Celebrating the future with retro-innovation

The F77 Stone Dials Collection

There’s no time like the present – Nivada Grenchen veers off its classic vintage path with the reinvention of its best-selling 70s stainless steel icon, opting instead for the enhanced lightness and comfort of titanium grade 5; 86 grams for titanium versus 126 grams for steel. The shift came so naturally, it makes you wonder if it was intended all along.

But there’s more: a series of superb dials, from a reinterpretation of the iconic basket weave to exotic stones from deep earth and deep space. In all, Nivada Grenchen is proud to present four new iterations – uncannily lightweight, robust and great-looking – of the iconic design in a 37 mm case with an integrated bracelet.

Four Dials – 4 Materials

Mythical Dials

Enhanced with a fragment of material from space, the F77 with a meteorite dial carries an air of eternity. Its metallic grey geometric patterns and texture effects – reminiscent of French painter Pierre Soulages’s style – evoke an aesthetic emotion, an energy that is more than special. Indeed, it makes each watch unique, as no two dial patterns are alike.

The latter, lapis lazuli, is an intensely blue ornamental stone composed of several minerals, a testament to the complex and dynamic processes that occur across the ages within Earth’s crust. It, too, has spanned epochs without losing its splendor, from mosaics to decorative arts.

The aventurine version remind us of the treasures right under our feet – while hinting at the heavens above. The former, of the deepest green, created in a process of crystallization over eons and eons, gives us a distinctive, shimmering effect – its name comes from the Italian ‘a ventura,’ which means ‘by chance,’ but that’s a whole other story.

The F77 ‘Anthracite’ embodies the spirit of the original, the lighter, advanced material of its case and bracelet perfectly paired with the deep and moody color of its dial, slightly lighter than black, with cool undertones of blue and purple.

Titanium Grade 5

Renowned for its exceptional strength and lightweight properties, Titanium Grade 5 sets the standard for durability and comfort in watchmaking. With a composition of approximately 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium, this alloy offers unparalleled performance and resilience.
