A bold 1970s Swiss automatic from Nino. The champagne dial is signed Nino with its crown-like emblem and "Crystal" in script, and is ringed by a silver and gold-tone minute track with alternating blue and silver applied baton markers. A framed day-date window sits at 3 o'clock, with silver baton hands and centre seconds.
The 38mm cushion-shaped stainless-steel case has a gold-tone bezel ring and a screw-down caseback signed Nino Swiss, All Stainless Steel, Automatic, Water Resistant. Inside is a Swiss automatic movement with 25 jewels, signed Nino, shown in the photos. It comes on a one-piece stainless-steel bracelet.
Brand heritage
Montres Nino SA was a Swiss watch company that opened at the end of the 1960s. It designed its own watches and fitted them with movements from other Swiss makers. Nino's life was short: the arrival of inexpensive quartz watches hit Swiss mechanical producers hard, and the company had closed by the early 1980s, which makes its watches comparatively scarce today.
