Explore the Nivada Grenchen F77 MKII 100 Years collection, created to mark a century of Swiss watchmaking with a series of natural stone dials.
The 38mm integrated-steel F77 is offered in Labradorite, Jade, Azurite, Shungite Black, Smoky Quartz and Black Opal, alongside the special Ice Agate, with the natural stone dials ensuring that no two watches are exactly alike.
Each model is powered by the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, offering a 68-hour power reserve and visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback.

A New Chapter for the F77
Natural Stone, Individually Applied
Each F77 dial is cut from natural stone and individually applied, so the veining, colour and pattern will vary from one watch to the next, and no two dials will ever be exactly the same.
100 Years of Nivada Grenchen
Founded in Grenchen in 1926, Nivada marks a century of Swiss watchmaking with an F77 that looks forward as much as it looks back. The familiar integrated design is joined by new materials and mechanics for the brand’s 100th year.
Powered by La Joux-Perret
Inside is the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, bringing 68 hours of power reserve, 4Hz frequency and 24 jewels to the F77. Visible through the sapphire caseback, it represents one of the most significant mechanical upgrades the collection has received.

Who Are La Joux-Perret?
Based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Manufacture La Joux-Perret is a Swiss movement specialist involved across the production process, from development and component manufacture through to decoration, assembly and testing. Nivada describes the company as bringing together more than 120 specialists within a highly integrated manufacturing operation.
The G101 is its dedicated no-date automatic calibre. At 25.6mm across and 4.45mm thick, it has deliberately been developed with dimensional compatibility to familiar Swiss movements such as the ETA 2824 and Sellita SW200, but extends the reserve to 68 hours while retaining a 4Hz frequency and stop-seconds function.
Nivada has also made the movement worth looking at. Through the exhibition caseback you can see a striped rotor carrying the Nivada Grenchen name in gold, with further decorative finishing visible beneath.

A LOOK AT EACH MODEL
NIVADA GRENCHEN F77 MK2
Ice Agate
The dedicated centenary edition.
Ice Agate combines translucent layers with pale blue, white and crystalline patterns that give every dial a naturally different appearance. Nivada describes the material as being formed through mineral deposits over millions of years, with variations that cannot be reproduced from one piece to another.
Against the sharply brushed steel of the F77, it is probably the clearest expression of what this collection is about: a very structured watch surrounding something completely organic.

LABRADORITE
Labradorite changes considerably with the light, moving through darker mineral tones into blue and green reflections as the watch changes angle.
It is one of the more dynamic stones in the collection and particularly well suited to a watch whose brushed bracelet is already designed to react to movement and light.

JADE
The Jade F77's richer green colouring is generally more uniform than other stones, allowing the natural material to bring depth without overwhelming the sharp case and bracelet around it.

Black Opal
Smoky Quartz brings warmer brown, grey and translucent tones into a collection otherwise dominated by cooler colours.
The result softens the industrial character of the F77 without changing anything about the steel case surrounding it.

Azurite
Probably one of the most immediately distinctive options.
Azurite combines deep blue with areas of vivid green and naturally irregular mineral patterning. The balance changes from one dial to the next, so some watches may lean heavily towards blue while others reveal considerably more gree

Shungite Black
A black stone dial for anyone who prefers the material to reveal itself more gradually.
Shungite is naturally carbon-rich, giving the dial a deep black appearance with subtle raw texture across its surface. From a distance it is the most restrained member of the collection; closer inspection reveals why it is here.
