Headlines Tue, 30 Nov 2010 15:57:00 +0100 Marvin reveals LOEB Special Edition http://www.marvinwatches.com/ Marvin Watches revealed in Paris its new collection developed as a Special Edition in partnership... Special Edition in partnership with its ambassador, Sébastien Loeb. Two exclusive chronographs have been developed together with this outstanding French driver and they both proudly carry his signature. Their design is the work of two creative watchmakers: Jean-François Ruchonnet  best known for the TAG Heuer Monaco V4  and the Cabestan  and Sébastien Perret, the Neuchâtel designer who has been associated with all recent Marvin collections.

The new Loeb Special Edition from Marvin evokes the world of rallying in its smallest details thanks to contributions made by Sébastien Loeb himself, who was directly involved with the project. The 44 mm diameter steel case with its shaped sides gives it a strongly technical, dynamic appearance. An exclusive innovation: the flexible horns mounted on spring suspensions coloured red. This is a reference to the critical importance of suspension systems in rally cars, and it allows the watch to adjust perfectly to the wrist. Several other elements are directly inspired by competition rallying: the chronograph buttons coated in black PVD that resemble gear change paddles, the shaped counters designed like dashboard instruments, the dial composed of riveted plates on different levels and the openwork hands that suggest a rally car's reinforcing bars.

The new Loeb Special Edition from Marvin is offered in two versions: a mechanical, automatic-rewinding chronograph, Valjoux 7750, in a Limited Edition of 777 pieces, and a quartz chronograph accurate to 1/10th of a second.  The quartz version carries the Sébastien Loeb signature on the dial at 4 and engraved on the caseback with the inscription, “World Rally Champion”. The automatic version has the signature engraved on the sapphire crystal of the transparent caseback which reveals the mechanical movement and its rotor in the Marvin colours.
 
The Marvin Ambassador, Sébastien Loeb, 36, is widely agreed to be the greatest rally driver of all time. He was crowned World Champion for the seventh consecutive year since 2004  an unprecedented achievement in this sport. The collection that carries his name is a reflection of Marvin's long-standing passion for the car. In the 1930s the brand launched the "Tyre watch" a pocket watch set inside a rubber tyre. In the 1950s, Pierre Didisheim the great grandson of the founder, took part in several races, driving a car in the Marvin colours. At the 1950 Swiss Grand Prix in Berne he met the famous Argentinean driver Juan-Manuel Fangio who visited the Manufacture four years later with a Marvin watch on his wrist. A famous Swiss driver, Emmanuel "Tulo" de Graffenried, also became a Marvin ambassador.
