Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Movado Group, Inc. (the “Company”), in a manner consistent with that used in the preparation of the annual audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet data at January 31, 2017 is derived from the audited annual financial statements, which are included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in connection with these interim unaudited financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Changes to Critical Accounting

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Changes to Critical Accounting Policies	NOTE 2 - As a result of the acquisition of JLB Brands Ltd., the owner of the Olivia Burton brand, in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company has made the following additions to its critical accounting policies related to intangible assets and goodwill (see Note 17 – Acquisitions). Intangibles In accordance with applicable guidance, the Company estimates and records the fair value of purchased intangible assets at the time of its acquisition, which in the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand primarily consist of a trade name and customer relationships. The fair values of these intangible assets are estimated based on independent third-party appraisals. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying values may not be fully recoverable. Estimates of fair value for finite-lived intangible assets are primarily determined using discounted cash flows, with consideration of market comparisons and recent transactions. This approach uses significant estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows, discount rates and growth rates. Goodwill At the time of acquisition, in accordance with applicable guidance, the Company records all acquired net assets at their estimated fair values. These estimated fair values are based on management’s assessments and independent third-party appraisals. The excess of the purchase consideration over the aggregate estimated fair values of the acquired net assets is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but will be assessed for impairment at least annually. Under applicable guidance, the Company generally performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value, a quantitative test is performed. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (see Note 14 – Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements) on a prospective basis during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 in light of goodwill in the period, associated with the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand. The quantitative impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The quantitative impairment test identifies the existence of potential impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company will record an impairment charge, as an operating expense item, based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Determination of the fair value of a reporting unit and the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit is based on management's assessment, including the consideration of independent third-party appraisals when necessary. Furthermore, this determination is subjective in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment charge is recognized and the amount of any such charge. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined using discounted cash flows, market comparisons, and recent transactions. These approaches use significant estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows, discount rates, growth rates, and determination of appropriate market comparisons.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Assets And Liabilities Measured On Recurring And Nonrecurring Basis [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	NOTE 3 – 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, 2017 and 2016 and January 31, 2017: Fair Value at October 31, 2017 Balance Sheet Location Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Available-for-sale securities Other current assets $ 291 $ — $ — $ 291 Short-term investment Other current assets 156 — — 156 SERP assets - employer Other non-current assets 1,538 — — 1,538 SERP assets - employee Other non-current assets 35,532 — — 35,532 Hedge derivatives Other current assets — 67 — 67 Total $ 37,517 $ 67 $ — $ 37,584 Liabilities: SERP liabilities - employee Other non-current liabilities $ 35,532 $ — $ — $ 35,532 Hedge derivatives Accrued liabilities — 685 — 685 Total $ 35,532 $ 685 $ — $ 36,217 Fair Value at January 31, 2017 Balance Sheet Location Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Available-for-sale securities Other current assets $ 309 $ — $ — $ 309 Short-term investment Other current assets 154 — — 154 SERP assets - employer Other non-current assets 1,091 — — 1,091 SERP assets - employee Other non-current assets 30,831 — — 30,831 Hedge derivatives Other current assets — 145 — 145 Total $ 32,385 $ 145 $ — $ 32,530 Liabilities: SERP liabilities - employee Other non-current liabilities $ 30,831 $ — $ — $ 30,831 Hedge derivatives Accrued liabilities — 211 — 211 Total $ 30,831 $ 211 $ — $ 31,042 Fair Value at October 31, 2016 Balance Sheet Location Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Available-for-sale securities Other current assets $ 280 $ — $ — $ 280 Short-term investment Other current assets 150 — — 150 SERP assets - employer Other non-current assets 1,464 — — 1,464 SERP assets - employee Other non-current assets 28,495 — — 28,495 Hedge derivatives Other current assets — 141 — 141 Total $ 30,389 $ 141 $ — $ 30,530 Liabilities: SERP liabilities - employee Other non-current liabilities $ 28,495 $ — $ — $ 28,495 Hedge derivatives Accrued liabilities — 391 — 391 Total $ 28,495 $ 391 $ — $ 28,886 The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are based on quoted prices. The fair value of the short-term investment, which is a guaranteed investment certificate, is based on its purchase price plus one half of a percent calculated annually. 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 Swiss franc and Euro exchange rate risks. Fair values of the Company’s hedge derivatives are calculated based on quoted foreign exchange rates and quoted interest rates. The carrying amount of debt approximated fair value as of October 31, 2017. During the three months ended October 31, 2016, the Company determined that an investment in a privately held company experienced an other than temporary impairment and recorded a charge of $1.3 million, in other expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, to reduce the carrying value to zero in the United States location of the Wholesale segment.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment and Geographic Information	NOTE 5 – SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION The Company follows accounting guidance which requires disclosure of segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. The Company conducts its business in two operating segments: Wholesale and Retail. The Company’s Wholesale segment includes the designing, manufacturing and distribution of watches of quality owned brands and licensed brands, in addition to revenue generated from after-sales service activities and shipping. The Retail segment includes the Company’s retail outlet locations. The Company divides its business into two major geographic locations: United States operations, and International, which includes the results of all non-U.S. Company operations. The allocation of geographic revenue is based upon the location of the customer.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt and Lines of Credit	NOTE 7 – DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT On January 30, 2015, the Company, together with Movado Group Delaware Holdings Corporation, Movado Retail Group, Inc. and Movado LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), each a wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) including a $15.0 million letter of credit sub-facility that matures on January 30, 2020, with provisions for uncommitted increases of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate, subject to customary terms and conditions. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers also entered into a Security and Pledge Agreement dated as of January 30, 2015 in favor of the Agent (the “Security Agreement”). As of October 31, 2017, $30.0 million in loans were drawn under the Facility. Additionally, approximately $0.3 million in letters of credit, which were outstanding under the Borrower’s pre-existing asset-based revolving credit facility that was concurrently terminated when the Credit Agreement became effective, are deemed to be issued and outstanding under the Facility. As of October 31, 2017, availability under the Facility was approximately $69.7 million. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at rates selected periodically by the Company at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% per annum, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, or at a base rate plus a spread ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% per annum based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). At October 31, 2017, the Company’s spreads were 1.25% over LIBOR and 0.25% over the base rate. The Company has also agreed to pay certain fees and expenses and to provide certain indemnities, all of which are customary for such financings. The borrowings under the Facility are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and are also cross-guaranteed by each Borrower. In addition, pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Borrowers’ obligations under the Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets other than certain excluded assets. The Security Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants, which are customary for pledge and security agreements of this type, relating to the creation and perfection of security interests in favor of the Agent over various categories of the Borrowers’ assets. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Borrowers and their subsidiaries that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt and liens, dispositions of assets, capital expenditures, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, the making of loans and equity investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, and transactions with affiliates (in each case, subject to various exceptions). The Borrowers are also subject to a minimum consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) test of $50.0 million, measured at the end of each fiscal quarter based on the four most recent fiscal quarters and a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenant not to exceed 2.50 to 1.00, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of October 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement. The Credit 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 with material indebtedness, material judgments, material ERISA liability, bankruptcy events, asserted or actual revocation or invalidity of the loan documents, and change of control. As of October 31, 2017, the Company classified $5.0 million of the outstanding balance under the Facility as current based on voluntary payments estimated to be made in the next twelve months, with the remainder classified as long-term debt based on the 2020 maturity date of the Facility and the Company’s intent and ability to refinance its obligations thereunder. As of October 31, 2017, Bank of America, N.A. issued two irrevocable standby letters of credit in connection with retail and operating facility leases to various landlords and for Canadian payroll to the Royal Bank of Canada. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $0.3 million with expiration dates through May 31, 2018. A Swiss subsidiary of the Company maintains unsecured lines of credit with an unspecified maturity with a Swiss bank. As of October 31, 2017 and 2016, these lines of credit totaled 6.5 million Swiss francs and 6.5 million Swiss francs with a dollar equivalent of $6.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively. As of October 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no borrowings against these lines. As of October 31, 2017, two European banks had guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of $1.1 million, in various foreign currencies, of which $0.5 million is a restricted deposit as it relates to lease agreements. As of October 31, 2016, two European banks had guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the dollar equivalent of $1.2 million in various foreign currencies, of which $0.6 million is a restricted deposit as it relates to lease agreements.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	NOTE 8 – 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 23,079,000 and 23,055,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, the number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share increased by approximately 194,000 and 175,000, 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, 2017 and 2016, approximately 798,000 and 862,000, respectively, of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for basic earnings per share was approximately 23,080,000 and 23,074,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, the number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share increased by approximately 181,000 and 185,000, 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, 2017 and 2016, approximately 803,000 and 790,000, respectively, of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has minimum commitments related to the Company’s license agreements and endorsement agreements with brand ambassadors. The Company sources, distributes, advertises and sells watches pursuant to its exclusive license agreements with unaffiliated licensors. Royalty amounts under the license agreements are generally based on a stipulated percentage of revenues, although most of these agreements contain provisions for the payment of minimum annual royalty amounts. The license agreements have various terms and some have additional renewal options, provided that minimum sales levels are achieved. Additionally, the license agreements require the Company to pay minimum annual advertising amounts. The Company believes that income tax reserves are adequate; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater or less than amounts accrued and reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, the Company could record adjustments to the amounts for federal, state, and foreign liabilities in the future as the Company revises estimates or settles or otherwise resolves the underlying matters. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may take new positions that could increase or decrease unrecognized tax benefits in future periods. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company released to cash $1.0 million in restricted cash deposits that were previously recorded in other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, related to a certain vendor agreement. In December 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) issued an audit report concerning the methodology used by the Company to allocate the cost of certain watch styles imported into the U.S. among the component parts of those watches for tariff purposes. The report disputes the reasonableness of the Company’s historical allocation formulas and proposes an alternative methodology that would imply approximately $5.1 million in underpaid duties over the five-year period covered by the statute of limitations, plus possible penalties and interest. The Company believes that U.S. Customs’ alternative duty methodology and estimate are not consistent with the Company’s facts and circumstances and is disputing U.S. Customs’ position. On February 24, 2017, the Company provided U.S. Customs with supplemental analyses and information supporting the Company’s historical allocation formulas and is in the process of providing additional information for U.S. Customs’ review. Although the Company disagrees with U.S. Customs’ position, it cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of this matter. The Company intends to continue to work with U.S. Customs to reach a mutually-satisfactory resolution. The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims from time to time, in the ordinary course of its business. Legal reserves are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable and it is possible that results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by unfavorable developments in, or resolution or disposition of, such matters. For those legal proceedings and claims for which the Company believes that it is probable that a reasonably estimable loss may result, the Company records a reserve for the potential loss. For proceedings and claims where the Company believes it is reasonably possible that a loss may result that is materially in excess of amounts accrued for the matter, the Company either discloses an estimate of such possible loss or range of loss or includes a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. As of October 31, 2017, the Company is party to legal proceedings and contingencies, the resolution of which is not expected to materially affect its financial condition, future results of operations beyond the amounts accrued, or cash flows.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES The Company recorded income tax expense of $7.5 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate was 30.1% and 31.5% for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in jurisdictional earnings and the impact of discrete items partially offset by no tax benefit being recognized on losses incurred by certain foreign operations. The Company recorded income tax expense of $10.3 million and $14.5 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate was 35.6% and 32.6% for the nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of discrete items mostly related to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” acquisition costs related to the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand (see Note 17 – Acquisitions for additional disclosures) and no tax benefit being recognized on losses incurred by certain foreign operations, partially offset by changes in jurisdictional earnings. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2017 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35.0% primarily due to changes in jurisdictional earnings and the impact of discrete items, partially offset by no tax benefit being recognized on losses incurred by certain foreign operations. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 31, 2017 also includes an increase primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09 and acquisition costs related to the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35.0% primarily as a result of changes in jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by no tax benefit being recognized on losses incurred by certain foreign operations.

Derivative Financial Instrument

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with the accounting 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 and, to a lesser extent, the Japanese Yen. The Company also sells to third-party customers in a variety of foreign currencies, most notably the Euro and the British Pound. The Company reduces its exposure to the Swiss franc, Euro, British Pound and Japanese Yen exchange rate risks 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, from time to time the Company uses forward contracts to further reduce the net exposures to currency fluctuations. Certain of these contracts meet the requirements of qualified hedges. In these circumstances, 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 hedges designated and documented as a cash flow hedge and which are 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 earnings impact is mostly offset by the effects of currency movements on the underlying hedged transactions. 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. The Company does not exclude any designated cash flow hedges from its effectiveness testing. 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. No ineffectiveness has been recorded in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company uses forward exchange contracts, which do not meet the requirements of qualified hedges, 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 earnings in the period they arise, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect resulting from the revaluation 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, 2017, the Company’s entire net forward contracts hedging portfolio consisted of 23.0 million Swiss francs equivalent, 12.8 million Euros equivalent and 11.3 million British Pounds equivalent , The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives (in thousands): Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Balance Sheet Location October 31, 2017 Fair Value January 31, 2017 Fair Value October 31, 2016 Fair Value Balance Sheet Location October 31, 2017 Fair Value January 31, 2017 Fair Value October 31, 2016 Fair Value Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign Exchange Contracts Other Current Assets $ — $ 145 $ 31 Accrued Liabilities $ 685 $ 211 $ 391 Total Derivative Instruments $ — $ 145 $ 31 $ 685 $ 211 $ 391 Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Balance Sheet Location October 31, 2017 Fair Value January 31, 2017 Fair Value October 31, 2016 Fair Value Balance Sheet Location October 31, 2017 Fair Value January 31, 2017 Fair Value October 31, 2016 Fair Value Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign Exchange Contracts Other Current Assets $ 67 $ — $ 110 Accrued Liabilities $ — $ — $ — Total Derivative Instruments $ 67 $ — $ 110 $ — $ — $ — As of October 31, 2017 and 2016, the balance of deferred net gains on derivative financial instruments documented as cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) were immaterial for both periods. The maximum length of time the Company hedges its exposure to the fluctuation in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 24 months. For the three months ended October 31, 2017, the Company reclassified from AOCI to earnings $0.4 million of net loss, net of tax benefit of $0.1 million. For the nine months ended October 31, 2017, the Company reclassified from AOCI to earnings $0.9 million of net loss, net of tax benefit of $0.2 million. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, the Company reclassified amounts from AOCI to earnings that were immaterial for both periods.

Treasury Stock	NOTE 13 – TREASURY STOCK On August 29, 2017, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. The Company may purchase shares of its common stock through open market purchases, repurchase plans, block trades or otherwise. This authorization expires on August 29, 2020. On March 31, 2016, the Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors. This program authorized the Company to purchase shares of its common stock through open market purchases, repurchase plans, block trades or otherwise. As of August 29, 2017, this program was canceled and a new share repurchase program was simultaneously approved. During the nine months ended October 31, 2017, under both the new and previously authorized repurchase plans, the Company repurchased a total of 120,507 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $3.0 million or an average cost of $24.93 per share, which included 20,000 shares repurchased from the Movado Group Foundation at a total cost of approximately $0.5 million or $22.90 average per share. During the nine months ended October 31, 2016, under the previously authorized repurchase plan, the Company repurchased a total of 137,499 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $3.3 million or an average cost of $23.73 per share, which included 15,000 shares repurchased from the Movado Group Foundation at a total cost of approximately $0.4 million or $27.67 average per share. There were 36,843 and 47,310 shares of common stock repurchased during the nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as a result of the surrender of shares in connection with the vesting of certain stock awards. At the election of an employee, shares having an aggregate value on the vesting date equal to the employee’s withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company to fund the payment of such taxes.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements	NOTE 14 – ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On January 26, 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value when calculating goodwill, essentially eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. The new standard requires goodwill impairment to be based upon the results of step one of the impairment test, which evaluates the extent, if any, by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, with any resulting impairment not exceeding the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 on a prospective basis during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 in light of goodwill in the period, associated with the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand (see Note 17 – Acquisitions). If the Company's goodwill becomes impaired, the adoption of ASU 2017-04 could make the impairment recorded materially different from what would have been recorded under the previous standard. On January 5, 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business. The objective of this ASU is to assist entities in determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-01 on a prospective basis during the second quarter of fiscal 2018, in connection with the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand (see Note 17 – Acquisitions). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. On March 30, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” On August 28, 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities,” which expands an entity’s ability to apply hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and allows for a simplified approach for fair value hedging of interest rate risk. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The new guidance also simplifies the hedge documentation and effectiveness assessment requirements. For public companies, the standard will be effective for the first interim reporting period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings as of the initial adoption date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On February 25, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This change is expected to increase both reported assets and liabilities. The new lease standard does not substantially change lessor accounting. For public companies, the standard will be effective for the first interim reporting period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they first apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures and will result in a material increase to the company’s total assets and liabilities through recognition of right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities. The Company is analyzing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including assessing changes that might be necessary to information technology systems, processes and internal controls to capture new data and address changes in financial reporting. On May 28, 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This pronouncement affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, FASB deferred the effective date of the guidance. The new revenue standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and allows either a full retrospective adoption to all periods presented or a modified retrospective adoption approach with the cumulative effect of initial application of the revised guidance recognized at the date of initial application. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On March 30, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Principal versus Agent Considerations),” to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. On April 14, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing),” to clarify the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. On May 9, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients),” to clarify the implementation guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. The Company is assessing the impact of the guidance by reviewing its existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify differences, if any, that will result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus agent considerations. The Company has elected to adopt the new standard under the Modified Retrospective approach and is considering whether it will apply certain of the practical expedients available under the new standard. The Company will continue evaluating the impact, if any, on changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new guidance. The Company expects to adopt the new guidance in the beginning of fiscal 2019.

Cost Savings Initiatives	NOTE 16 – COST SAVINGS INITIATIVES As a result of actions taken by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 to better align its global infrastructure with the current business environment by consolidating certain operations and streamlining functions to reduce costs and improve profitability, the Company recorded $6.3 million of pre-tax expenses primarily for severance and payroll related, other and occupancy charges, predominantly impacting the Company’s North American and Swiss operations. The Company recorded an additional $0.1 million of pre-tax expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 related to Other. In light of the changing retail landscape and the growing importance of digital marketing and online sales, the Company also decided in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, to cease its participation in the Baselworld Watch and Jewelry Show. As a result, the Company recorded charges for the write-off of certain fixed assets and other contract termination costs. The Company also wrote-off certain fixed assets related to the reduction of leased space in the Company’s Swiss operations. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded an additional $7.0 million of pre-tax expenses related to fixed assets, severance and payroll related and other. The Company expects the cost savings initiatives to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2018.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	NOTE 17 – ACQUISITIONS On July 3, 2017, the Company, through a wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary, acquired JLB Brands Ltd., the owner of the Olivia Burton brand, one of the United Kingdom’s fastest growing fashion watch and jewelry brands, for $78.2 million, or £60.0 million in cash, subject to working capital and other closing adjustments. After giving effect to the closing adjustments, the purchase price was $79.0 million, or £60.7 million, net of cash acquired of approximately $5.9 million, or £4.5 million. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries, and no debt was assumed in the acquisition. The acquisition adds a new brand with significant global growth potential to the Company’s portfolio. The results of the Olivia Burton brand’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition within the International location of the Wholesale segment. In the International location of the Wholesale segment, for the three months ended October 31, 2017, operating income included $1.4 million of expenses primarily related to the amortization of acquired assets, as a result of the Company’s acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand. In the United States and International locations of the Wholesale segment, for the nine months ended October 31, 2017, operating (loss) / income included $0.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of expenses primarily related to transaction costs and adjustments in acquisition accounting, as a result of the Company’s acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand. The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with FASB Topic ASC 805 (“Business Combinations”), which requires that the total cost of an acquisition be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the July 3, 2017 acquisition date (in thousands): Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,909 Trade receivables, net 3,106 Inventories 4,164 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 913 Property, plant and equipment, net 131 Goodwill 55,322 Trade name and other intangibles 21,415 Total assets acquired 90,960 Accounts payable 608 Accrued liabilities 844 Income taxes payable 643 Deferred and non-current income taxes payable 3,965 Total liabilities assumed 6,060 Total purchase price $ 84,900 Inventories include a step-up adjustment of approximately $0.8 million, which was expensed over the sell-through cycle of three months. The components of Trade name and other intangibles include a trade name of approximately $12.8 million (amortized over 10 years), and customer relationships of $8.6 million (amortized over 6 years). The Company recorded goodwill of $55.3 million based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The operating results of the Olivia Burton brand have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements beginning July 3, 2017. Net sales of the acquired Olivia Burton brand since the date of acquisition through October 31, 2017 were $12.1 million. The Olivia Burton brand’s operating income since the date of acquisition was $4.4 million, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses and expenses incurred in non-UK geographies to support the brand. The following table provides the Company’s unaudited pro forma net sales, net income and net income per basic and diluted common share as if the results of operations of the Olivia Burton brand had been included in the Company’s operations commencing on February 1, 2016, based on available information relating to operations of the Olivia Burton brand.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Intangibles	Intangibles In accordance with applicable guidance, the Company estimates and records the fair value of purchased intangible assets at the time of its acquisition, which in the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand primarily consist of a trade name and customer relationships. The fair values of these intangible assets are estimated based on independent third-party appraisals. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying values may not be fully recoverable. Estimates of fair value for finite-lived intangible assets are primarily determined using discounted cash flows, with consideration of market comparisons and recent transactions. This approach uses significant estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows, discount rates and growth rates.
Goodwill	Goodwill At the time of acquisition, in accordance with applicable guidance, the Company records all acquired net assets at their estimated fair values. These estimated fair values are based on management’s assessments and independent third-party appraisals. The excess of the purchase consideration over the aggregate estimated fair values of the acquired net assets is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but will be assessed for impairment at least annually. Under applicable guidance, the Company generally performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value, a quantitative test is performed. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (see Note 14 – Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements) on a prospective basis during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 in light of goodwill in the period, associated with the acquisition of the Olivia Burton brand. The quantitative impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The quantitative impairment test identifies the existence of potential impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company will record an impairment charge, as an operating expense item, based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Determination of the fair value of a reporting unit and the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit is based on management's assessment, including the consideration of independent third-party appraisals when necessary. Furthermore, this determination is subjective in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment charge is recognized and the amount of any such charge. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined using discounted cash flows, market comparisons, and recent transactions. These approaches use significant estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows, discount rates, growth rates, and determination of appropriate market comparisons.
