Heritage

A Century Of Small Decisions

No shortcuts, no outsourced finishing, and no more watches per year than can be made properly.

“A movement is finished when there is nothing left to remove, not when there is nothing left to add.”

Workshop Doctrine

Since Generations

The Art of Horology

Every timepiece we offer is the result of centuries of watchmaking heritage — hand-finished movements, meticulously selected materials, and an obsession with detail that borders on devotion.

Milestones

The Long Way Round

1912

A Workshop Above The Lake

Founded in a single room in the Vallée de Joux, the workshop began by regulating movements for other houses before signing its own dials.

1948

The First Calibre

A hand-wound calibre of thirty-one jewels, still the architectural basis of the movements fitted to the dress collection today.

1969

Into The Water

Commissioned by a diving school, the first Marlin case was tested to two hundred metres and returned without a trace of moisture.

Today

One Watchmaker, One Watch

Every timepiece is assembled, adjusted and cased by a single watchmaker, whose mark is recorded on the certificate accompanying it.
