Antique Watches: A history of watch making would be incomplete without the mention of Swiss's impressive and significant contributions to the industry. The Case, invented by Swiss in 1926, was hailed as the world's first truly waterproof wristwatch. It combined two revolutionary features: an amazingly strong case and a hermetically sealed winding crown.
In 1931, the second important innovation of the Swiss was the development and introduction of the "Perpetual" - the first automatic winding watch utilizing a revolutionary rotor. Little changed since its debut, the Perpetual movement transforms each movement of the wrist into a reserve of power. This system keeps the mainspring at optimum tension, assuring an extra margin of accuracy and dependability.
