Eberhard celebrates its 125th anniversary with a new Extra-fort

125. Eberhard & Co. history goes back as many years, all lived in devotion to

constant innovation and research. A special attention to the selection of the most

valuable raw materials reveals the passion for details and style. These are the

elements that evoke the dedication to a special and exclusive universe, the world of

high-watchmaking, and which have characterised the Maison since its

establishment in 1887.


On the occasion of the prestigious international show Baselworld 2012, Eberhard

& Co. presents a preview of a special model celebrating its 125 years:


Extra-fort Roue à Colonnes Grande Date 125ème Anniversaire.


An exclusive model produced in limited edition - 500 pieces for the steel version

and 125 for the precious gold edition - to mark this important event, thus

reaffirming the Brand’s ability to passionately and consistently pursue its calling

for innovation, while preserving its personality and independence.


The technical preciousness of Extra-fort Roue à Colonnes Grande Date 125ème

Anniversaire resides in the column-wheel that controls the chronographic

functions of the mechanical automatic movement, perfectly matching the aesthetic

refinement of the model.

With its elegant and harmonious lines and a 41 mm case proposed with a silvery or

black dial, the new Extra-fort is distinguished by Arabic numerals at 1, 2 and 5

o’clock that stand out against the dial, symbolizing the 125 years of illustrious

tradition and a growing passion for the universe of “Time”. To complete the

celebrative pattern, an Eberhard & Co. logo as been applied on the dial.

Waterproof to 30 metres in the gold version and 50 metres in the steel one, with a see-through sapphire glass case-back that reveals a particularly detailed and personalized

movement, Extra-fort 125ème Anniversaire is available with a crocodile strap or a

Chalin steel bracelet, both equipped with the deployment clasp Déclic (Patented).


In 125 years, the Maison never stopped to look ahead, supported by the strength of

its history, with a conquering spirit that has given life to countless revolutionary

creations.
