Movado Group, Inc.

Movado Group, Inc. designs, sources, markets and distributes fine watches and jewelry. Its portfolio of brands is comprised of Movado®, Ebel®, Concord®, ESQ®, Coach® Watches, HUGO BOSS® Watches, Juicy Couture® Watches, Tommy Hilfiger® Watches and Lacoste® Watches. The Company is a leader in the design, development, marketing and distribution of watch brands sold in almost every major category comprising the watch industry.

The Company was incorporated in New York in 1967 under the name North American Watch Corporation, to acquire Piaget Watch Corporation and Corum Watch Corporation, which had been, respectively, the exclusive importers and distributors of Piaget and Corum watches in the United States since the 1950’s. The Company sold its Piaget and Corum distribution businesses in 1999 and 2000, respectively, to focus on its own portfolio of brands. Since its incorporation, the Company has developed its brand-building reputation and distinctive image across an expanding number of brands and geographic markets. 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.

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. In March 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of Ebel, one of the world’s premier luxury watch brands that was established in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1911.

The Company divides its business into two major geographic segments: United States operations, and International, which includes the results of all other Company operations.

The Company’s international operations are principally conducted in Europe, Asia, Canada, the Middle East, South America and the Caribbean. The Company’s international assets are substantially located in Switzerland.

Wholesale

United States Wholesale

The Company sells all of its brands in the U.S. wholesale market primarily to major jewelry store chains such as Helzberg Diamonds Corp., Sterling, Inc. and Zale Corporation; department stores, such as Macy’s, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as independent jewelers. Sales to trade customers in the United States are made directly by the Company’s U.S. sales force of approximately 90 employees. Of these employees, sales representatives are responsible for a defined geographic territory, specialize in a particular brand and sell to and service independent jewelers within their territory. Their compensation is based on salary plus commission. The sales force also consists of account executives and account representatives who, respectively, sell to and service chain and department store accounts. The latter typically handle more than one of the Company’s brands and are compensated based on salary and incentives.

International Wholesale

Internationally, the Company’s brands are sold in department stores such as El Cortes Ingles in Spain and Galeries Lafayette in France, jewelry chain stores such as Christ in Switzerland and Germany and independent jewelers. The Company employs its own international sales force of approximately 50 employees operating at the Company’s sales and distribution offices in Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. In addition, the Company sells all of its brands other than ESQ through a network of independent distributors operating in numerous countries around the world. Distribution of ESQ watches which, outside of the United States are sold only in Canada and the Caribbean, is handled by the Company’s Canadian subsidiary and Caribbean based sales team. A majority of the Company’s arrangements with its international distributors are long-term, generally require certain minimum purchases and minimum advertising expenditures and restrict the distributor from selling competitive products.

In France and Germany, the Company’s licensed brands are marketed and distributed by subsidiaries of a joint venture company owned 51% by the Company and 49% by Financiere TWC SA ("TWC"), a French company with established distribution, marketing and sales operations in France and Germany.
