About the Item
Vintage Marvin 14K Gold Square Wristwatch, circa 1940s – Swiss Precision in Art Deco EleganceStep into the golden age of horology with this rare Marvin square wristwatch, a masterpiece of mid-century Art Deco design from the renowned Swiss maison Marvin Watch Co. Crafted in solid 14K rose gold, the tonneau-shaped case measures approximately 26mm x 26mm, exuding understated sophistication with its stepped lugs and polished bezel that catches the light like a whispered secret. The signed dial, in pristine silvered finish, features bold black Roman numerals, Breguet-style hands, and a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o'clock—subtle yet commanding, powered by the iconic manual-wind Caliber 1540 movement visible through the exhibition case back.Glistening with 17 jewels and meticulously adjusted for precision, this timepiece hums with the reliability of Swiss engineering, its balance wheel etched with the Marvin insignia. The original black lizard leather strap (Eterna-signed) wraps comfortably around the wrist, secured by a gold buckle that complements the warm patina of age. Serial numbers (case: 0520146; movement: KXC-540 confirm its authenticity and era, a testament to post-war craftsmanship when Marvin rivaled the greats like Patek Philippe in innovation and style.Fully serviced and running strong, this collector's gem is more than a watch—it's a portal to an era of quiet luxury. Ideal for the discerning aficionado seeking wearable history.
