It developed very fast from only six employees to a large company. By 1899, the company has been paid back for their painstaking work and determination. They were awarded six first-class Official Rating Certificates in their class, followed by a Silver Medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris the next year. The company name Movado was not put into use until 1905. Since then, Movado has been devoted in earnest its now well known pursuit of excellence in design and function, which led to the 1910 Grand Prix Exhibitions in Paris, Rome, Brussels and Rio de Janeiro for their introduction of 8 ligne wristwatch movements. In 1912, Movado surprised the watch industry by debuting the Polyplan watches, which are still highly sought after at auction today. In 1947, the first Museum watch was created, which featured an uncluttered dial with a simple gold dot marker at the 12 position. The design is compared to as a sun-dial, like recognizing the sun at its zenith at high noon. Later Movado allied a number of designers and artists to create one of a kind limited edition watches that reside in museums, galleries and collections today. Today Movado is returning to its roots by re-introducing the KingMatic series that were debuted in the 1950s. Compared with the original KingMatic series that featured the first automatic movement and sweeping second hand, the new KingMatic features an all stainless steel case, stainless steel or leather bracelet, sapphire crystal, automatic movement, and it is water resistant to 50 meters.
