I have been into watches since I was 14 years old and 40 years later they still intrigue me.

As a young man, even without being able to own anything of any notoriety or prestige, it did not matter.

without the internet, I could go to the library and fill the back seat of a car with books about watches. :)

And to this day, I am grateful that the intrigue never ends!

There have been infinite brands that have produced watches under the Swiss Made banner.

From dollar store pin levers to the finest escapements and complications available today, there are just certain obscure brands from history, that either dissappeared completely or are just not available in every market.

One such brand that I always liked was Marvin. I felt that they always had a classic look and decent quality when it came to their movements.

Below, I posted a pic of a current model, the Malton Round M116 with Power Reserve.

I think that they kept true to their classic look on the dial (pictured), but added a touch of modern in the recessed sides of the case.(Not pictured)

Powered by a slightly modified ETA 2897 and exhibition back. I think they offer some real value at retail in the low $2000's.

Give me some other obscure brands that are missing the love!

As a dealer, this is one of the better ways to minimize your cost and possibly increase your return.
