![]() ![]() The font used for the "Centenaire" on my watch I did a search of the WUS forum - there was a thread that made me aware of franken-Eternas. However, definitive facts/details about Centenaires were sketchy. I found lots of Centenaire pics on the site. The Centenaire models were released from 1956 onwards, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the company founded in 1856. Obviously the research didn't stop me from acquiring it, though! It was a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, but since the forum has just opened this new Vintage sub-board, I thought I would share a few pics of this watch together with some of my research. However this time, I got it despite the question marks, because it was - ahem - just so gosh-darned pretty, and I've been wearing it quite regularly. It's clearly an Eterna-matic I'm just not sure it's a Centenaire model.Īs usual, I did some research on the internet first. Some time ago, I bought a vintage Eterna-matic Centenaire with questionable provenance.
