    I found a couple of watches on eBay from this brand NiceWatch. I have never heard of it before and a quick search on Google didn't have too many informative links.

    Please tell me about this brand :)

    Well, they built nice watches ::rimshot::


    There was a lot of small brands that only put their name on watches produced by others ("Chronographe suisse" is maybe the most known provider). A lot did not survived and it is very difficult to find information about them...

    When I say "produced by others", "others" usually produced the case, hands and dial, then put in it a movement supplied by other big names of the industry such as Landeron or Venus. It was a very common practice for watch manufacturer to not build the movement, and even high-end brands worked a lot like this: Breitling/Venus, Heuer/Landeron then Valjoux, Rolex/Valjoux, Omega/Lemania...

    Yours hosts a Landeron 39 if I am not mistaken. The case looks like nickel-plated brass. Very common back in the days (because it was cheap, while steel was very expensive because of the war and post-war reconstruction) but as it is a softer material, the case usually end in a very bad shape... Yours lost a bit of plating but it looks in good condition overall. And I like the lugs :thumbsup:

    Thank you so much for sharing this information!

    I agree this is a pretty nice looking piece and the condition is also quite okay. Only hoped that the hands were silver colored, then this would have been an instant buy ;)
