transparent caseback, illuminating Super-LumiNova markers, and teal rubber strap complete a timepiece crafted for a life in motion. Inside, the L35 is powered by a self-winding Swiss automatic movement (ETA 2892 A2), hand-finished with circular graining and Côtes de Genève decoration.

Crafted in Switzerland, every component is created to the very highest standard of watchmaking excellence. Inspired by the feeling and colors of the ocean, Marli’s signature teal embodies the brand’s spirit: fresh yet timeless, vibrant yet warm, bold yet effortlessly refined.

Marli Timepieces live at the intersection of New York’s energy and Switzerland’s precision, where the city’s bold, restless geometry meets the quiet mastery of Swiss watchmaking. Inspired by MARLI’s signature jewelry collections, the L35 reflects a deeper truth: that time is not something to be measured, but something to be lived.

Across all three references, the collection is defined by a single element: a three-dimensional pyramid tapisserie dial that translates Marli’s most iconic motif from the jeweler’s bench to the face of a timepiece.

Each dial is machined from solid natural mother-of-pearl – a soft organic material with a Mohs hardness of between 3 and 4 on the scale that runs from talc to diamond – and carved into a field of perfectly formed three-dimensional pyramids with crisp edges, precise geometry, and consistent depth across the entire surface.

Achieving pyramids with sharp, repeating, light-catching angles in this material, at dial scale and to watchmaking tolerances, required the development of a complete suite of bespoke industrial tooling. Three years of research and development. The details of this process remain closely guarded.

As the light changes, so does the surface: the pyramids catch and release it differently at every angle, so that the face of the timepiece is never the same twice. Hand heights have been slightly raised throughout the collection to preserve the sense of depth, ensuring the three-dimensional effect remains visible beneath the hands at all times.

The pyramid motif extends beyond the dial to the crown – set with four diamonds, shaped as a miniature pyramid on every reference – and, on the L35, to the rubber strap itself, embossed in relief with the same pattern. For the L35’s colored versions, mother-of-pearl is deposited onto a brass plate previously lacquered in color; the anthracite shade employs black mother-of-pearl.

Marli New York was born from the belief that fine jewelry is a language, and everyone deserves to speak it on their own terms. In 2014, Founder Maral Artinian had a vision: to set clients free from convention with creations that transcend adornment, and to honor individuality in all its forms.

The design language that grew from this vision is immediate and consistent: clean geometry, angular forms, a visual vocabulary rooted in architectural precision. These are not aesthetic choices made in isolation – they are the expression of a way of thinking about objects, about how they are read, and about what it means for something to feel both strong and effortless on the body. New York, where MARLI was founded, gave this instinct its sharpest edge: a city whose confidence and clarity of line are present in everything the brand makes.

Marli’s pieces are architectural in spirit, but they are made to move through real life. They are designed to be stacked, layered, worn without ceremony – to become part of the daily gesture rather than interrupt it. That ease is not accidental: it is the result of a design process that begins with the wearer, and a manufacturing standard that ensures nothing is compromised in the making.

Marli has always been more than a creative proposition. Behind it stands the Artinian Group– a vertically integrated luxury group founded and led by Arto Artinian (Chairman & CEO) and Saro Artinian (President & COO), with close to three decades of experience in jewelry design, manufacturing, and diamond trading. It is this foundation – deep expertise, integrated manufacturing, and an approach to materials that admits no compromise – that has allowed Marli to evolve as it has.

The group operates three centers of expertise. In Antwerp, a diamond trading office ensures full control over the quality and provenance of every stone – from the smallest melee diamond to the most exceptional solitaire. No stone is purchased without first being seen, touched, and understood.

In Bangkok, an atelier of 800 artisans produces the jewelry and high jewelry creations of the group’s brands, supported by the Artinian Atelier Academy – a specialist training program built around a rigorous Learn–Practice–Work curriculum of 1,000 hours. And in Le Locle – the historic cradle of Swiss watchmaking and a UNESCO World Heritage site – Marli’s own manufacture, PreciTech SA, brings the same standards of precision and uncompromising finish to the architecture of the timepiece that the group has long applied to the architecture of the jewel.

Since the nineteenth century, Le Locle has been one of the historic centers of the Swiss watch industry. The town’s very urban fabric was shaped by the demands of the craft: its streets are wide, designed to maximize sunlight; its buildings feature large windows to bring natural light to the watchmakers assembling minuscule components at their benches. This unique urban architecture has earned Le Locle a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is here that Marli has its manufacture.

With the sole exception of the Swiss movements, every component of every Marli timepiece is produced at PreciTech SA in Le Locle. Bridges, plates, gear trains, clasps, pushers, lugs, case fittings, middle cases, inner and outer bezels, casebacks, crowns, screws, oscillating weights, metal bracelet elements, inserts. Every finishing operation: polishing, satin finishing, microbead blasting, straight-graining. A dedicated team handles the assembly and welding of metal bracelet components; another is devoted to gem-setting. After passing through every stage of production and decoration, each Marli timepiece is cased up, then inspected and certified at the manufacture before leaving Le Locle.

Marli’s manufacture – four buildings, 6,000 m², in the heart of Le Locle – occupies the former production facilities of Renaud Papi.
