Eterna Watches are true revolutionaries in the world of horology. The brand founded during 1856 in Grenchen, Switzerland is renowned and highly regarded for their innovative spirit as well as being true visionaries in the art of watchmaking.
In the early 1900’s the brand introduced a series of wristwatches for women, utilizing small pocket watches attached to bracelet and leather straps. In 1908, the Eterna brand patented and introduced the first alarm wristwatch.
Eterna is legendary for developing a five ball-bearing mounted rotor system in its automatic wristwatches during 1948. The rotor system reduced the friction and resistance of the weight of self-winding automatic watches and also improved the timepieces accuracy as well.
This innovative system propelled the Eterna brand’s standing in the watch industry, as many other watchmakers soon started to use the new Eterna system in their automatic watch movements.
The five ball-bearing design was immediately incorporated by Eterna as its corporate logo and the design soon appeared on the dials of Eterna’s timepieces. The introduction of the Eterna Matic 3000 Dato men’s timepiece and the Sahida automatic watch during the 1960’s furthered the brand’s prominence in the horological industry. Both watches featuring cases less than 4mm thick were the thinnest automatic movement timepieces at the time.
The Eterna brand remains a prominent player in the watch industry today with the introduction of the ultra-thin automatic 3030 movement in 2006, along with the 2007 debut of the Spherodrive Eterna Matic, featuring a new and updated ball bearing mechanism with an eight-day power reserve.
