Kate Spade New York has entered into a new global licensing partnership with Movado Group to expand its presence in the watch segment, with the first collection under the collaboration scheduled to debut in Spring 2027.
Effective 1 July, Movado Group has assumed responsibility for the design, manufacturing and worldwide distribution of Kate Spade New York watches. The partnership aims to blend Kate Spade’s signature fashion identity with Movado’s expertise in creating and marketing internationally recognized timepiece brands.
The upcoming collection will showcase several of Kate Spade’s iconic design signatures, including the spade heart, spade flower motif, and scalloped detailing. Inspired by the brand’s playful yet sophisticated style, the watches will feature premium elements such as mother-of-pearl dials, crystal hour markers, metallic finishes, textured surfaces, signature prints and leather straps crafted from Kate Spade leather.
The collection is expected to be priced between $148 and $298 and will be available through select department stores, specialty retailers and online platforms across global markets beginning in Spring 2027.
Kate Spade New York said the collaboration represents an important step in strengthening its accessories portfolio, while Movado Group highlighted the opportunity to bring the brand’s distinctive design language to a broader international audience through stylish and contemporary timepieces.
Alongside the licensing announcement, Kate Spade New York also confirmed the appointment of Jonathan Saunders as its new Executive Creative Director, effective 26 August, as the fashion brand continues to shape its next phase of creative and commercial growth.
