Nivada Grenchen

Nivada Grenchen timepieces have been in the watchmaking industry since 1926, the year when Jacob Schneider first created it in Granges (Grenchen). In 1930, Nivada Grenchen was one of the first companies to manufacture automatic watches. This led to the creation of Nivada Grenchen’s first waterproof automatic watch called the Antarctic in 1950. The watch was worn by the members of the American Navy’s Deep Freeze 1 during their expedition to the South Pole from 1955 to 1956.

In 2018, the Nivada Grenchen brand was rebirthed with its two iconic models at the forefront–the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver and the Antarctic. The use of modern movements on these vintage watch recreations is paying homage to the legacy of the Nivada Grenchen watches, at the same time, staying true to its precision quality.
