Two riveting timepiece reveals from Nivada Grenchen and J.N. Shapiro have caught the watch world’s attention.

In the vibrant world of horology, Nivada Grenchen and J.N. Shapiro have recently unveiled some electrifying timepiece marvels. Both watchmakers are renowned for creating arresting timepieces, and their latest releases only consolidate their supremacy in the industry.

In an exciting move, Nivada Grenchen has resurrected an extraordinary vintage chronograph movement, the Valjoux 23 VZ, and featured it in two limited edition models of the iconic Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver. The movement has been refurbished to meet modern standards yet retains its vintage core. Available in silver sub-dial versions with distinct features like a red regatta countdown track and the luminous broad arrow hands, these timepieces blend modern qualia and vintage sentiment, all contained in a stainless steel case.

On the other end of the spectrum, J.N. Shapiro has also played a captivating hand with their new Infinity Series Pure. Light on the wrist yet heavy on sophistication, this timepiece presents the brand’s signature guilloché and three-dimensional handsets nested inside their thinnest and smallest case yet. The Infinity Series Pure comes in two variations: one with white gold hands on a blackened zirconium dial and the other with rose gold hands on a frosted silver dial, presenting a more accessible entry point into the brand without losing an iota of its luxury.

New delights in timekeeping are always thrilling and the anticipation of seeing these timepieces ticking on the wrists of horology enthusiasts around the globe is hard to curb.

Stay in tune with time, trend, and tradition as watchmakers continue their passionate quest to serve you with art that ticks.
