect symbiosis of style, elegance and functionality that looks pretty as a picture on your wrist.
