The short of it

Eterna is a Swiss watch house with a precise origin: Grenchen, November 1856, founded by Josef Girard and Urs Schild. The record identifies clocks and wristwatches, and names Hong Kong–based Citychamp Watch & Jewellery Group Limited as the current owner. That is enough to place the brand, but not enough to compare particular watches. Anyone considering an Eterna model should look up its individual specifications and current price before deciding.
