Catalogue Essay
Established in 1932, G. Gagnebin & Cie produced under the NIGA name some unusual chronographs using Valjoux movements, as well as movements by Landeron, AS, and Felsa.
'New Old Stock’ is a phrase is often overused, but with this watch as an example it is highly accurate. From the steel case with its original brushed finish and sharp angles, to its untouched dial and original strap, this watch is a rare find considering over 70 years have passed since its manufacture.
