BRIEF HISTORY OF NIVADA WRISTWATCHES
Nivada is a Swiss watch company. It was founded in 1879 in the town of Grenchen, Switzerland.

Though founded in 1879, there is much confusion of who owns the actual rights to the brand name "Nivada". They display the line at the Swiss Basel Watch & Jewelry Fair every year.

In 1879, Nivada started as a small family business. By 1906, Max Schneider aquired Nivada and with the visionary assistance of Eduardo Ruff the company reached international recognition by the late 20th century. 

The watch company has become the preference of watch consumers for all five continents, especially in Mexico. Mexican customers have taken Nivada as "one of their own" and it is one of the best selling brands in the country's watch industry. Boutiques are consistently opening in department stores and jewelry stores around the world. Nivada's lines include the Sport, Classic, Slim, Moonmaster, Skymaster and Millionaire.

BRIEF INFORMATION ON HELBROS WATCHES

I've been doing some research on a Helbros watch . Today Helbros is owned by Jules Jurgensen, they have had the relationship since 1913.  There was history record that Helbros is a New York based company. Elgin Watch was a subdiary of Hebros Watch Co. Elgin Watch Co being organized in Delaware suggests that it is more likely that Elgin was a division Helbros. The Elgin National Watch Company changed it's name to Elgin Industries and stopped making watches in the 1960's. Helbros made some watches themself but were much more of an assembler/marketer than a manufacturer. Because of contract manufacturing you can find vintage Helbos watches from Germany, Switzerland, and even a few from France. I know it's not much but I there isn't much out there.
