Marvin Malton 160 Cushion Khaki Watch

Green is really in this year. Good for military inspired watches, as well as those that wish to signal a season of fresh birth for the watch industry (something that timepiece makers need). This charming fellow is the green khaki model in the new Marvin Malton 160 Cushion watch collection. The well-designed new collection has a cushion shaped case that is 42mm wide in steel. Mostly retro-sporty in design, there are a number of dials and versions available. The Malton 160 Cushion Khaki offers up the piece with a khaki green textured dial and perforated leather strap.

Unless you really can't see yourself wearing green, this is a very handsome timepiece that I think will appeal to both men and women (even if the size is too large for many women's wrists). A nice standout piece from an already highly competent collection. Inside is a Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement and price is gonna be in the $1,000 - $1,500 range.

Marvin M114 Collection Watches

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

New for the holiday season from Marvin watches is the M114 collection of watches. Pictured is the PVD pink gold version, while a steel case version (with a white or black dial) is also available. The watch takes the curious shape of the Marvin M014 watch and adds an open face dial with a view of the Sellita SW 200 automatic mechanical movement's escapement. The top and bottom of the dial are decorated in a nifty checkered pattern, while the M114 has an interesting take on a large subsidiary seconds dial. It actually uses a centrally mounted seconds hand to beguile the wearer into thinking the watch has a unique half circle subsidiary seconds dial creating a really interesting perspective.

As rectangular watches go, the M114 is a good mix of style and legibility. You also see signature Marvin touches such as the red color applied to the 8 o'clock hour indicator and the black with red back (not seen in this image) leather strap. The various red tones on the watch do spice it up a bit. The watch case has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 50 meters. Size is quite wearable at 38mm wide and 50mm tall. All Marvin watches carry a two year warranty. Prices are 890 euros for the steel version, and 990 euros for the PVD pink gold version. Marvin watches aren't available in the US yet, so for now you'll need to find them in Europe or elsewhere.
