"The Eterna Matic Self-Winding Watch: The first self-winding watch to use a ball bearing" - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1950 Swiss magazine.

Text in the article is in English.

The opening sentences of the article read:

"Design and operation of the Eterna.Matic watch:

"A fundamental difficulty is encountered in the application of a self-winding mechanism to a ladies wrist watch, namely the fact well known to all designers that the performance of any machine falls off with a reduction in its overall dimensions. The reason for this is the impossibility of reducing the inevitable frictional losses, and the power consumed by auxiliary mechanisms, in the same proportion as the reduction of the dimensions."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.
