Since then, strategic acquisitions of watch brands and their subsequent growth, along with license agreements, have played an important role in the expansion of the Company’s brand portfolio. Over time, the Company has developed its brand-building reputation and approach across an expanding number of brands and geographic markets.

In 1970, the Company acquired the Concord brand and the Swiss company that had been manufacturing Concord watches since 1908. In 1983, the Company acquired the U.S. distributor of Movado watches and substantially all of the assets related to the Movado brand from the Swiss manufacturer of Movado watches. The Company changed its name to Movado Group, Inc. in 1996. The Company sold its Piaget and Corum distribution businesses in 1999 and 2000, respectively, to focus on its own portfolio of brands. In March 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of EBEL, one of the world’s premier luxury watch brands which was established in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1911. In July 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Olivia Burton, which was one of the United Kingdom’s fastest-growing fashion watch and jewelry brands since its founding in 2011. In October 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of MVMT, which was founded in 2013, offering watches and accessories designed for the millennial consumer largely through a direct-to-consumer business model.

The Company is highly selective in its licensing strategy and chooses to enter into long-term agreements with only powerful brands which it believes have strong positions in their respective businesses.

The following table sets forth the brands licensed by the Company and the year in which the Company launched each licensed brand for watches. In addition, in July 2025 the Company signed a license agreement with Coach Services, Inc. pursuant to which the Company has the exclusive right to manufacture, market and distribute watches globally under the Kate Spade New York brand name, with the first collection planned to launch in the spring of 2027.

BRANDS

The Company designs, develops, sources, markets and distributes products under the following brands:

Owned Brands

Concord

Concord was founded through the harmonious collaboration of five Swiss visionaries in 1908. In 1979, Concord spearheaded the Swiss quartz revolution with one of the most important watches of the twentieth century: the Concord Delirium - the world's thinnest watch. To mark its 110th anniversary, Concord introduced a new logo depicting a knot in 2018. The knot signifies the brand’s foundation through harmonious unity and its laudable technical achievements and distinctive designs. The contemporary Mariner SL watch embodies this spirit and contributes to Concord’s strong legacy.

EBEL

EBEL’s success has been built upon the fusion of technical excellence and a passion for aesthetically daring and timeless, distinctive design. A passion for innovation and excellence in watch design has always been at the heart of the EBEL brand. EBEL was founded in 1911 by husband and wife Eugène Blum and Alice Lévy, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Since its inception, EBEL has remained true to its core values, manufacturing fine Swiss watches that marry beauty and function. In 2017 EBEL successfully relaunched its most iconic collection, the EBEL Sport Classic, which is renowned for its iconic bracelet design with signature wave-shaped links that helped to establish the sport-chic category in the late 70’s. EBEL continues to create timepieces that embody luxury and contemporary elegance.

Movado

The Movado brand is renowned for its iconic Museum® dial and modern design aesthetic. Since its founding in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1881, Movado has earned more than 100 patents and 200 international awards for artistry and innovation in watch design and technology, and Movado timepieces have won world renown for their unique beauty and timeless design. The Movado jewelry collection reflects the same timeless modern design aesthetic as its watches.

Movado is a hallmark of some of the most famous timepieces ever created, most notably, the Movado Museum® Watch. Designed in 1947 by Bauhaus-influenced artist Nathan George Horwitt, the watch dial defined by a solitary dot at 12 o’clock, symbolizing the sun at high noon, has been acclaimed for purity of design unrivaled in the history of time keeping. When Horwitt’s dial was selected for the permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1960, it became the first watch dial ever awarded this distinction. This legendary dial is regarded as an icon of Modernism. A trademarked and award-winning design, the celebrated single dot dial now distinguishes a wide range of Movado timepieces.

Along with its long, rich heritage of design innovation, the Movado brand experience is also defined by a close, enduring association with the arts. Expressions of Movado’s commitment to the fine and cultural arts encompass commissioned watch designs by famed artists, affiliations with talented brand ambassadors, sponsorship of major arts institutions and support of emerging artists.

MVMT

The MVMT brand was founded in a Southern California apartment in 2013 by two entrepreneurs. Originally empowered by crowdfunding and built digitally with a community of social media followers, their philosophy was to create a brand offering quality, sleek watches that are accessible to young consumers. MVMT’s designs and messaging embody the spirit of adventuring, creating, and daring to disrupt the norm.

Olivia Burton

Olivia Burton was founded in London by two friends who recognized a gap in the market for unique, feminine women's watches.

Watch product development for these brands is managed through the Company’s Asia operations.
