ETA 2824-2 movement: history and technical sheet

Founded in 1856 in Grange, ETA ETA, which stands for Elegance, Technology, Accuracy, was originally a watch manufacturer, not just a movement manufacturer. ETA was initially named "Girard" & Schild" then Eterna in 1906. In 1932, the Eterna factory split in two: one entity would be dedicated to the marketing of finished watches (Eterna SA) and the other to ETA will be dedicated to movement blanks (movement blanks are the individual parts that make up the movement). The Swiss manufacturer ETA merged in 1978 with ASUAG, a group of Swiss manufacturers, then in 1983 ASUAG and SSIH were forced by their banks to merge. This merger gave rise to a new holding company, the Swatch Group. ETA is currently the leading movement manufacturer in Switzerland, supplying all the watch brands within the Swatch Group, as well as other brands such as our own. The Swiss manufacturer ETA currently produces 75% of Swiss mechanical movements.. The quality of its movements has enabled the current renown of many watchmaking houses.
