What, in 1856, set out as a factory producing blank movements, in time, grew into a mature manufacturing enterprise thanks to the vision and tenacity of founding partner Urs Schild. As a family-owned company, Eterna has remained faithful to its original philosophy – that of perfecting the classic art of watchmaking. It has managed this with great aplomb, as can be seen from the series of milestones that have marked the past 150 years. In 1995 the company was taken over by the Porsche Family. Since then , designers, watchmakers and engineers have been collaborating on products designed to keep Eterna and its inheritance of tradition at the forefront of progress – products such as Porsche Design’s high-end, high-performance timepieces. On the road to perfecting the time-honored watchmaker’s art, our craftspeople make use of highly precise and cutting-edge technology. From the initial concept of a movement to its series manufacture, we deploy the latest in engineering and computing technology to bring our new design solutions to fruition. Testing at every stage of development helps guarantee the full functionality of our timepieces. Engineers, prototype builders and watchmakers are all involved in equal measure in this creation process – the knowledge they share carries watchmaking to new heights of mechanical perfection.Unadulterated, time-honored craftsmanship is a defining feature of traditional watchmaking. It is at the heart of our manufacturing capability from the time of our company’s founding in 1856. A number of our masterpieces would never have seen the light of day were it not for the knowledge, experience and consummate skill of our watchmakers. Only by knowing something inside and out can one sense how it can be improved upon – and that is why we remain true to our roots.
