Swiss watchmaker Achille Ditesheim established Movado in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds in the Jura mountains. As a maker, he specialised in travel watches and chose the name Movado for its meaning always in motion.
Similarly, when designing the cased Ermeto line, he chose the name for its meaning Ermeto translates from Greek as sealed. This seal or case when opened and closed would at the same time wind the mechanism on all models produced from 1927 on.
The style was later developed, including variations in decoration and purpose. This model is fitted with a stand an ideal travel companion to prop on your nightstand when flying long-distance!
