The Evolution of MARLI into Swiss Watchmaking
Twelve years after establishing itself as one of New York’s most distinctive contemporary jewellery maisons, MARLI introduces its inaugural timepiece collection at Geneva 2026. Rather than representing a departure from jewellery, the collection extends MARLI’s design philosophy into watchmaking, combining architectural precision, refined materials and Swiss manufacturing expertise into a cohesive horological identity. Backed by the Artinian Group’s vertically integrated luxury infrastructure spanning Antwerp, Bangkok, New York and Le Locle, MARLI enters watchmaking with full control over design, gem-setting, manufacturing and finishing standards.
The Inaugural MARLI Timepiece Collection
The collection debuts with three references:
L23
L30
L35
Each model interprets MARLI’s visual identity through distinct proportions and personalities while maintaining a unified aesthetic language rooted in geometry, clarity and craftsmanship.
L23 & L30 — jewellery-Inspired Timekeeping
Sculptural Elegance on the Wrist
The L23 and L30 references reinterpret the concept of the luxury jewellery watch through a contemporary lens.
Crafted in:
18K Rose Gold
18K White Gold
Stainless Steel
the watches feature rounded case architecture paired with diamond-set scalloped bezels that balance softness with architectural structure. Both references are powered by Swiss quartz movements and feature MARLI’s signature pyramid motif integrated throughout the design.
The Signature Pyramid Dial
The defining element of the collection is the three-dimensional pyramid tapisserie dial. Machined from natural mother-of-pearl, each dial required three years of research and development to achieve:
Crisp geometry
Precise pyramid structures
Consistent dimensional depth
Light-reflective surfaces
As lighting conditions shift, the dial transforms dynamically, creating continuously changing reflections across the wrist.
Diamond Expertise
Every stone used throughout the collection adheres to EF VS diamond grading standards, reflecting the Artinian Group’s longstanding expertise in diamond selection and high jewellery craftsmanship.
Highlights include:
36 brilliant-cut bezel diamonds
Pyramid-set crown with four diamonds
High jewellery pavé editions featuring over 400 diamonds
Bracelet & Strap Configurations
The L23 and L30 are available with:
Satin straps in multiple colors
Alligator leather straps
Architectural gold bracelets inspired by Manhattan’s grid structure
The bracelet construction combines:
Satin finishing
Polishing
Microbead blasting
Anglage finishing
to create a structured textile-like appearance in precious metal.
L35 — Architectural Watchmaking Expression
A Sculptural Contemporary Design
The L35 takes a more technical and architectural approach.
Available in:
Rose Gold
Titanium
The 35mm case incorporates a multi-layer sandwich construction integrating high-technical resin to reduce overall weight while enhancing visual depth. The faceted bezel redirects light dynamically across the watch surface, reinforcing MARLI’s geometric design language.
The Future of MARLI Timepieces
The inaugural collection positions MARLI within a growing category of contemporary luxury maisons, bridging:
High jewelry
Swiss horology
Architectural design
Technical manufacturing
Through the L23, L30 and L35, MARLI establishes a distinct watchmaking identity rooted equally in craftsmanship, modern aesthetics and material sophistication.
