When it comes to affordable, stylish watches, MVMT is one the Insider Picks team’s favorite brands.

The startup — founded by two college dropouts in 2013 — first caught our eye because of its watches minimalist look and affordable price. Since we first covered the brand, MVMT has grown to include a much wider range of watches, and even expanded into the sunglasses market.

MVMT most recently released a new line of women’s watches called Nova; the line is designed with a bold 38mm case and features a dual-timezone function.

I asked cofounder Jake Kassan about what inspired the line.

“We noticed an overwhelming response from our female fan base asking us to make a Chrono similar to our popular men’s style,” Kassan told me. “So we did just that, but with a unique twist; it’s our first collection to feature mixed metals. All nine styles were designed and inspired by navigation, time, and space, with each piece drawing its name from the cosmos.”

The move also makes great marketing sense. “With 75% of all e-commerce purchases being made by women, we’re well aware of the opportunity before us to scale our women’s side of the business,” Kassan said. “A goal for this year and next is to reach a near 50/50 split between genders.”

With the new Nova line, MVMT is off to a good start. You can check out the Nova line’s watches below, and check out all that MVMT has to offer here.

Another great piece for professionals, the Stella is slightly brighter-colored than the Orion, making it more immediately appealing to the eye.
