Nivrel Le Chronograph Replique II Limited Edition Movement

The History of Nivrel

In 1891, master goldsmith Friedrich Jacob Kraemer founded a jewelry and watch shop in SaarbrUcken that proved, over generations, to be the best place for fine jewelry. Gerd Hofer entered the family business in 1956, continuing it into the fourth generation. However; in spite of the fad that he was trained as a goldsmith, his true passion was for watchmaking. In 1993 he and his wife, Gitta, bought the rights to use the Swiss name Nivrel, a brand that had been founded in 1936, and they integrated production of watches bearing this name into the business processes of the Saarbrücken-based company.

Nivrel – A Symbiosis of Watchmaking and Goldsmithing

Today, Nivrel takes advantage of both lineages of its previous owners. Mechanical complications with Swiss movements of the finest technical level and finishing as well as gold watches in the high-end design segment of the industry are manufactured with close attention to detail and an advanced level of craftsmanship. Nivrel offers a wide range of products, but specializes in unique timepieces that represent a symbiosis of what watchmaking and goldsmithing have to offer In addition to classic automatic watches, the brand has introduced everything from complicated chronographs and skeletonized watches to perpetual calendars and tourbillons.

The Nivrel Flagship – The Pièce Unique Collection

The brand’s flagship is certainly the Pièce Unique collection, which unites the fascination of mechanical complications with goldsmith artistry and engraving perfection. Thus, for example, repeater modules and movements are hand-skeletonized, hand- engraved, rhodium-plated, and partially galvanized in various colors. The dials are skeletonized works of art in the form of figures and ornaments, including unique pieces made expressly according to the client’s wishes. The models outfitted with a five- minute repeater have an extra cherry on the top in the form of an automaton, allowing for a figure or decorative motif to move when the strike train begins.

Nivrel watches are a great example of how fast a watch brand incorporating a characteristic style and immaculate product quality can make a solid place for itself in the industry. Affordable prices also play a significant role in this brand’s success.
