Founded in 1850 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Marvin Watch Company built its reputation on quality craftsmanship and accessible Swiss design. By the mid-20th century, Marvin had become known for its stylish yet robust timepieces, often powered by in-house movements. The brand even collaborated with military contracts and produced tool watches alongside elegant dress models. With a legacy of blending technical reliability and aesthetic charm, Marvin watches remain an under-the-radar gem for collectors of vintage Swiss horology.

What's on Offer

We are delighted offer this beautiful vintage Marvin watch for sale in new old stock condition. With a very definite nod to Art Deco, this tank design with beautiful dramatic teardrop sculpted lugs is offered for sale with its original box and even an original strap label as illustrated. The beautiful ecru dial has a two-tone stepped design with a central square, Arabic numerals, and a charming recessed sub-seconds at 6 o’clock. Slim hands and applied dot minute track add elegance. Powered by the manual-wind Calibre 520 with 17 jewels, it wears beautifully on its red leather strap. This is a great buy - a beautiful and unusual piece.
