Story & Heritage Nigedo is a name encountered on vintage mechanical wristwatches, including examples bearing traditional “17 Rubis” inscriptions. This piece presents that identity through its distinctive stylised signature and the “Ancre” marking, referring to a lever escapement. The model presented here combines a notably spacious 37 mm case with a classical small seconds layout. Alternating Arabic numerals and baton markers give the dial a measured rhythm, while the gold-tone hands introduce warmth against its aged silver surface. The recessed seconds register, decorated with concentric circles, is a particularly appealing detail. Together with the curved lugs and broad bezel, it gives this watch a recognisable period character without excessive ornament. A distinctive vintage Nigedo for collectors who appreciate lesser-known watch names, generous proportions and the individual appearance of a patinated dial. Internal Reference Number - ABA 101
