Does a Swiss ETA movement mean the second hand sweeps?
Not necessarily. A watch with an ETA movement just means (at least nowadays) that it's made by a company within the Swatch Group and has no bearing on what kind of movement it is. You'd have to look up your particular watch to see if it's a quartz or mechanical/automatic movement. Generally speaking, the latter will tend to have sweeping seconds because having sweeping seconds on a quartz movement will drain the battery quite fast, whereas the majority of mechanical/automatic movements (except the dead-beat seconds movements) rely on an escapement method which uses a balance wheel which ticks a certain amount of times every second.
