If you review ETA movements vs. Eterna movements, you begin to see that any technological improvement eterna created would find its way into an ETA movement several years later. I'm not sure if this was because the patents expired or if some sort of licensing was involved. I think it was only until the late 70s or early 80s that eterna used some modified ETAs. When the porsche family purchased the company, they continued producing their own movements as well as using a modified ETA ebauche for a few of their models.

Jon is correct, ETA was spun off of eterna in the 30s. One thing that have not been able to discover, however, is exactly how the companies interacted after the split. I have read that, although swiss law required them to be seperate, they still shared a building and were seperated in legal name and function only. It seems that eterna developed the technology, used it in their movements, and then ETA got it a bit later. But i'm not sure how that took place.
At some point their histories diverge, i think, as the mergers of swiss companies becomes more predominant. I really know very little about it. I have become interested in eterna because i think they're very well made and undervalued right now. A solid gold cased eterna chronometer recently auctioned on the bay for around 300 dollars.
A great deal for an excellent watch. I was hoping someone would appear in this thread who knows a lot more than i do. I suspect that ETA and Eterna worked closely. During the period between wars things got bad for the Swiss watch industry and the Government stepped in and put them all into a cartel. They set laws to govern who could make what.
Eterna probably split off ETA to comply with these rules. The real mystery is how they got away with it. Starting a new business required a government permit and they gave out very few.

This is discussed in Neuchatel and Its Horological Heritage which is reviewed in the horological books section. To me an Eterna is mnufacturer's watch even when it has an ETA movement.
I reallly like the Eternamaic chronometer pictured.
Those who have spent some time browsing through this website will have gleaned that we are very interested in the technical evolution of the luxury wristwatch. From the pioneer days of World War I right up until the mid-1970s, there was a steady stream of innovations that filtered through to the products supplied by the top tier Swiss houses to the general public. The watches that featured these landmark developments are of great historical significance and because of this, we feel that they make very safe investments in the portfolio of any collector. For however long there is an interest in wristwatches, models like the Harwood, the first self-winding wristwatch, the early Rolex Oyster, the first really useable waterproof release and the Breitling Navitimer Chronomatic, the earliest automatic chronometer, will always be regarded as highly desirable. We have advised our customers to purchase these key models for more than twenty-five years and so far, those that have followed this route have seen a very impressive return on their outlay. This very attractive gentleman’s Eterna-Matic from 1952 fits squarely into the bracket of an important model and we cannot recommend it too strongly.
Eterna was founded in 1856 and is probably best known today for its offshoot ETA, the corporate movement maker that supplies almost everyone, from IWC, Rolex and Longines through to Omega, with raw, unfinished movement blanks that can then be processed and refined as required. The situation is complex and too detailed to be dealt with in this description, but basically, Swiss law limits the activities of those brands selling complete watches in the field of movement-only supply in order to prevent monopolies emerging. So Eterna sold finished watches under its own name and, in a rather contrived way, set up ETA as a legally separate entity, operating from the same facility, enabling the latter to sell movements to other concerns. What we do notice is that a common pattern developed, with the latest advances appearing first on Eterna watches, before these were applied to ETA movement production some time later. It would be an exaggeration to say that Eterna was a test bed for ETA, but clearly the lower volumes of manufacture involved with Eterna meant that it was realistic to experiment with new ideas before the financial commitment was made to gear up for large scale release of essentially the same products in ETA form.
