Movado Museum Tourbillon

Thursday, December 3, 2009

Movado in Esperanto means ‘constantly in motion’. But all the movement is reliably hidden under a black empty watch face with a white dot at the figure 12 – from this, the watch brand can be instantly and unmistakeably recognized from among dozens of others. The shape and form of this model is almost indistinguishable from the Museum Automatic and even the quartz Capello, but its contents… A transparent cover on the reverse side makes it possible to view the unique mechanism in detail. Only one model was made for the Baselworld 2004 Exhibition. Bearing in mind that no one – even the most fanatic watch anorak could ever guess that there was a tourbillon inside the ascetic platinum casing, the Museum Tourbillon can be considered an unsurpassed masterpiece of the designer’s art.
