The \"Ermeto\" case design was developed and patented in 1926 by the Huguenin Freres of Le Locle, Switzerland. The design called for a rectangular \"hermetic\" casing around a watch module, which could open and close to view the dial and also to \"automatically\" wind the watch each time the case was opened and closed. The Ermeto was marketed aggressively by Movado beginning in 1927, and was a huge success. Ermetos were manufactured in four different sizes in a variety of metal cases and coverings, including gold, silver, enamel and reptile skins. Here\'s a rare and beautiful Ermeto Chronometre in .935 sterling silver with gold inlaid horizontal stripes.
