Eberhard & Co. novelties

Eberhard & Co. novelties

In 2023, Eberhard & Co. continues its legacy of horological excellence with a collection of captivating novelties. This esteemed Swiss watchmaker, renowned since 1887, once again demonstrates its commitment to innovation and timeless design and this spring, it was not different.

Eberhard & Co.’s 2023 novelties reflect their unwavering dedication to crafting timepieces that not only mark the hours but also tell a story of 136 years of innovation.

SCAFOGRAF 300 MCMLIX

The contemporary rendition of the SCAFOGRAF 300 was unveiled in 2016. It received the Grand Prix D’Horlogerie de Genève Award for the best sports watch of the year. The “MCMLIX” version, characterized by vintage-style luminescent hands and markers, embodies all the key features of a dive watch.

Following versions with black, blue, and green dials, in 2023, Eberhard & Co. introduces a warm brown dial variant, paired with a ceramic bezel in the same hue. This highly technical model seamlessly transitions from the ocean’s depths to the diverse challenges of urban life, making it a perfect choice for any occasion. Scafograf’s versatility, inherited from the pioneering days of sports watchmaking, remains one of the key drivers behind its enduring success.

TRAVERSETOLO

The 1990s marked a pivotal moment for Eberhard & Co. with the launch of their inaugural Traversetolo timepiece. Right from its inception, Traversetolo enjoyed immediate success, a legacy that continues unabated to this day. In fact, it stands as one of the brand’s all-time best-sellers. Powered by a manual-winding movement originally conceived for pocket watches in the 1950s, which has been continually refined over time.

In a contemporary expansion of their collection, Eberhard & Co. now introduces two new dial variations: the classic white adopts a fresh allure through its combination with black superluminova, while an unprecedented midnight blue, reminiscent of the brand’s signature color, is paired with white superluminova.

This sophisticated and charming accessory is the perfect addition to elevate even the most casual ensemble.

8 JOURS GRANDE TAILLE

In 1997, Eberhard & Co. made an indelible mark in the world of horology by pioneering an extended power reserve timepiece with the birth of the 8 Jours model. However, the challenge lay in shrinking this remarkable feat into a mere 39mm diameter case.

The modern incarnation of one of watchmaking’s most cherished “useful complications” came to life. The exceptionally refined aesthetics paid homage to the timepiece’s historical roots, with the same classic lines retained.

Thanks to this remarkable marriage of technical prowess and aesthetic splendor, coupled with its outstanding value proposition. The 8 Jours has established itself as one of the most beloved models for enthusiasts of classic timepieces.

Maurice de Mauriac Züri Date

Maurice de Mauriac Züri Date

One watch, one city, eight colors: the origins of Maurice de Mauriac condensed on
a new multichromatic edition.

A singular timepiece, a kaleidoscope of hues: the inception of Maurice de Mauriac encapsulated within a fresh and vibrant multicolored iteration, the Züri Date.

Zurich will experience its blue miracle at the Züri Fäscht — the city festival which takes place only every three years that is also Switzerland’s largest festival. Rising to the occasion, Maurice de Mauriac is launching a new Züri-Date timepiece in 8 colours: green, turquoise, red, orange, black, white, yellow and blue.

The Design

Massimo Dreifuss, the elder Watchbro, describes the design process of the new Züri-Date as something special: “We kept getting on different trams at Paradeplatz, letting the colors work on us and changing them slightly again and again. In the end we had harmonized the aesthetics of the tram colors with our own aesthetics.”
Therefore, the new Züri-Date is available in eight dial hues, paired with a high-quality stylish leather strap or with a robust steel bracelet.

The new Züri-Date is available in eight dial hues, paired with a high-quality stylish leather strap or with a robust steel bracelet. Its characteristic dial features a day display at 12 o’clock in Zurich’s very own Swiss German dialect and a magnifying glass on the date at 3 o’clock.
The movement, naturally automatic, is a decorated ETA 2834-2 calibre with 25 jewels. The see-through back case provides a clear view of the mechanics, so you can watch how beautifully time flies in the city of Zurich.
