BRAND STORY

Marcel Benoit was born 1898 in a small village called ‘Romont’.

Although he studied painting during his academic career, he was always fascinated by mechanical watches. The harmonic relationship between art and mechanics was exactly the right combination, which he had missed in painting. Marcel Benoit had the idea that people might use a watch to keep special moments of their life. In 1938, Marcel Benoit founded his first own company Marcel Benoit S.A  In Biel/Bienne, which is an innovative watchmaking center in Switzerland, Where well-known Swiss watch companies have been established and world brands gained fame.

The start of Marben

1945, Marcel Benoit created the brand Marben. The representative brand name Marben derives from the first three letters of the founder’s first and family name.

2 years later, Marcel Benoit S.A. registered Marben as a brand name in Switzerland, whereas the international registration followed in 1949.

In 1950 a men’s watch with the brand name Marben on the dial was advertised for the first time and right below on the advertising poster the company Marcel Benoit S.A. is shown as well.
