Pulsometer Limited Edition 1942
TOP
New generation, improved efficiency

Both practical medical instrument and handy timepiece, Eterna’s Pulsometer was by 1942 demonstrating its usefulness on the wrist of any number of medical doctors and nurses. It is back in 2010, this time with a self-winding mechanical movement providing 42 hours of reserve power fitted in a stainless steel case 42 mm across. The model’s limited-edition number, from 1 to 1942, is engraved on the case back. Professional caregivers and historians alike will be happy to see that the Eterna Pulsometer Limited Edition 1942 is recognizably the same as the historic version, not least its classic dial layout with pulsometric scale, minute totaliser and subdial for the seconds, joined today by a date calendar at 6 o’clock.

Re-edition of a model from 1942
With such a rich history, little wonder Eterna is tempted to revisit some of its iconic designs. One of the first is the celebrated Eterna Pulsometer chronograph produced in 1942. Its astute pulsometer scale considerably accelerated the time-consuming task of taking a patient’s pulse. At the time, it was the first and only pulsometer chronograph available to medical personnel in Switzerland. Eterna has now reissued an exact duplicate of the Pulsometer, with a case slightly larger than the original design. In salute to its year of issue, only 1,942 Pulsometer Limited Edition chronographs are being produced, each bearing its own identification number.
