完整圖錄內容
In 1856, Josef Girard and Urs Schild founded the Swiss watch manufacturing company Eterna. The brand continues to thrive today, and is renowned for manufacturing high quality movements housed in attractively designed timepieces.
The present lot is, without any exaggeration, ‘New Old Stock’. In an unbelievably mint state of preservation, this watch features the impressive Valjoux caliber 69 – the smallest chronograph movement ever made. Accordingly, it comes as no surprise that the case measures a humble 29.5mm in diameter. Fitted with a stunning silvered dial featuring a blue pulsation scale along the outer rim, one can assume that this watch was intended for medical use. Its small proportions might even suggest that this watch was a testament to society’s progress during the 20th century, and created with a lady’s wrist in mind – perhaps for a nurse.
This rare example, further enhanced by its incredible condition, displays Eterna’s remarkable attention to detail and exceptional craftsmanship. Accompanied by the original hangtag stamped with the reference 106DT, this timepiece exhibits an untouched condition and represents a beautiful example of a rare and fine vintage wristwatch.
