Det är så att jag ropade in en Eberhard på en auktion och efter det har intresset vuxit för märket. Eberhard har en väldigt rik historia men relativt "okända" i Sverige. Vad jag kan finna finns det inte ens en AD. Nu är det mesta copy paste här och orkar inte översätta till svenska. Tänkte mest att detta kan var lite intressant för någon som inte har så stor koll på Eberhard.
Det är Först och främst deras klockmodeller jag visar upp.
Origins
In La Chaux- de-Fonds, in 1887, Georges Eberhard a mere 22 years of age, founded the Manufacture d'Horlogerie Eberhard & Co. The Company specialised in the production of technical watches, launching the pocket chronograph, followed in 1919 by the first wrist chronograph.
In 1935, innovation centred on the double pulsating chronograph, offering the stop and start functions without having to reset to zero;
1938 was the year that saw the launch of the first chronograph with an hour counter.
When 1939 arrived, it heralded a new revolution: the Company created a wrist chronograph equipped with an innovative fly-back device, enabling dual time keeping. These were the years when the Eberhard chronographs were ploughing through the waves on the wrists of the Italian Royal Navy's officers.
After the war, the first ladies model was launched, after which, at the end of the 50s, the first Extra-fort made its appearance, a real watch industry jewel with seconds hand re zeroing by means of a sliding push piece.
1959 Presentation of the first split-second extra-fort chronograph.
1960: Born in the sixties, Contograf was destined to become an emblem of its period thanks to some very innovative characteristics, in the pure style of a watchmaker that was always ahead of its time.
1970: Eberhard & Co. faces the Quartz challenge by presenting Modul-O-Quartz, following the new trend and ensuring the continuity of its history.
1982: Re-launch of the mechanical chronograf with Replica Marine.
Technical passion and the taste for a challenge brought together Eberhard and the "Frecce Tricolori" (Three-coloured Arrows), to which the Chronomaster was dedicated in 1984.
The Company's centenary (1887-1987) was celebrated with the Navymaster collection.
1992 was the year of the "Tazio Nuvolari" chronograph, created in honour of the greatest car racing legend of all time.

In 1996, production was orientated towards large-sized models: the Traversetolo was born, with its 43 millimetre diameter.
The following year saw a new milestone: "8 Jours", which, thanks to an exclusive device, needs rewinding only once a week.
The third millennium opened with Chrono 4, the first and only chronograph in the history of watchmaking to display four counters aligned horizontally, subsequently also aligned vertically with the Chrono 4 Temerario.
