I'd start with:

    echo mv -- *(/ch-1) /foo/

The *(...) syntax is documented in "Glob Qualifiers" in zshexpn(1).  The
'c' restricts ctime to the last 1 hour to and the '/' restricts to directories.

I added a '--' for safety (in case a filename begins with a minus),
but that's not specific to zsh; the 'find' version needs it too
(as in, '-exec mv -- {} ... ;').
