A watch after my own heart
What a treat for me - I haven't visited the forum in months, and a classic 36000bph Eterna is on the front page! For those who don't know me, I have a large collection of hi frequency watches, and am glad to encounter someone who appreciates those sturdy old reliables. Here is a slightly less elegant younger cousin to your watch.
Regards,
Ginger
Some more time with the vintage Eterna
Given that I am Chopard-less at the moment (the Chrono One undergoing maintenance, the MM 2014 waiting for a new strap for my wife), the Eterna has been getting more wrist time recently. The more I wear it, the more I like it, basically. It seems to be ke...

I'm not even sure how to describe . . .
. . . the dial. "Impressionist brickyard", perhaps? Eye-catching indeed, e-f. Thanks for sharing another model from what I like to describe as my favorite yet needlessly obscure manufacturer. Best, Art

I was quite happy...
...to have found one in this condition, and the 36000 just sealed the deal :) The seconds hand appears to move in a very leisurely fashion, since the steps are so tiny but then again it cannot be too slow, given that the watch is not losing time. One thin...
Good to see you back, Ginger . . .
. . . not to mention compounding my oversight when it comes to Eterna high-beats! I don't recall seeing yours before; a more recent addition to your collection? Warmest, Art
