Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six months ended July 31, 1996 compared to six months ended July 31, 1995.

Net Sales.  Net sales increased 13.3% to $81.8 million from $72.2 million for
the six months ended July 31, 1996 and July 31, 1995, respectively.  The
increase was attributable to a 22.0% increase in domestic sales reflecting both
unit sales increases in Concord, Movado and Esquire brands and higher average
selling prices due to price increases in the second half of last year.  The
increase in domestic sales was offset by a 12.6% decrease in international sales
due to a shift in sales to the third quarter because of timing of new product 
introductions.

Gross Margins.  Gross profit for the six months ended July 31, 1996 was $45.0
million (55.0% of net sales) as compared to $38.2 million (53.0% of net sales)
for the comparable prior year period.  The increase in margin is mainly
attributable to the Company continuing to experience a shift in overall sales
mix toward its higher margin Movado, Concord and Esquire brands and price
increases instituted in the second half of last year.

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses increased 16.2% for the six months ended
July 31, 1996 to 50.3% of net sales from 49.0% of net sales for the comparable
prior year period.  Excluding the effect of a one-time, pre-tax charge of
$600,000 included in last year's quarter, operating expenses increased
approximately $6.3 million.  The increase in operating expenses is mainly
attributable to increases in advertising, marketing and other variable costs
related to higher sales volumes.

Interest Expense.  Net interest expense, which consists primarily of interest on
the Company's $40,000,000 of 6.56% Senior Notes and borrowings against its
working capital lines of credit, was $2.1 million for the six months ended July
31, 1996 as compared to $2.3 million for the comparable prior year period.  The
lower interest expense is mainly due to a reduction in average interest rates
partially offset by increased average amounts outstanding, as compared to the
period ended July 31, 1995.

Income Taxes.  The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $519,000 for
six months ended July 31, 1996 as compared to a provision of $166,000 for the
comparable prior year period.  Taxes were provided at a 30% effective rate which
the Company believes will approximate the effective annual rate for fiscal 1997;
however, there can be no assurance of this as it is dependent on a number of
factors including:  mix of foreign to domestic earnings, local statutory tax
rates and utilization of net operating losses.  The 30% effective rate differs
from the United States statutory rate due to the mix of earnings between the
Company's U.S. and international operations, the most significant of which are
located in Switzerland.  The Company's international operations are generally
subject to tax rates that are significantly lower than U.S. statutory rates.

Three months ended July 31, 1996 compared to three months ended July 31, 1995.

Net Sales.  Net sales increased 15.4% to $50.8 million from $44.0 million for
the three months ended July 31, 1996 and July 31, 1995, respectively.  The
increase was attributable to a 25.3% increase in domestic sales reflecting both
unit sales increases in the Company's Concord, Movado and Esquire brands and
higher average selling prices due to price increases in the second half of last
year.  Although certain international markets have shown slight improvement over
the comparable period last year, international sales as a whole declined 15.5%
for the three months ended July 31, 1996 due to a shift in sales to the third 
quarter because of timing of new product introductions.

Gross Margins.  Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 1996 was $27.6
million (54.4% of net sales) as compared to $23.3 million (53.0% of net sales)
for the comparable prior year period.  The increase in margin is mainly
attributable to the Company continuing to experience a shift in overall sales
mix toward its higher margin Movado, Concord and Esquire brands and price
increases instituted in the second half of last year.

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses increased 20.1% for the three months
ended July 31, 1996 to 47.2% of net sales from 45.3% of net sales for the
comparable prior year period.  Operating expenses increased approximately $4.0
million. The increase in operating expenses is mainly attributable to increases
in advertising, marketing and other variable costs related to higher sales
volumes.

Interest Expense.  Net interest expense, which consists primarily of interest on
the Company's $40,000,000 of 6.56% Senior Notes and borrowings against its
working capital lines of credit, was $1.3 million for the three months ended
July 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Interest expense remained flat as
compared with the prior year period as a result of a slight decrease in interest
rates on the working capital lines.

Income Taxes.  The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $722,000 for
three months ended July 31, 1996 as compared to a provision of $627,000 for the
comparable prior year period.  Taxes were provided at a 30% effective rate which
the Company believes will approximate the effective annual rate for fiscal 1997;
however, there can be no assurance of this as it is dependent on a number of
factors including:  mix of foreign to domestic earnings, local statutory tax
rates and utilization of net operating losses.  The 30% effective rate differs
from the United States statutory rate due to the mix of earnings between the
Company's U.S. and international operations, the most significant of which are
located in Switzerland.  The Company's international operations are generally
subject to tax rates that are significantly lower than U.S. statutory rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity needs have been, and are expected to remain, primarily a
function of its seasonal working capital requirements which have increased due
to significant growth in domestic sales over the two previous years.  The
Company's business is not capital intensive and liquidity needs for capital
investments have not been significant in relation to the Company's overall
financing requirements.

The Company has met its liquidity needs primarily through funds from operations
and bank borrowings under working capital lines of credit with domestic and
Swiss banks.  The Company has also entered into a revolving credit agreement
with its domestic banks.  Funds available under this agreement are in addition
to the Company's working capital lines.  The Company's debt to total
capitalization ratio was 41.2% at July 31, 1996, 40.6% at July 31, 1995 and
31.8% at January 31, 1996.  The increase from January 31, 1996 was primarily the
result of the Company financing seasonal working capital requirements under its
working capital lines of credit.

The Company's net working capital consisting primarily of trade receivables and
inventories amounted to $132.6 million at July 31, 1996, $129.0 million at July
31, 1995 and $132.7 million at January 31, 1996.






                                        8
<PAGE>




Accounts receivable at July 31, 1996 were $79.3 million as compared to $70.1
million at July 31, 1995 and $75.3 million at January 31, 1996.  The increase in
the receivables was primarily the result of the Company's increased domestic
sales volume and the timing of shipments during the second quarter of fiscal
1997.

Inventories at July 31, 1996 were $108.6 million as compared to $100.7 million
at July 31, 1995 and $89.1 million at January 31, 1996.  The increase in
inventories reflects both the seasonal build in inventories as well as the
expansion of the company's sales base and product line.

The Company's fiscal 1997 year-to-date capital expenditures approximate $2.3
million compared to $1.4 million through July 31, 1995.  Expenditures were
primarily related to improvements in the Company's management and sales
management information systems and costs incurred in connection with the
expansion of domestic distribution operations.  Additionally, costs related to
the company's new Piaget flagship store in New York City are included in fiscal
1997.  The Company expects its annual capital expenditures in fiscal year 1997
will exceed the average levels experienced over the last three fiscal years due
to planned improvements in management information systems, expansion of its
retail store network, including the Piaget store, and the expansion of
distribution operations to support continued sales growth.
