The demand for the time measuring instruments was gradually increasing, so the company was  thoroughly observing this market segment. The numerous researches bore fruit: in 1919,   Eberhard & Ñî company released its first wrist-watch chronograph. The manufactory was developing very fast, and in 1930, it presented its wrist watch with the automatic movement, that was considered the most brilliant technical achievement at that period of time. In 1935,  Eberhard constructed the first watch, that featured two push buttons.
