Thomas Niemeyer here, why "EternaT? It looked as if the system did not accept my name. At the completion of my apprenticeship in Germany - a long time ago - my "Lehrmeister" presented me with an Eternamatic. My working life in South Africa had mainly to do with clocks, from domestic, industrial, public clocks, restoring and installing. I now have my workshop in our house and sell the odd clock movement. My own clocks I have started restoring, in order to sell some of them.
