"Everyone said that millennials were never going to buy watches," said Margot Grinberg, president of the Movado Brand and svp of e-commerce at its parent company Movado Group. The going theory was: "They don't need them to tell time, they had a phone; watches were dead after the cell phone came out." But that didn't happen. In fact, timepieces have never been more popular. According to a recent survey from the Boston Consulting Group, between 2021 and 2023, 54% of Gen Z and younger millennials increased their spending on luxury watches. Grinberg joined the Modern Retail Podcast and spoke about the state of higher-end watches, as well as its evolving marketing playbook. For her, it's a family affair as her grandfather founded the company. But even with its long history, Movado has been intently focused on attracting younger shoppers. Despite being over a century old, the watch brand -- which also works with top names like Coach, Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss -- has been figuring out ways to introduce itself to younger shoppers. This has included a revamped logo, soon-to-be redesigned packaging as well as updated messaging. While the products have remained relatively consistent, Grinberg said what makes shoppers -- especially younger shoppers -- more amenable to higher-end brands is in messaging. "I think in today's world, a lot of it is about marketing and how you're communicating to customers," she said. The other part of the equation is being available on multiple channels. Movado's watches are sold in most any store that sells time pieces, but it's also available on marketplaces like Amazon as well as its own website. "There are so many new elements that you can offer consumers from an e-commerce experience that we didn't even have five, 10 years ago," Grinberg said.

In a recently held earnings call on March 26, 2024, Movado Group shared their recent earnings report with investors. The company's CEO, Efraim Grinberg highlighted some of the challenges the group is facing within U.S and European distribution channels. Notably, he said, "While challenges remain in our distribution channels in the U.S. and Europe, we are focused on partnering with our customers to help them expand their business, build consumer demand, and increase market share across our brands." Further, he shared Movado's commitment to utilize their robust financial position to support upcoming marketing initiatives with an incremental investment of $25 million. The financial figures from Movado's recent sales paint a picture of challenges that the company faces in retaining its momentum in a competitive retail industry. Declining sales for the final quarter and the full fiscal year of 2024 were clearly evident. However, the group's strong financial health was reflected through their debt-free balance sheet and a substantial cash reserve of $262 million. In order to tackle these challenges, Movado Group has implemented innovative growth strategies focusing on amplified marketing efforts and brand development in key European markets. According to the company, these measures, together with an emphasis on revitalizing the Movado brand and introducing a fresh brand campaign, have resulted in a favorable impact on sales via the Movado.com platform. Responding to changing consumer behaviors, Movado Group acknowledges the influence of various macroeconomic factors such as post-COVID dynamics, inflation, and geopolitical unrest. The management intends to invest $25 million in marketing and brand promotion with a goal to stimulate growth and establish a larger market share. Looking forward to the year 2025, the group plans to boost its expenditures in marketing and brand building targeted mainly at their flagship brands including Movado, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, and Coach. This approach, as stated by the company, is expected to improve marketing communications, introduce key product range, uplift conversion rates, and focus on targeted marketing campaigns, aiming towards continuous long-term growth and profitability. In conclusion, according to the information shared during the earnings call, Movado Group has a proactive plan to handle existing financial challenges through strategic investments in marketing and brand development. The company seems determined to restore growth in the coming year. However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of these strategies will be dictated by numerous variables including market conditions and consumer behavior. While Movado appears positioned for potential success, only time will truly reveal the future outcomes of its strategic initiatives.

Margot started her career as an analyst at Barclays Investment Bank. She wasn't sure exactly what she wanted to do at that time, but she did know having a good financial base would help her no matter what path she chose. She has always had a passion for retail, and in 2014, she joined the family business as a merchandising analyst at Movado Group. Eventually, she moved into sales, then business development, and most recently, she spent 4.5 years as the Vice President of E-Commerce, Digital Marketing and Marketplaces. All of these roles helped develop her understanding of the category and company and prepared her for her current role as president of the Movado brand and senior vice president of e-commerce. Today, she is responsible for the day-to-day management of the brand as well as the development and execution of long- and short-term growth strategies. In addition to managing Movado marketing and merchandising, Margot maintains responsibility for e-commerce sales for Movado, MCS, Olivia Burton, and Amazon North America.Movado Group is a watch and jewelry company made up of brands they own and also brands they license. Movado, their namesake brand, was founded in 1881 in Switzerland by a 19-year-old entrepreneur. Movado Group was founded by Margot's grandfather, Gedalio Grinberg, and is currently run by her father, Efraim Grinberg, the chairman and CEO. Margot tells us her family connection gives her the passion and inspiration she channels back into the company.In this episode, Alan and Margot discuss her professional path, her passion for pasta, and the legacy of Movado Group. They talk about her transition from investment banking into the “family business," the market for accessories, and where e-commerce is going. Margot tells us the retail environment is a challenge, and not just for accessories but across the board. To overcome these challenges, Margot and her team have taken a step back to think about how they can build on their longstanding good reputation and credibility in the industry to bring their brand promise to the next generation of consumers and build long-term relationships with them. One way they are doing that is with campaigns like “connecting the dots,” where they looked at everything that has defined Movado over the years, how they have evolved, and how they show up today to figure out how to communicate their brand promise most effectively.In this episode, you'll learn:The history of Movado and the family businessMovado's new “connecting the dots” campaignHow Margot and her team are building brand loyaltyKey Highlights:[01:50] Margot's pasta obsession[03:15] Movado's history[05:05] Working her way up through the ranks[07:50] Lessons from investment banking[08:50] Taking on the “family business"[10:40] The marketplace for accessories[11:40] Reaching customers[13:00] Owning where they have been and where they are going[13:55] “Connecting the dots”[15:20] Challenges of launching a new campaign[16:00] CSR at Movado[18:12] To be a young, successful female executive[20:40] Losing her mother at 9 shapes who she is today.[22:20] Flexible, adaptable, and open to change[23:30] How do you build brand loyalty?[25:00] Balancing using measurement and instincts[25:55] Marketing lessons from travel[27:00] How do you think about longevity in your company?Looking for more?Visit our website for the full show notes, links to resources mentioned in this episode, and ways to connect with the guest!

On Today’s Episode we have founder & CEO of MVMT, Jake Kassan. We jump right into his big wins & losses in e-commerce as a teen, all the way up to his $100 Million+ exit to Movado Group. We do in depth about different digital marketing strategies, the importance of understanding your consumer, how to develop a great team, and why he chose, a new Space piece, "Dreams Rise Fears Fall" as his favorite IKONICK piece.
Hello our beautiful friends! Today we have a very interesting conversation with Jake Kassan, a young passionate Californian entrepreneur who co-founded a very successful and internationally loved brand – MVMT Watches. Since early age, Jake was passionate about living the life of financial freedom. Today, he tells us his unique entrepreneurial journey and shares his business lessons. Full show notes: https://www.ikonns.com/podcast/62 Jake's father was an entrepreneur – and it made him eager to learn how to make money. At the age of 10, Jake already knew he wanted to be successful and live the life where money couldn't dictate him what he needed to do. That's why Jake started his entrepreneurial journey so young. “School system is designed not to make you an entrepreneur, but to make you an employee.” – Alex Ikonn When Jake was 12 years old, he sold the lollipops and made between $300 and $400 in a couple weeks. At the age of 17, Jake launched his first business selling novelty T-shirts that included a microphone and lights, definitely a hit at night-club party scene in California. He then started an e-commerce business, NiteLifeDesigns.com, which he promoted successfully by making YouTube videos. At its peak, Nite Life Designs made $10,000 a week. Jake dropped out of college when he was 19. Together with Kramer LaPlante, two brimming entrepreneurs launched MVMT Watches in June of 2013 with $300,000 they raised through two Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns. Soon the Los Angeles-based start-up evolved into a huge success. And Jake did expect that success, because he believed in their product. “My life philosophy is better to try and explore opportunities than look back and regret” – Jake Kassan Navigating towards the right way using innovative marketing strategies and data driven thinking, MVMT quickly established itself as a lifestyle watch microbrand with a powerful online presence. Jake and Kramer were able to found a niche by advertising their product heavily on social media.In 2018, Movado Group (also known for selling Lacoste, Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss) purchased the company for $100 million. Before MVMT Watches launched, Jake was a 21 year old college dropout with more than $20,000 worth of debt to his name from previous business ventures. By achieving intense success he always wanted to achieve, Jake demonstrates –once again– that regardless of age, financials, circumstances, and even regardless of formal education, hard work, determination and strong belief always pays off, as long as you continue the hustle and are able to enjoy the process. Here are some tips to young entrepreneurs starting out right now: Try new things, and even if you fail, you can always learn from that. Before starting your own business, try to find a job or mentors who work in the industry you want to get into. In the early stages, you can find a place to work that you really believe in, where you can feel fulfilled by building something with a team. Talk to people –like CEOs, early employees, entrepreneurs, inspirational leaders– and learn from them. Educate yourself: there is so much information you can find useful. Decide why do you want to become an entrepreneur. Hope you enjoyed this week's episode with Jake, you can find out more about him here: Jake's Instagram Jake's Website
Today we’re getting an inside look at MVMT’s office in Playa Vista, CA with their Brand Director Blake Pinsker aka "Blakey P" for Episode 4 of What They DON’T See. Originally from Valencia, CA, Blake got a message from MVMT’s Co-Founder Jake Kassan (Ep 113) with an opportunity to help build this watch brand from the ground up in 2013. Having just recently graduated from San Diego State University and bouncing from job to job, he jumped on the opportunity and went all in.

They’ve built some incredible relationships with content creators Sam Kolder, That One Blond Kid (Ep 71), Matt Komo (Ep 105), Jacob Riglin (Ep 108), Rory Kramer (Ep 110) and more. Fast forward to August of 2018, MVMT announced they were to be acquired by Movado Group for $100 Million. Today they now offer eyewear and jewelry for both guys & gals.

Merry Christmas! On tonight's podcast, I discuss Movado Group and read a poem by Emma Lazarus that is on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus. I don't own any shares of MOV, but like the recent quarter that beat expectations, the raised guidance, the steady Morningstar.com "5-Yr Restated" financials, the increasing dividend, stable outstanding shares, and solid balance sheet.
