improvement over last years $67.4 million, or 50.3 percent of sales. The increase
was attributed to a favorable shift in
channel and product mix, selective price
increases and sourcing improvements. It
was partially oset by foreign currency
headwinds.
In addition to the earnings, Movado also
revealed the retirement of Rick Cote, the
chief operating ocer and has no plans to
replace Cote. He will retire in June after 16
years with the company.
The board also approved an 18 percent increase in the dividend to 13 cents
a share. In addition to that, the board
authorized a new share buyback plan in
the amount of $50 million.

I feel people are just posting theyre
not looking, theyre filming. Theyre not
listening, theyre taping. [Theres] less
communication we have between us. The
decision to come in person [is] to tell you
that I really love China, I love being here.
Its not a post, its not a tweet, its to tell
you in person that you are a wonderful,
wonderful country, he said to a fashionable, iPhone-savvy audience, who were
giddily photographing his talk.
Elbaz has been visiting the Middle Kingdom for 15 years and talked about his love
for Chinese culture and traditions, but
how the country has also quickly adapted
to the globalized world. He cited an example of a waiter oering him ketchup at a
restaurant.
He went on to tell the students about
preserving traditions, taking the time to
travel, work odd jobs and continually
learn and gain work experience instead
of rushing to launch their own label after
graduation, deeming the move as provocation and in the end, nobody buys into
this provocation. The simple ingredients
of fashion, consisting of a seamstress,
needle and thread, is now being overshadowed by the clout of technology.
As an example, he shared his observations at an Apple Watch party he attended
in Paris.
I looked out in the industry and saw
a beautiful fashion industry, but I saw a
fashion industry that was a little bit tired,
a little bit confused, a little bit anxious, a
little bit in fear. On the other hand, I saw
the Apple boys and they look like the new
James Bond. When I came out of this, I
thought: how sad, whats happened to
fashion? How can technology take over
the glamour of fashion?
As a solution, Elbaz oered how smart
design could help move the industry
forward by mixing technology and the
humanity and beauty of fashion to make
beautiful clothes, he said.
In a country reputed for copycats, rote
learning and restricted freedoms, Elbaz
continually stressed the courage to push
the boundaries and be true to yourself.
Dont be afraid to be you, dont be
afraid to be me. Be dierent from everyone else, dont use a formulawhat we
have to do is make mistakes and mistakes
are the mother of creation, he said,
