A Nod to the Past
Eberhard & Co., a renowned watchmaker with a rich history dating back to 1887, has unveiled its latest timepiece collection, the Chronographe 1887. This family of watches pays homage to the brand’s legacy of crafting elegant and functional timepieces.
A Classic Design with Modern Touches
The Chronographe 1887 boasts a vintage-inspired design with contemporary features. The 41.5mm polished and brushed steel case exudes a timeless appeal, reminiscent of classic hand-held stopwatches. The semi-monopusher style adds a unique touch, with one chronograph pusher integrated into the crown.
The dial design is a highlight, featuring intricate details and a distinctive spiral pattern. The combination of Arabic numerals and bold hands creates a striking visual contrast, while the busy dial adds a touch of sophistication. The domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating ensures optimal readability.
Powerful Performance
Powering the Chronographe 1887 is the Calibre EB 280 (manually wound) or EB 380 (automatic) movement, produced by Sellita. Based on the AMT 5100 chronograph movement, it offers a column-wheel transmission and flyback system for precise timing. The movement operates at 4Hz and boasts a power reserve of approximately 58 hours.
A Limited Edition Gem
For collectors, the limited edition Chronographe 1887 offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of watchmaking history. Limited to 250 pieces, this model features a slightly thinner case due to its manual winding movement.
The Allure of Eberhard & Co.
Eberhard & Co. has a distinctive style that blends Italian flair with Swiss precision. The Chronographe 1887 embodies this unique identity, offering a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary elements. Its bold design, intricate details, and robust performance make it a captivating timepiece for watch enthusiasts who appreciate timeless elegance and innovative craftsmanship.
