Brand heritage

Nivada Grenchen was founded in Grenchen, Switzerland, in 1879 by Jacob Schneider and grew into a respected maker of reliable, legible watches after the Second World War, until the quartz crisis.

The Compensamatic line is associated with Nivada's emphasis on accuracy, using a temperature-compensating balance to reduce timing deviations from heat and cold.
