For this new collaboration with Nivada Grenchen, the brand founded in 1926 that has been living a second youth since 2018, the disruptive element is called Romaric André, the hyper-creative man behind seconde/seconde, whose talent has given birth to the Chaosmaster, a limited edition declined in three variations, each available in 33 pieces, and sold exclusively on the e-shop of the media specialized in watch content Time & Tide. However, although it is sometimes born from a grain of sand in the wheels of life, chaos can sometimes be a good thing, allowing to put in perspective a different and playful vision. This is how the Canbridge Dictionary defines the word “chaos” which itself describes quite well the emotions felt facing the events that occurred during the year. “A state of total confusion with no order”. Five modern Chronomasters are now available in the Shop.THE BEAUTY OF CHAOS For this trio of limited editions sold only online, the watch brand, which is enjoying a second youth, called on the talent of the very creative Romaric André to add his unparalleled touch to the dial of a legendary model. That's where the "Aviator Sea Diver" comes into play on the dial and can come to play on your wrist if you head over to the Shop. Guillaume Laidet, a watch industry veteran, announced plans to revive the Nivada Grenchen brand last summer. Altogether, I'm a big fan of these Chronomasters I like how they were marketed as basically a do-it-all watch, perfect for diving, flying, racing, etc. It really looks like it lived a life – the once black bezel has gained to a greenish hue, depending on the light. However, the feature that sticks out to me the most is the bezel. I really love how the lume has aged on the dial and on the broad-arrow-style hands. The watch we have today is in overall beautiful, honest condition and has developed a great patina on the dial and bezel. These early ones say "Chronograph Aviator Sea Diver'' on the dial, yet the same model would later read "Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver," so it's pretty cool to play with the OG. I'm particularly excited about the example we are offering today, because it's from the first run of the Chronomaster that came out in the early 1960s, which featured the Venus 210 movement.
