About the Company

Movado Group was originally created in 1961 as the North American Watch Company. Its founder, Gedalio Grinberg, was a refugee from Cuba who quickly became a legend in the watch industry. Pioneering the luxury watch business, Grinberg gained acclaim through his many widespread accomplishments, including his contribution to building the Piaget brand, the rescue and revitalization of the Movado brand and his efforts to rally Swiss forces during the quartz crisis of the 1970s. Gedalio Grinberg laid the foundation for what has become, under the successful leadership of his son, Efraim Grinberg, a $500+ million watch company.

Today, Movado Group is a major player in the watch industry worldwide, offering exciting career opportunities and a strong portfolio of ten widely respected brands: Movado, EBEL, Concord, MVMT, Olivia Burton, Coach Watches, HUGO BOSS Watches, Lacoste Watches, Tommy Hilfiger Watches and Calvin Klein Watches. As our brands expand globally, our employees continue to enjoy the rich experience of a small company environment, with hands‑on involvement and exposure to many different aspects of the business. From Product Development to Supply Chain operations, our employees can learn the inner workings of the industry, while growing within the organization.

We currently own and operate over 50 Movado Company Stores that offer exceptional value on products from all our fine watch brands. With strategic locations nationwide, this retail division supports our brand image and increases sales for our company.
