Las 5 marcas SANDOZ y las 2 marcas NIVADA. ¿Siguen a la venta sus relojes?

From my Telegram group, someone suggested: "It would be interesting to make a video about multi-brand watches, like these four Sandoz brands, the two Nivada brands, etc." Well, it turns out there aren't just four different Sandoz brands, but actually five. We'll also mention the two Nivada brands. How did they come about? Are they still active? SANDOZ The Sandoz family's records in Neuchâtel date back to 1530, and the first reference to them in watchmaking dates from 1693. In 1870, they established their first factory and began using the Sandoz brand. Henri Frédéric Sandoz (sometimes Frédéric Henri Sandoz), born in 1851, was a self-made man from Le Locle who, in the 1870s, founded Henri Sandoz & Cie., which later produced complicated watches under the name Cyma. In 1890, in partnership with two Schwob families, Sandoz established a watchmaking company in Malleray, near Tavannes. His new business became known as the Tavannes Watch Co. When Sandoz died in 1913, many watches were being manufactured under the name Henri Sandoz & Fils. Other names used by the Tavannes Watch Co. at various times include Tavannes-Cyma, Bijou Watch Co., Tacy Watch Co., and Lisca. After Sandoz's death, the company he founded continued to grow. By 1938, it was producing four thousand watches a day. Since 1971, the Sandoz brand has been divided into four main production areas, as its licenses are either leased or sold. This has resulted in four independent brands: Sandoz Singapore, Sandoz Hong Kong, Sandoz Switzerland, and Sandoz Spain (Munreco), which also owns Viceroy and Mark Maddox. All of them produce watches under the Sandoz name, but each production company has its own product line. Sandoz Switzerland manufactures high-quality watches, while Sandoz Hong Kong and Sandoz Singapore manufacture cheaper, lower-quality watches. Sandoz Swiss / Sandoz of Switzerland Sandoz Watch Co. (Far East) Ltd. (Hong Kong): Discontinued in 2023 Sandoz Singapore Co. Ltd. Sandoz Singapore watches display the word "Swiss" at 6 o'clock, but they do not meet the legal requirements: the watch must be assembled and cased in Switzerland, and the final inspection must be carried out in Switzerland. Sandoz Singapore watches only meet the first requirement, that is, they have a Swiss movement. Therefore, the "Swiss" mark on the dial is not legitimate. In the future, we will not sell Sandoz Singapore watches that incorrectly display the "Swiss" mark on the dial. Raban Sandoz Watch Co. (Korea) They do something else Sandoz Spain NIVADA In 1926, Nivada operated in Grenchen under the name Wüllimann Schneider Nivada S.A. The company relied on proven movements from ETA SA and Phénix S.A., as was common at the time, and was known for its quality, mass-produced watches. Nivada celebrated its centenary in 1979, at which point it came under the management of Max Schneider, the founder's son, who took over the business in 1976. During the 1960s and 1970s, Nivada was prohibited from using its name due to its phonetic similarity to Movado, so the products were labeled "Nivada Grenchen." In the United States, Croton (founded in 1878 in Italy, later headquartered in New Jersey) became the American distributor of Nivada products. As a result, many were sold under the names "Croton Nivada," "Croton Nivada Grenchen," and simply "Croton," avoiding issues of similarity with the Movado name. It closed in the 1980s, and in 2000 a Mexican company licensed the name and operated as Nivada Swiss. In 2018, the brand was revived by its current owner in Switzerland, who licensed the name and used the back catalog to produce vintage reissues. Nivada Grenchen Nivada Swiss HOLZER Y COMPAÑIA S.A.
