FUN FACTS On November 7, 1856, Josef Girard, a physician, and Urs Schild, a schoolteacher, founded a movement-blank workshop “Dr. Girard & Schild”, renamed “Eterna” some decades later in 1889. At the 1904 Swiss National Exhibition in Bern, Eterna introduced the first wristwatch fitted with an alarm mechanism, a technical breakthrough which the company had patented in 1908. Eterna scores a hit with the smallest serially produced baguette movement for women's wristwatches. The company splits into two joint-stock companies in 1932: “ETA AG" becomes a maker of movements and Eterna AG manufactures precision watches. In addition, Eterna begins making wrist chronographs and the new square wristwatches with a sweep second. The Norwegian archaeologist Thor Heyerdahl and five other scientists set out from the Peruvian coast into the Pacific Ocean on a simple raft made of balsa wood, on their wrists the researchers wore specially made Eterna watches. In 1948 The Eterna-Matic entered automatic movement history with its movement’s oscillating weight mounted on ball bearings to attenuate friction and dampen the effects of shocks, jarring and blows on the rate of the watch. Exclusive to Eterna, this system remains a worldwide reference while the five spheres have become the Eterna logo. A prosperous decade for Eterna! For the company's 100th anniversary, it releases the extra-thin "Centenaire" automatic. "Golden Heart" is the crowning glory in the ladies' watches segment. The world's smallest automatic movement with a massive gold rotor is worn by actresses Gina Lollobrigida and Brigitte Bardot. Also, Eterna develops the "Kon Tiki 20", a tribute to the expedition of the norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl in 1947. The "Eterna-Matic 3000 Dato" is 1962 the thinnest men's watch with an automatic movement and a date window. The movement height is 3.6 mm. The "Sahida" automatic has a height of 4 mm and is a great success with women. Eterna puts itself back into the elite circle of genuine manufactures and creates in 2004 the Calibre 6036, the next year follows the ultra-thin manufacture automatic 3030, in 2007 the Calibre 6037 and a half-century after the Eterna-Matic, the "Spherodrive" once again highlights the significance of tiny ball-bearings in mechanical watchmaking in 2009. PERSONAL NOTE We have paired this Eterna-Matic with a straps, which sets off the dial perfectly and brings it truly to the present so you can take it on into the future.
