Atlantic (Atlantic-Watch Production Ltd)is a Swiss watchmaker. It was established in 1888 in Bettlach, near Grenchen (Switzerland) by Eduard Kummer. The company was initially trading as Eduard Kummer Bettlach (EKB). Later the name was changed to “Atlantic”. The company manufactured components for brands such as Longines and Certina until the early 1930s. In 1932, it began producing its own watches sold under the “Atlantic” brand. They were one of the world's first waterproof watches. In the 1950s, “Atlantic” invented the speed switch mechanism, allowing the date to be changed quickly using the crown (a feat comparable to the invention of the crown by Patek Philippe).
