In 1928, Eduard Kummer Bettlach produces watches under the labels Artiflex, Ariston and Opus. And four years later, the brand appears Atlantic. The first hours of the Atlantic had chronographs with an increased degree of water protection. These accessories have begun to enjoy immense popularity both in Switzerland itself and in many European countries. The "Atlantic" chronometers became so popular and successful that in the early 1950s the company changed its name to Atlantic Watch Ltd. And the main activity of the enterprise was the construction of watches with an increased level of moisture resistance.
