Story & Heritage
Eberhard & Co is one of the respected names of Swiss watchmaking, especially admired for its long tradition in chronographs. Founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the brand built its reputation through elegant, reliable and technically refined timepieces, often chosen by collectors who appreciate understated luxury and mechanical authenticity.
The Contodate Chronograph represents a particularly charming chapter in this heritage. Its combination of a date display, chronograph function and elegant two-tone dial design makes it both practical and collectible. The golden sub-dials create a beautiful contrast against the silver dial, while the compact 32 mm case reflects the refined proportions of its era.
Inside beats a rare Swiss mechanical Eberhard chronograph movement, a calibre family appreciated for its connection to prestigious chronograph watches, including movements used by Omega and other important Swiss maisons. This gives the watch not only visual elegance, but also strong historical and mechanical interest.
A sophisticated vintage chronograph for collectors who appreciate Eberhard’s heritage, rare mechanical movements and the charm of a beautifully aged Swiss timepiece.
