ETERNA MATIC VINTAGE POCKET WATCH
ALL PHOTOS SHOWN ARE ACTUAL IMAGE OF THE ITEM YOU ARE BIDDING ON!!!
ESTABLISHED 1856 – SWISS MADE
Probably the most famous Eterna watch was their Eterna-matic. This watch was launched in 1948. The design of the automatic winding was one of Eterna’s greatest designs. The rotor ran on small ball bearings making it very efficient, hence the trademark of five ball bearings. The Eterna-matic continued in various styles and was still available in 1998, and has indeed been relaunched.
After 1982, the Eterna company was sold several times. By 1995, it ended up being owned by F.A.P. Beteiligungs GmbH. In 1999, Eterna produced a range of watches that were marketed under the Porsche Design label. The company is still at the forefront of modern wristwatch design.
