Movado Museum Watch Set 2100002-2100004

The Movado Museum watch is great. I'm really happy with it. I like that it's got some weight to it and due to all the compliments I continue to get it is definitely visible. If you are looking for a dainty, light-weight watch, this one is not for you. I love my watch and hope to enjoy if for years to come with it's classic look.

Roberta Naas: What is the new product Concord is unveiling this year?
Flavio Pellegrini: "We have a major launch this year in the new C1. It has been six years since we revamped the Concord brand with the direction and focus clearly on the C1, and that was a breakthrough product for us. Now, six years later, we are looking at the C1 again and are introducing an updated version. All of the codes of the old C1 are a little outdated; it is maybe a bit too thick and too bold for today's styles. So two years ago, we started revamping it. We are listening to our customers and are coming out with a modern interpretation of the C1 that still possesses the same legacy and DNA as the original."
 

Can you give us details about the new C1?
"It is a very exciting new product and we are very proud of the new C1. It is never easy to redesign an iconic product and this took us two years. We focused on legibility, comfort and style. The new C1 has an improved dial for easy readability and wearability was improved too, with a thinner case and a more comfortable strap. The case is thinner and rounder than before for a better fit. We have also been able to offer a very competitive price, as well. The C1 used to sell for $9,900 and it now sells for $7,000, which is a great price. The new C1 is being released in six different versions, including titanium with a ceramic bezel, full gold, and steel and gold. The strap is rubber with genuine alligator or, for the sport versions, it is rubber with calf leather to offer the look and feel of rubber but with the refinement of a leather strap. "
Is there some alignment of the new C1 with historical models?
"We started about two years ago focusing on the Saratoga in the Middle East market. Now we are using historical images of the Saratoga as inspiration for the new C1. There is a nice blending of the two collections as the new C1."

Are you changing the C2 at all?
"We are expanding the C2 collection with three new pieces this year. The main C2 piece is a very fun piece this year. Last year we focused on the urban element with the Graffiti piece and this year we are focusing on urban senses and music, and hearing is the sense we are looking to promote. It is a fun piece.
What have you done differently at BaselWorld this year in terms of the booth?
"This year we are very excited to have a new three-level booth that brings all three of the key Movado Group brands close together: Concord, Movado and Ebel. Having all three brands in one booth is exhilarating because of the synergies between the brands and we can share the strengths of the group. "

WORLDTEMPUS - 20 March 2010

With a host of luxury and fashion brands under its umbrella, the Movado Group Inc. is poised for growth in its markets and intent on forming ber brand partnerships with its retailers. Mother company to Movado, Concord, Ebel, ESQ, Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, and Hugo Boss, the Movado Group is predominantly positioned in the luxury market where it currently focuses the majority of its attention. The group has now announced upper management restructuring in its efforts to gain more synergy from the brands.

Most recently, it was announced that Loek Oprinsen would manage both Ebel and Concord on a worldwide basis and that Marc Michel-Amadry would oversee product development and strategic marketing worldwide for both brands as co-presidents. Alex Grinberg heads up both brands for the North American markets. Some distributors and retailers question whether this work load may be too optimistic.
"For many years we have effectively managed our Movado and ESQ by Movado brands under one management team," says Efraim Grinberg, chairman, president and CEO of Movado Group Inc. "There are many efficiencies as these brands have very similar distribution channels. We decided to take the same approach with our higher-end luxury brands, Concord and Ebel. Loek Oprinsen will be managing the brands on a worldwide basis, utilizing appropriate strategic initiatives to address each brand's individual needs and objectives. Marc Michel-Amadry will oversee product development, strategic marketing and public relations for both brands, as the synergies of these disciplines will be of benefit to the current structure, while at the same time maintaining each brand's unique DNA."

Efraim Grinberg is taking over as CEO of the Movado brand, and he admits he looks forward to the opportunity to get really involved in the business. When Grinberg first joined the company in 1980 it was a family business founded by his father, Gedalio Grinberg, then known as North American Watch Corporation. Efraim started as a stock boy, later moving up to sales and on up the ladder until he proved his own business acumen and was appointed president of the company in 1990. In a sense, he grew up with the Movado brand and has been driving its growth since his youth. North American Watch Corporation became publicly traded on the stock exchange and officially became the Movado Group in 1993.

Ebel Watches and Brown & Co. Jewelers, Atlanta, Georgia, shared in a tribute on December 3, 2009, to recognize 2009 US Open quarterfinalist Melanie Oudin for her stellar performance in the tournament. Melanie became the youngest American quarterfinalist at the Open since 1999.
At a celebratory reception held at Brown & Co. Jewelers in Atlanta. Ebel and Brown & Co. presented Melanie with a check to donate to her chosen charity - Children's Healthcare of Atlanta - along with an Ebel Brasilia watch, in honor of her distinguished performance and athletic accomplishments.
"We congratulate Melanie for her outstanding performance and the courage she demonstrated at this year's US Open", said Alan Chinich, US President of Ebel. "Melanie exemplifies the qualities of a true leader and role model - pursuit of excellence, passion and hard work. The manner in which she has pursued her dreams serves as an inspiration for all, and we wish her continued success both on and off the court".
Movado Group, Inc. designs, manufactures, and distributes Movado, Ebel, Concord, ESQ by Movado, Coach, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Juicy Couture and Tommy Hilfiger watches worldwide and operates Movado boutiques and Company Stores in the United States.

Grinberg has extensive MGI corporate management and watch industry experience. He joined the company in 1994 as a Territory Manager for the Movado Brand and in 1996 was promoted to the General Manager for Concord Asia. In that role, Grinberg was stationed in the Far East and spent the next four years developing Movado Group, Inc. brands in Hong Kong and Japan. He returned to the U.S. in 2000 and became the President of Concord, Americas.
"Over the past two years, MGI Luxury Group re-launched the brand by making it cutting-edge, defined by its bold philosophy, aggressive positioning and daring product. I am extremely confident that Alex along with the outstanding Concord team we have in place will continue to bring watch making to new heights and impact the industry in ways it has never seen before," said Movado Group Inc. Chairman, President and CEO, Efraim Grinberg.  
With the introduction of the C1 and the C1 QuantumGravity, Concord continues to develop new leadership product and industry firsts with modern, technologically masterful timepieces. This year Concord unveiled at BaselWorld, the extraordinary C1 QuantumGravity which will be available in limited production later this year.
Alex Grinberg was a key participant in the relaunch of the brand and together with the worldwide Concord team, will continue to focus on building unparalleled product and superior customer service. He will be based in the United States.
