**Atlantic-Watch Production Ltd**

Swiss watch manufacturer

In [[1888]] [[Kummer, Eduard|Eduard Kummer]] founded in [[Bettlach]], [[Solothurn]], near [[Grenchen]], a watch factory under the name "EKB" (//Eduard Kummer Bettlach//) for the manufacture of [[pocket watch]]es. Initially the firm employed 20 watchmakers, but early in the new century, the number of employees rose up to 720 workers.

In the [[1920]]'s "EKB" was one of the first producers of [[waterproof]] [[wristwatch]]es. For this reason, the name EKB was altered to [[Atlantic]].

Today, Atlantic offers very inexpensive mechanical watches, with movements by [[ETA]], mainly in the lower price ranges.
