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.
