References using a single dot at 12 o'clock, or dot-only markers throughout the dial, the defining signature of the Movado Museum Watch.
Dot-marker dials use a single applied or printed dot at 12 o'clock in lieu of any numeral or index, the marker category most associated with the Movado Museum Watch. Artist Nathan George Horwitt conceived the Museum dial in 1947 as a single gold dot on a jet-black dial representing "the sun at high noon"; the design has been in MOMA's permanent collection since 1960. Casio's GA-2100 "CasiOak" uses a similar dot-dominant dial reading, though in that context the dots appear at all twelve positions rather than just twelve. Dot dials are the most graphically minimal category in the catalog and read as design-statement rather than instrument.
