These marks need to be multiplied by 5 to convert their meaning to minutes, so that when the hour hand is pointing at a little past the 12 mark, and the minute hand is pointing at 1 the time is 5 past 12. The hour hand points to one of these numbers on the appointed hour and the minute hand points at 12 - which also denotes 00 minutes.Īs minutes pass the minute hand moves slowly towards the position marked with a 1.

These are the hours and the watch will complete two full circuits in a day. To tell the time the watch face is usually marked in divisions of 12 units around the face, starting in the uppermost position with 12, and proceding, to the right, 1, 2, 3 and so on around to 11. The remaining hand - always the shorter of two, or the shortest of three - and usually broader then the other(s), is the hour hand. If there are three then the next longest, or the longest if there are only two, is the minute hand. It denotes the seconds and is the one which moves most rapidly around the face of the watch. If there are three then the thinnest (and possibly the longest) is the second hand. Discussion in 'Wrist Watches' started by ulackfocus, Jan 7, 2013. I paired it with a genuine tejus strap in burgundy, and I enjoy wearing it a lot, regardless of its origins. The brushed patterns on the dial are beautiful, and the hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 are very nice. Movement is the calibre 1429U, which is the type usually found in Centenaires. On the other hand, maybe in 1961 the Centenaire font was in transition and some models were still using the old font. In the close-up photo, there does appear to be some rough edges in the capital "C" in the said word, although it's not really noticeable unless you really look. Or it was a Centenaire but someone repainted the word in the wrong font. The question is whether it's truly a Centenaire model or the said word on the dial was added in later (for instance, on an Eternamatic 3000). The raised "5 ball bearings" logo would indicate that the dial was indeed from an Eterna. These 2 watches do have similar recessed hour markers like mine (but not the raised triangular markers at 3, 6, 9, 12), although the "Centenaire" logo is in the different font I was referring to:Īlso, Google searches seem to show stick hands mainly on Eterna Matic 3000s: However, it would appear that the 1960s Centenaires had a different font for the word "Centenaire", based on pics from the Eterna-Fanatic site.Īlso, most of the pics I've seen of 1950s and 1960s Eterna Centenaires seem to have Dauphine hands, except for these 2 ads (apparently from 1963) which show Centenaires with stick hands.

Is something I've only seen on Roland Ranfft's site in pics of 2 early (1956) Centenaire models, plus (if I recall correctly) another early Centenaire on the Eterna-Fanatic site.īased on the serial numbers on my movement and case, my watch dates to around 1961 (45xxxxx). 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.
