Brand heritage

Nino was one of the many small independent Swiss watch brands of the post-war decades. Labels like this did not make their own movements; they bought proven calibres from the specialist Swiss movement makers, cased them under their own name and sold them mainly through export distributors. Few company records survive, and many such brands disappeared during the quartz crisis of the 1970s, which is why signed examples in working order are an interesting find for collectors today.
