"Eterna Matic 1000 Watch, 1969"
Swiss Eterna Matic 1000 watch, circa 1969.
The History of Eterna was officially born on November 7, 1856. Its founders, Dr. Joseph Girard (surgeon) and Urs Shild, teacher, named the company U.Shild & Co. Shild was an accountant at F. Kunz & Girard, when one day he managed to become a partner, changing the name to Girard & Shild, producing blanks and pocket watches. In 1866, Girard left the company and was replaced by Adolph Shild. , brother of Urs. In 1896, Adolph Shild left the company to found one under his own name: A. Shild or AS. In 1905, U. Shild & Co. took the name Eterna.
The success of the Eterna arrived in 1908 with the first watch with an integrated alarm. The history of the Eterna is actually a good part of the history of modern watchmaking. In 1930, Eterna marketed the smallest shaped movement called a "baguette", dedicated to women's watches.
Eterna founded a new mechanical movement production company in 1932 under the name ETA and expanded its production and current know-how with the acquisition of Valjoux. In 1947 what would become a symbolic and legendary watch was born: the Eterna Kon Tiki.
In 1948, another successful Eterna watch was released: the Eterna-Matic. On June 30, 2012, Eterna was acquired by the Volant Ltd group.
