AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A chronograph from the 1940s of rare elegance and authenticity, signed Eberhard, Swiss manufacture based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, active since 1887 and among the first in the world to specialize in chronograph production.
The oversize 40mm steel Staybrite case, a stainless alloy widely used in watchmaking of the era, gives the piece a wrist presence that feels surprisingly modern. The dial is the real protagonist: the uniform patina gained in eighty years of life tells an authentic and unrepeatable story, highlighting the triangle indexes and the Arabic numerals at 6 and 12 in a warm chromatic tone that no replica could imitate.
The Eberhard 1600 caliber on a Valjoux 65 base is one of the most reliable and appreciated chronograph movements of its generation and powers a functioning chronographic complication, with minutes at 3 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock. For the collector who can recognize the value of natural patina and vintage mechanics in full working efficiency.
