Fair Value Assets And Liabilities Measured On Recurring And Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
	—	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	—	Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
	—	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.
	The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands) as of October 31, 2014 and 2013 and January 31, 2014:
					Fair Value at October 31, 2014

	Total				$	19,999			$	93	$	—	$	20,092
	The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are based on quoted prices. The fair value of the long-term investment is based on the purchase price plus eight percent calculated annually. Time deposits are classified as short-term investments and held to original maturity. The assets related to the Company’s defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) consist of both employer (employee unvested) and employee assets which are invested in investment funds with fair values calculated based on quoted market prices. The SERP liability represents the Company’s liability to the employees in the plan for their vested balances. The hedge derivatives are entered into by the Company principally to reduce its exposure to the Swiss franc exchange rate risk. Fair values of the Company’s hedge derivatives are calculated based on quoted foreign exchange rates, quoted interest rates and market volatility factors.
	The following table presents a reconciliation of the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013.  Level 3 consists of a long-term investment.

	NOTE 6 – DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT
	On July 17, 2009, the Company, together with Movado Group Delaware Holdings Corporation, Movado Retail Group, Inc. and Movado LLC (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), each a wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Original Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. and Bank Leumi USA, as lenders (“Lenders”), and Bank of America, N.A., as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The parties have amended the Original Loan Agreement four times: on April 5, 2011, March 12, 2012, August 14, 2014 and September 30, 2014 (the Original Loan Agreement, as so amended, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a $25.0 million asset based senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), including a $15.0 million letter of credit subfacility, and provides that Borrowers are entitled to request that Lenders increase the Facility up to $50 million subject to any additional terms and conditions the parties may agree upon. The maturity date of the Facility is July 17, 2019.
	Availability under the Facility is determined by reference to a borrowing base which is based on the sum of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory of the Borrowers. $10.0 million in availability is blocked unless the Borrowers have achieved for the most recently ended four fiscal quarter periods a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0 with domestic EBITDA greater than $10.0 million. The availability block, if applicable, will be reduced by the amount by which the borrowing base exceeds $25.0 million, up to a maximum reduction of $5.0 million. Availability under the Facility may be further reduced by certain reserves established by the Agent in its good faith credit judgment. The Borrowers are not currently subject to the availability block. As of October 31, 2014, total availability under the Facility, giving effect to no outstanding borrowings and the $4.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the subfacility, was $20.9 million.
	The current applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans is 1.25% and for base rate loans is 0.25%. The applicable margins increase by 0.25% per annum from the current applicable margins if the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than or equal to  1.50 to 1.00 and less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00, and by 0.50% if the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.50 to 1.00.
	After the date (the “Block Release Date”) when availability under the Facility is no longer subject to any blocked amount, if borrowing availability is less than $7.5 million, the Borrowers will be subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio until such time as borrowing availability has been greater than $7.5 million for at least 90 consecutive days.
	After the Block Release Date, cash dominion will be imposed if borrowing availability is less than $10.0 million and will continue until such time as borrowing availability has been greater than $10.0 million for at least 45 consecutive days. As of October 31, 2014, the Borrowers were not subject to cash dominion nor do the Borrowers expect to be subject to such a requirement in the foreseeable future.
	The Loan Agreement contains additional affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Borrowers and their subsidiaries that are customary for asset based facilities, including, but not limited to, restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt for borrowed money and liens, dispositions of assets, capital expenditures, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, the making of loans and equity investments, prepayments of subordinated and certain other debt, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, and transactions with affiliates. The Loan Agreement permits Borrowers to pay distributions as dividends and make share repurchases up to an aggregate of $150.0 million (less the amount of any charitable donations made by the Company which are permitted up to an aggregate amount of $14.0 million) and make acquisitions up to an aggregate of $50.0 million, as long as, at the time of such transaction, either (A) Borrowers have cash assets of at least $60.0 million with no revolver loans outstanding, or (B) (i) the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.10 to 1.00, (ii) availability is greater than $7.5 million and (iii) positive EBITDA plus repatriated cash dividends minus restricted payments are greater than $0. As of October 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants and, therefore, is permitted to pay dividends and to repurchase up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of shares. The Company presently expects that it will be able to pay dividends declared and repurchase shares through the remaining term of the Facility.
	The Loan Agreement contains events of default that are customary for facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts when due, failure of any representation or warranty to be true in any material respect when made or deemed made, violation of covenants, cross default, material judgments, material ERISA liability, bankruptcy events, material loss of collateral in excess of insured amounts, asserted or actual revocation or invalidity of the loan documents, change of control and events or circumstances having a material adverse effect. The borrowings under the Facility are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and also cross-guaranteed by each Borrower. In addition, the Borrowers’ obligations under the Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Borrowers’ U.S. assets (other than certain excluded assets).
	A Swiss subsidiary of the Company maintains unsecured lines of credit with an unspecified length of time with a Swiss bank. As of October 31, 2014, these lines of credit totaled 5.0 million Swiss francs with a dollar equivalent of $5.2 million. As of October 31, 2013, these lines of credit totaled 10.0 million Swiss francs with a dollar equivalent of $11.0 million. As of October 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no borrowings against these lines. As of October 31, 2014, two European banks have guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of $1.3 million in various foreign currencies.

Earnings Per Share	'
	NOTE 7 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
	The Company presents net income per share on a basic and diluted basis. Basic earnings per share are computed using weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for dilutive common stock equivalents.
	The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for basic earnings per share was approximately 25,326,000 and 25,495,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, the number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share increased by approximately 290,000 and 347,000, respectively, due to potentially dilutive common stock equivalents issuable under the Company’s stock compensation plans and SERP.
	For the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately 141,000 and 348, respectively, of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
	The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for basic earnings per share was approximately 25,345,000 and 25,528,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, the number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share increased by approximately 316,000 and 327,000, respectively, due to potentially dilutive common stock equivalents issuable under the Company’s stock compensation plans and SERP.
	For the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately 89,000 and 79,000, respectively, of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

	As of October 31, 2014, one bank in the domestic bank group had issued four irrevocable standby letters of credit in connection with a trademark license agreement, retail and operating facility leases to various landlords and for Canadian payroll to the Royal Bank of Canada. As of October 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.1 million with expiration dates through April 30, 2016.
	As of October 31, 2014, two European banks had guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of $1.3 million in various foreign currencies.
	The Company is involved from time to time in legal claims involving trademarks and other intellectual property, contracts, employee relations and other matters incidental to the Company’s business.

Income Taxes	'
	NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
	The Company recorded a tax expense of $10.9 million and $10.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate was 32.7% for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 31.1% for the three months ended October 31, 2013.
	The Company recorded a tax expense of $19.2 million and $18.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate was 31.4% for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 29.1% for the nine months ended October 31, 2013.
	The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2014 compared to October 31, 2013 was primarily due to the negative impact on earnings in tax jurisdictions with higher effective tax rates. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 compared to October 31, 2013, was primarily due to the benefit related to the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of favorable U.S. and foreign audit settlements occurring in the nine months ended October 31, 2013, and the negative impact on earnings in tax jurisdictions with higher effective tax rates.  In addition, the effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014, was impacted by the application of guidelines related to accounting for income taxes in interim periods, which requires the exclusion of certain companies with pretax losses from the estimated annual effective tax rate.
	The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign profits being taxed in lower taxing jurisdictions partially offset by no tax benefit being realized on certain foreign net operating losses.

Derivative Financial Instruments	'
	NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with guidance which requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. A significant portion of the Company’s purchases are denominated in Swiss francs. The Company reduces its exposure to the Swiss franc exchange rate risk through a hedging program. Under the hedging program, the Company manages most of its foreign currency exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows it to net certain exposures and take advantage of natural offsets. In the event these exposures do not offset, the Company uses various derivative financial instruments to further reduce the net exposures to currency fluctuations, predominately forward and option contracts. When entered into, the Company designates and documents these derivative instruments as a cash flow hedge of a specific underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and documented as a cash flow hedge and is highly effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction affects earnings, and then are later reclassified into earnings in the same account as the hedged transaction. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at each financial quarter thereafter, the effectiveness of the derivative instrument hedging the underlying forecasted cash flow transaction. Any ineffectiveness related to the derivative financial instruments’ change in fair value will be recognized as other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the ineffectiveness was calculated.
	The Company uses forward exchange contracts to offset its exposure to certain foreign currency receivables and liabilities. These forward contracts are not designated as qualified hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in SG&A expenses and cost of sales, respectively, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency receivables and liabilities.
	All of the Company’s derivative instruments have liquid markets to assess fair value. The Company does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading purposes.
	As of October 31, 2014, the Company’s entire net forward contracts hedging portfolio consisted of 48.0 million Swiss francs equivalent for various expiry dates ranging through May 12, 2015.
	The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives (in thousands):

This pronouncement applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. This pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Line of Credit Facility, Description

'

'

'The Loan Agreement permits Borrowers to pay distributions as dividends and make share repurchases up to an aggregate of $150.0 million (less the amount of any charitable donations made by the Company which are permitted up to an aggregate amount of $14.0 million) and make acquisitions up to an aggregate of $50.0 million, as long as, at the time of such transaction, either (A) Borrowers have cash assets of at least $60.0 million with no revolver loans outstanding, or (B) (i) the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.10 to 1.00, (ii) availability is greater than $7.5 million and (iii) positive EBITDA plus repatriated cash dividends minus restricted payments are greater than $0. As of October 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants and, therefore, is permitted to pay dividends and to repurchase up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of shares. The Company presently expects that it will be able to pay dividends declared and repurchase shares through the remaining term of the Facility.
