There are many Swiss watch brands that are essentially lost to history. When the industry was turned upside down by the quartz crisis, many brands folded and were never heard from again. A rare few, because of good design, watches with unique features, or just dumb luck, have risen in the public consciousness after going silent thanks to the whims of the vintage market. Nivada Grenchen is one of those brands. While the brand has been largely dormant for years, vintage Nivadas have proven to be popular with collectors, keeping the name of the Swiss house on the mind of watch lovers. Now the brand is relaunching, with a focus on the styles that kept them in the mix for all these years.
