Vintage Croton Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Watch Box Display Pink Velvet FancyElaborate Pink Velvet covered and beautifully beaded ladies watch box for the Antarctic wrist watch. The interior satin globe design high lights their Antarctic fame. Nivada Grenchen timepieces have been in the watchmaking industry since 1926, the year when Jacob Schneider first created it in Granges (Grenchen). In 1976, his son Max took over the business. In the United States of America (USA), the Croton Company distributed all Nivada Grenchen watches. The timepieces can have either the Nivada Grenchen or Croton signature, or both.
In 1930, Nivada Grenchen was one of the first companies to manufacture automatic watches. This led to the creation of Nivada Grenchen’s first waterproof automatic watch called the Antarctic in 1950. The watch was worn by the members of the American Navy’s Deep Freeze 1 during their expedition to the South Pole from 1955 to 1956. What a treasure for the watch collector. Measures 6.5 x 5 x 1.6. Condition is Very Good Vintage.
