good gift
it's a very good idea for a gift. and i also gave it as a gift to my husband.

Simple elegance
I've been very pleased with the Movado Museum watch. Its elegant and sophisicated with a face that works well for those with a smaller wrist. At first I thought, no second hand, no notches to indicate minutes, how will I be able to tell time? Surprisingly, it is quite easy to read. Now it won't do for a sailor trying to cross the starting line precisely 10 minutes away but for general telling of time it is quite easy.

Movado Men's watch
After "borrowing" my husband's Movado watch whenever visiting, we decided to buy one for our son for his PhD graduation. Even at the busy Christmas season, it arrived ahead of schedule and in excellent shape. Our son was delighted with it. Now, when in town for weddings, dinners, etc when he wants a classic kind of watch, he has his own!

Movado Museum
Overall I'm very pleased with it. I've banged it a few times against various materials like metal, wood, and glass and have yet to put a single mark on it. One word of warning though, the band is very easy to scratch and will crease permenantly where it's clasped within a few days of wear though it's only visable when the watch is removed.

A thing of beauty
This is an incredibly beautiful dress watch, and richly deserves its place in the permanent collections of art museums.

On the other hand, this watch supports the theory that the "dressiness" of a watch is in inverse proportion to its functionality. This is the opposite end of the spectrum from the Breitling multi-dial pilots' watches with the slide rule in the bezel and the Suunto X9 GPS watch (extremely functional, but just doesn't go with a tuxedo).

As handsome as this watch is, it doesn't even have hour markings! It tells you roughly what time it is, +/- 5 minutes or so. To be fair, it seems very accurate, but the lack of markings means no precision (if it says noon, it is noon and it doesn't seem to gain or loss time, but you can't distinguish what minute it is).

On the whole, a lovely piece of jewelry, but of only marginal utility as a timepiece.
