MVMT, got their start 6 years ago, in June of 2013. A brand started by two college-aged guys from Southern California, Jake Kassan and Kramar LaPlante. But amidst their growth from 0 to 100 million dollars in just 5 years, and being acquired by the long-standing player in the industry, Movado, the criticism rose alongside the sales, making them one of the most controversial consumer brands in the world. In this video, we address the controversy head-on, with a trip to MVMT's world headquarters.
Spoiler alert: The GF shows up towards the end of the video.
The owner (Jake) keeps referencing Miyota movements. I can find $25.00 watches using the same movement in SS all day long with Miyota quartz movements. Trying to say the low prices are not from authorized dealers on watches like Seiko 5 automatic watches is a joke.
