Brand
History
 Brothers Marc and Emmanuel
Didisheim create their watch-making company in 1850 and base
it in St-Imier, in the Jura section of Switzerland. The company
experiences quick and significant growth based on product quality
and extensive distribution networks.
In the early 20th century, the company takes up the name ﾒMarvinﾓ,
honoring its largest American partner. It also establishes the
three-pointed crown as its corporate logo symbolizing both the
inverted ﾒMﾓ of Marvin and the ﾒWﾓ of watch.
After taking the USA by storm, Marvin takes top billing among
Swiss watch brands in over sixty countries worldwide. Over time,
millions of watches are produced including several well known
collector classics.
Marvin components were considered so reliable, that even other
brands licensed them internally. Movie stars, politicians and
racing legends all wore Marvin watches at one point in time.
And Marvin also produced official corporate pieces for Air France,
KLM, Ferrari, Mercedes, Jaguar, MG, Chevrolet and Rover.
Over time, four generations of Didisheims have taken the helm
at Marvin, succeeding one another. And while Marvin has always
embraced change, the same vision of authenticity, originality,
detail, and quality has driven the company and its people for
over 160 years until today.
