The Eberhard & Co. brand is firmly rooted in Swiss watchmaking history and was once the largest Swiss watch manufacturer in the early 1900s. The founder George-Emile Eberhard founded the company at the young age of 22 years old in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Though Eberhard & Co. greatly influenced the rise of the Swiss watchmaking history, the brand is most well-known for its post-war wristwatches, such as the elegant Extra-Fort chronograph and the Scafograph diving sports watch.
In the years that followed, Eberhard became more and more established in the world of watchmaking, especially in the world of precision chronographs and, later, for professional sports watches.
This 18k watch is a representation of the simple elegance of the 1960s. Its lines, the straight lugs, the rose gold applied hour markers, and the yellow gold case workmanship tell of the attention and importance Eberhard gave to its dress watches.
This is one of the typical examples of how vintage, with little expense, can give great satisfaction on the wrist of those who demand style and sophistication.
