 Good read here on Eterna's new Calibre 39, especially in light of the historical connections that Eterna had in starting ETA.

Even more interesting due to the fact that Porsche sold Eterna to International Volant Limited of China back in the mid-2011 timeframe.   

At least for now, it looks like Volant Limited is supporting/leveraging Eterna with what they have done best historically...designing and producing excellently designed and innovative Swiss mechanical calibers (I'm not going to venture what the future will bring). 

This kind of innovation and excellence is great to see given the current landscape for mechanical movements IMO.thumbsup.gif
