Eberhard & Co.

Eberhard: Horological Art from Tradition

Hardly any other country is as closely associated with luxury watches as Switzerland. Numerous renowned watch brands originate here. One of the internationally recognized brands is Eberhard. It was in 1887 that Georges-Emile Eberhard founded his own watch manufacture. When establishing the company, he followed the lead of other luxury watch manufacturers and chose La Chaux-de-Fonds as its location. Eberhard initially focused on the production of elegant pocket chronographs. In 1919, the company was eventually taken over by his two sons. In the same year, Eberhard made a name for itself as a supplier to the Royal Italian Navy. On this occasion, the company presented the first wrist chronograph, which featured an hour counter.

Eberhard Continuously Surprised with Historical Refinements

After Eberhard ceased watch production during World War II, it resumed in 1947. From then on, the Swiss company consistently presented new and extraordinary watches. This included a first collection of luxury wristwatches, which was launched in the late 1950s. Several innovations characterized Eberhard's Extra-Fort collection. On the one hand, the manufacture impressed with technical refinements, and on the other hand, the design also held a special significance. Highlights included the second counter and the slide rule.

Eberhard Watches are Popular Investment Assets

Over the past decades, the Eberhard watch brand has consistently impressed with exceptional luxury watches. Many of them not only made a name for themselves as jewelry, but also enjoy a special status as investment assets. This is due not only to the quality of the watches but also to the impressive history behind the brand. At the same time, the name Eberhard is synonymous with precision movements and extraordinary craftsmanship.
