SOME HISTORY OF MARVIN…
In 1850, the brothers Marc and Emmanuel Didisheim created a watch company in Saint- Imier in the Bernese Jura.Thanks to the quality of its products and the dynamic nature of its distribution, the company experienced rapid growth.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the brand adopted the name “Marvin” after one of its American partners – a pocketwatch enthusiast. It took as its symbol a three-pointed crown, representing an inverted letter ’M’ and the ’W’ for watch.
After conquering America, Marvin emerged as a point of reference among Swiss brands in more than 70 countries. Over time, it has produced millions of watches including models that have become genuine collector’s items.
For the four generations of Didisheims who have succeeded one another at the company’s helm, the main goal hasalways been to offer quality products. Early on, the movements manufactured by Marvin acquired an outstanding reputation and were sought
by other leading brands to equip their designs. Marvin was also hired to produce an officialwatch line for airline companies such as KLM and Air France.
In a constant quest to improve the quality of their products, the Didisheim brothers were often pioneers, developing numerous patented systems.
Marvin also builds its success on the aesthetics of its products – a style both simple and refined, always ahead of emerging trends. This creativity, combined with the quality of its products, has earned the brand popular support from numerous celebrities, including motor-racing drivers Ascari, Stirling Moss and the renowned Fangio, Che and Marylin Monroe.
In the 1970s with the expansion of quartz movements, Marvin joined a powerful watchmaking group, the Manufacture Suisse Réunie (M.S.R), which encompassed other reputable brands.
In 2002, it reclaimed its independence under the leadership of a group of passionate individuals, determined to reignite the brand’s brilliance and dynamism.
