Eterna

[FuzzyBuns]

Yeah so I know Eterna has gone and been bought by a Chinese holding a few years back, but what are the more experienced members thoughts on the Calibre 39 movement and it’s chops? I did some reading after buying a GMT of theirs and found it quite interesting with 88 different modules and really like its action after the sandy hand winding of the base 2824s I’ve had in the past.  Thoughts?

The only watch I've seen with the Calibre 39 was Eterna's Kontiki chronograph and I've heard that Eterna isn't making watches anymore (although they still have an online presence so talk of their demise may just be an old dead rumor) but I wonder if this movement ever shows up elsewhere in the market.  I've been interested for years but haven't seen much in that time either.  I'd love to get my hands on the movement.

They are still selling and have shifted towards providing movements to others in the downsizing.  I bought the Adventic GMT cal 3914A on a whim at a huge discount and actually love it.  I was curious if anyone here has tore one down and their thoughts on the modules
