Brand heritage

Nino was a small Swiss-movement label of the 1970s, the most colourful decade in watch design, when bold gradient dials broke with the plain silver dials of earlier years. Like many small independent labels of the post-war decades, it built its watches around movements supplied by specialist Swiss makers and sold them mainly through export distributors. Little documented history of the brand survives today, and most such names disappeared during the quartz crisis of the 1970s and 1980s, which makes surviving examples an honest, affordable corner of vintage collecting.
