Eterna was founded in Grenchen, Switzerland, in 1856 by Josef Girard and Urs Schild. Jointly founded the famous ébauche factory. The company was formerly known as Schild Fréres, starting by producing ladies’ wristwatches. In 1905, the company changed its name to Eterna. In 1932, Eterna set up a subsidiary company, ETA SA, which made movements for itself and other Swiss watch companies. In 1948, Eterna created the Eterna-Matic automatic, an advanced self-winding movement. Five ball bearings were placed in such a way as to make the movement very efficient. In 1948, Eterna used the five-ball arrangement as its corporate logo. In 1999, Eterna produced a series of watches marketed under the Porsche Design label. Porsche Design sold Eterna to International Volant Ltd, a subsidiary of China Haidian, in June 2012. China Haidian was later renamed in 2014 to Citychamp Watch & Jewellery Group Limited, where they continue to own Eterna.
