Especially more recently as people like Soprod and sellita are making movements which use the ETA formats and designs.Ī watch is either good or it isn't, it is not really about in house movements or not, Even Patek have used ebuches for Chrono movements. EG the IWC perpetuals.īuy a watch that speaks to you, IMO you would be better to exclude the ebuche issue from the equation. If you try to judge a watch on the basis of in-house movement or not it will exclude for you many of the greatest watches made. Then they add a further 79 parts to the finished movements, so the movement finishes with more UN parts than ETA parts and uses two UN patents. For example when UN use the 2892 for the Dual time watch they buy the parts, avg 64 parts in a 2892. Also many makers add parts and functions to an ETA movement. many makers buy off the shelf ETA 2892 movements, by the way they are very very good movements.Īlso many makers eg IWC and UN, buy movement parts from ETA and build them, often to higher standards. How well do Cartier watches with ETA movements stand the test of time? Does it depend on ETA used? I have had a look at JLC and Rolex, but didn't really find any styles I really liked Cartier remains my favourite for design. That is actually one of the styles I was considering Though I was initially hesitant because I was under the impression in house movements were superior to ETA, therefore I should probably go for an in house watch company if I'm forking out this much for a watch.
