Are Eterna watches still made?
1 Answer
Yes, Eterna watches are still made, as of December 2021. The brand manufactures timepieces at the same factory in Grenchen, Switzerland, that it used more than 150 years ago. However, a Chinese company now owns Eterna. Shop a range of Eterna watches on 1stDibs.
