ETA History Link

Hey Guys:

The more I learn about watches and watch movements, the more I keep running into the name ETA.

Here is a link to a history of the company. You may find some interesting comments about ETA and the Swiss watch industry itself.

Enjoy.

My pleasure sharing the watch stuff that I come across.

This is one of the best things about this site: learning about the history of our watches and those who made them !.

If everyone chips in with a little something every now and then, it never gets boring !!
