From Switzerland to San Francisco
NIVADA GRENCHEN Watches at Clicky Bezel
Tool Watches with a Past
Nivada Grenchen is a revived Swiss brand with real history. Known for bold chronographs and sporty divers throughout the 20th century, their original catalog went quiet after the quartz crisis. Today, the brand is back, faithfully recreating vintage models with modern reliability and updated materials. From the Chronomaster to the Antarctic and F77, these watches wear like the past but hold up like the present.
At Clicky Bezel, we're proud to be one of the few authorized retailers in North America where you can see Nivada Grenchen watches in person. If you’ve been curious about how these vintage-inspired pieces wear on the wrist, our San Francisco store is the place to try them for yourself.
Why We Chose Nivada Grenchen
Nivada was brought back to life not by a marketing firm, but by enthusiasts who respected the brand’s legacy. The revival stood out for its authenticity and attention to detail.
The first in-person experience with the Chronomaster confirmed what the photos suggested. These are well-executed watches that carry the character of the originals without trying too hard.
It felt like a brand that belonged in the shop.
What Makes Nivada Grenchen Different
Every model in the lineup is rooted in Nivada’s historic catalog, updated with reliable movements and improved materials. The designs remain true to their original proportions, giving each watch an honest vintage feel.
A Personal Note From Chris
These were the kind of watches I kept seeing in the background of my feed. At first I didn’t think much of it, but they stuck with me. Nivada is a real enthusiast’s brand. It may not be your first watch, but once you're deep enough into the hobby, it shows up.
Wearing one feels like having a piece of Swiss watch history on your wrist. Only this time, it's sturdier and more capable than the originals ever were.
