Eberhard & Co. : “Chronographe 120ème Anniversaire”

Eberhard & Co. enriches the “Chronographe 120ème Anniversaire” collection with an elegant red gold version fitted with an automatic cam movement.
This model,keeps all the features that mark the collection: the transparent caseback enables to admire the refined movement and the particular skeleton rotor with the gilt Silhouette “120″, whose base features the engraving “120ème Anniversaire 1887-2007”. The dial reminds the special anniversary by showing the name “120ème Anniversaire” and is available either in tobacco color with white counters or in white color embellished by a circular golden area, which on one hand makes the tachometer scale stand out, and on the other hand it gives a touch of light to the whole dial.
The special counter at 6 o’ clock has a double function, being the hours- counter of the chronograph and the indicator of the days simultaneously represented on it. The skeleton hands guarantee the readability of the counters and the oblique date indicator at 8 o’ clock. The specially worked sapphire glass, convex, exalts the light reflexes, while the case features a geometric design laterally giving refinement to the profile.
The chronograph’s push buttons are finely worked and the crown has an original “quadrillé” decoration.
Technique, elegance and attention to every detail make this new version a piece of history telling more than 120 years.

What a beautiful classic watch. The gold details and the white face really set the watch off.
