Marvin is an ancient brand dating back to 1850. It took the owners Marc and Emmanuel Didisheim another 43 years to officially registered the Marvin brand in 1893. The registration actually reads: ‘The Marvin Watch’ named after a wealthy American watch collector called Mr. Marvin, who was a huge fan, and very frequent buyer of their watches. The Marvin dates from the Art Deco period, the watch is sleek, smooth, and crisp with slightly sharp edges indicating it is in a superb unpolished condition. The case measures 40 mm long including the lugs, by 22 mm wide, which is a good gentleman’s size watch, even to today’s standards. The rectangular stainless-steel alloy case is signed ‘Staybrite’ on the inside, and signed ‘Everwhite’ on the outside, only done to confuse you ツ The sides and back of the case have a fine brushed surface, the rest of the case is glossy. The watch has the initials HL engraved on the back, it has been carried out with precision, and does not detract from the worth of the watch, rather the contrary it has given it more character, as the formal owner has clearly cherished the watch and kept it safe from damage. The dial is two-toned, separated by an ultra-fine line. The 12,3,6,9-hour numbers are full size, while the other hour numbers are slightly smaller and stretched. The watch hands are a beautiful shape, and definitely influenced by the Art Deco period. The watch hands are made of blue steeled which creates such stunning blue shades. The in-house high quality Marvin manual wind Swiss movement caliber 300 dates from 1936 according to the Classification Horlogère. Marvin is an underestimated watch brand that offers superb quality watches, but as with many things people tend to follow in the footsteps of others.
They are missing out on some real beauties, such as this sophisticated, timeless style watch.
