Eberhard and Co was started by Georges-Emile Eberhard in 1887 in La-Chaux-de-Fonds. He has a strong passion and knowledge in combining technicality and beauty in watches. He focused on chronometers and chronographs.

In 1919 he introduced his first chronograph wristwatch. Later in 1930, his automatic winding watch was one of the first to be brought into the market. W

ith the company�s credible background, they had the privilege to supply watches to the Italian Royal Navy. In 1935 he launched its chronograph with two push buttons and in 1939 the chronograph rattrapante was unveiled.

The company has been known for its impeccable designs and details. It uses mainly gold and stainless steel for its watch cases with great diversity in shapes.

One of its most interesting chronograph to be introduced was the Chrono 4 Bellissimo. It has a row of counters positioned horizontally across the bottom of the dial. From left to right, there are the 30-minute counter, hour counter, 24-hour counter, and lastly the small seconds subdial.

Another new collection from Eberhard and Co was the 8 Days Postillon. It is a manual-winding watch running on Eberhard 896-8J caliber with a patented 8 days power reserve. The power reserve indicator device is based on two overlapping springs that is only wound once a week.

It has a 39mm diameter and 10mm thick case available in either 18k pink gold, white gold, or stainless steel. Its dial comes in either black or white with Roman numerals. Located at 9 to 10 is the power reserve indicator and at 6 is the small seconds subdial.

The Extra-Fort Automatic has been a popular choice for its classic design yet intricate detailing. The automatic winding watch has an engine-turned soleil pattern on its dial.

The colors available are silver, anthracite gray, light blue, and Bordeaux for the dial. The stainless steel or pink gold case are 38mm in diameter and has a water resistance of 50m.

Other beautiful collections from Eberhard and Co that I personally recommend are the Tazio Nuvolari Vanderbilt Cup and the Traversetolo Vitre.

The latter is made of stainless steel or pink gold case. It uses an 8 days power reserve. As shown in the picture below, its dial comes in matt black with luminescent Arabic numerals. It has printed minute track with luminescent dots and luminescent leaf-style hands. The small seconds subdial is located at 6.
