So the don't own the original name, they own the name used in the USA. 1960s Vintage Rare Nivada Gretchen Antarctic GMT Diver Automatic Watch. So they bought in 2018 from Nivada (mexican brand) the rights to use the name Nivada Grenchen which was used in the USA by Nivada. The Nivada brand watches were sold in the USA under the name of the importer Croton as 'Croton Nivada', 'Croton Nivada Grenchen' or 'Croton'. ''''Presumably because of the phonetic similarity of the “Nivada” and “Movado” brands (also criticized by the US Patent Office), Nivada later (documented in an agreement with Movado in 1939, see below) added the information about the company location to make it easier to distinguish between the two brands the watches were - at least in the USA - marked with 'Nivada Grenchen'. With the name and the ownership is a turn off for me.let me guys know what you think, maybe someone can give us more informationĬlick to expand.I researched more and I would like to add somethig: Maybe I am overthinking the whole thing and I should just get the watch (which I think will look amazing), but I feel like the whole uncertainty Like I wonder what percentage of the watch is made there in his workshops in HK or Shenzhen. Nothing, but I feel like it gives his other Swiss more expensive brands a bad look somehow, or what do you guys think?

Is also the owner of Nivada Grenchen and Excelsior Park and it seems he is the man behind many 'I don't know what

So another name here is Remi Chabrat the CEO of the Montrichard Group ( Youtube), so this guy resides in Hong Kong and he 1985 in the past (a kickstarter micro brand) and sold it later. Nivada Grenchen is owned by Guillaume Laidet, the same guy who owns Excelsior Park and now works with Vulcain? With the name? I tried to research and I understood nothing even the Nivada Grenchen website is unclear about it.even their instagram is called Nivada watches. So my first question is what is exactly going on here

takes you to a cheap looking website that sells what is probably Chinese made watches.
