I have to say that opening my email in-box and seeing that there is a message from Eterna is like Christmas, and this morning was no exception! A big thank you to Manon Abplanalp who once again played Santa Clause!
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the
Eterna Madison Eight-Days

Madison Eight Days
|
This is the third classic
Eterna watch re-imagined by these talented folks, and I have to say that my piggy bank may have to go on a serious diet - I WANT ONE!

And here are some details courtesy of Eterna -
The eight-day Eterna calibre 3510 is based on the Eterna Spherodrive design from 2009 – a novel spring barrel design rotating on ball bearings. “The Eterna Spherodrive represents a revolutionary improvement to the mechanical efficiency as well as to the longevity and reliability of the watch movement”, explains Patrick Kury, Eterna Technical Director.
By fitting the spring barrel on ball bearings, Eterna engineers eliminated in one go most of the problems caused by wear and tear at the exact point where the movement is subjected to the greatest pressure and friction. Furthermore, the Eterna Spherodrive construction proved ideally suited to the pair of series-coupled spring barrels of the Madison Eight-Days’ Eterna 3510 calibre.

192 hours of power reserve, the hand-wound calibre 3510 with Eterna Spherodrive, 14 3/4 x 12 lines, 28,800 v.p.h., features 7 ball bearings, 22 jewels and a Glucydur balance wheel.
This watch will be available in limited locations starting in November of this year. A wonderfully innovative movement, eight days of power reserve with an easy to read date, all while staying true to a classic Eterna design. Christmas, it seems, will be early this year!
