The Watch Score is not sufficient to fully classify a collectors’ watch in the eyes of its owner or future buyer.Any constituent part is analysed and scored according to three criteria (condition, conformity, and relative importance compared to the other parts and to the model being analysed) a proprietary algorithm factoring in these 3 criteria is used to calculate the Score on a scale of 10 The Watch Score consists on a detailed analysis of the watch’s main constituent parts: caliber, dial, bezel, hands, case, caseback, crown, pushers, and glass.The WATCHFID Grade is divided into 2 components, the Watch Score and the Extra Features: We have created a unique valuation tool for collectors’ watches: the WATCHFID Grade.Īs an integral part of the appraisal book, the WATCHFID Grade is designed to analyse and take into account as best as possible a wide diversity of information such as the conformity and condition of the watch and its components, the rarity of certain configurations or any other specific information, such as a prestigious history.

The Chronomaster model was first imported with the name association Croton Nivada Grenchen, then with the name Croton only. Croton was the US importer of Nivada watches since the 1930s.
