Jack and his wife, Rita, who grew up in Geneva, moved to Panama in the 1970's to help run the family business as well as to begin their own family.  While there, Jack's watches garnered great attention from the Latin American market because of their innovative designs. After several years in Panama, Jack and Rita moved their two young children, Jeremy and Michele, to Miami, where they started Michele Watches, named for their daughter. The very first Michele Watch, the CSX Diamond, was just the beginning of many more collections to come.

Today, Michele Watches is a $50 million business which has become part of Fossil. Fossil is a global leader in the fashion watch market with a proven track record of attracting and expanding brands. Jack Barouh made the decision in 2004 to merge his company with Fossil in order to give Michele Watches an even greater position of strength in the global watch industry. However, despite being part of a large, publicly-traded company, Michele Watches still operates as a family business, with the design and business decisions made by the Barouh family in partnership with Fossil.
