EBERHARD & Co. Chrono 4 Badboy

Eberhard & Co. gives its Chrono 4 Badboy a completely new and distinctive gutsy look, which will be revealed in all its explosive energy at the watchmaking world’s most important international occasion, Baselworld 2010.

After having revolutionized the reading of time, thanks to the specially patented device aligning four counters, the Company’s emblem collection has become a “laboratory of ideas”, revealing a maximum expression of compactness, strength and dynamism.

This is the definition of a chronograph that creates a strong and decisive impact with every aspect of its design detail. From the imposing 46mm diameter steel case to the rotating bezel with PVD-treated screws, from the screw push-pieces to the crown guard, from the thick, anti-reflective sapphire crystal to the 8 screws of the screw-down case back, ensuring water-resistance to 20atm.

A particular characteristic of the Chrono 4 Badboy is its meticulous exploration of the three-dimensional and its surprising multi-level implementation of the results. Worth special mention in this context is the subtle circular metal plate mounted on the dial. Its 6 screws, emphasize the four in-line counters, and the combination of screws at intervals around the sides of the case, on the bezel, the case back and finally the flange, challenge the limits of verticality and are complemented by the tachymeter scale expressed in km.

Further confirming the distinctly sporty, gutsy character of Chrono 4 Badboy are its unmistakable red features, namely the central seconds hand and the small numeral references of the counter displays that stand out proudly on the dial. Also the attractive black rubber strap, vertically sculpted, accentuates the thickness of the material and reinforces those qualities of robustness and compactness, with which Eberhard intended to endow the model.

Chrono 4 Badboy is thus truly part of the constant evolution of the projects and ideas signed “Eberhard & Co.” that, now more than ever, are coming skillfully and dynamically into focus in a chronograph of indomitable strength.

Eberhard & co. TAZIO NUVOLARI EDITION LIMITÉE GRAND PRIX TN

A MARRIAGE OF TRADITION AND MODERNITY

On the occasion of the next International Basel Fair, Eberhard & Co. will present as special preview the new “Tazio Nuvolari Edition Limitée Grand Prix TN” in 18 ct. red gold.

Ever mindful of all that has left its mark on history, Eberhard is once again inspired by Tazio Nuvolari, myth of motor sport, to whom it dedicates an exclusive chronograph that is distinguished by the untarnishable value and incomparable nobility associated with the intrinsic elegance of gold.

The new gold version of “Tazio Nuvolari Grand Prix” retains the distinctive characteristics of the steel one, created and produced with a deliberate philosophy, based on the instrumentation of the vintage racing car, which reflected the demands of essentialness, distinctness, ease of reading, precision, weatherproofing and shock resistance, all indispensable requirements that are also featured in the new edition of the watch. The driver’s seat of the extraordinary vehicles, in which the much celebrated driver achieved many victories, was in fact one of the sources that inspired Eberhard’s technicians, both on the aesthetic and functional levels.

Produced in a limited edition of 123 pieces, “Tazio Nuvolari Grand Prix Or” has a tough case of generous proportions (Ø 43 mm), a case back secured by 8 screws, upon which the autograph of the driver is engraved in red and, on the outer part, an elegant circular-grained finish matching the kilometers per hour tachometer scale on the flange.

The dial, enhanced by the brilliance of the refined “Black Or” finish, is readily visible, thanks to the generous diameter of the two counters, the large Arabic numerals and the luminous hands that make for maximum legibility.

Adding to the obviously sportive character of this model, the interplay of black and red chosen as the dominant colors, endows the watch with a particular toughness: the black provides the background for the dial on which the Arabic numerals stand proudly and for the ceramic bezel, while the red enhances the small details on the dial and the miles per hour tachometer scale engraved on the bezel. The final touch is provided by the black alligator strap that comes alive with the vivacious splash of its red stitching.

This is a timeless, charming proposal with which Eberhard & Co. pays homage once again to the passion for motor cars which has always been associated with the passion for measuring time, creating the perfect combination. So “Tazio Nuvolari Grand Prix Or” becomes synonymous with passion, strength and speed, all fundamental characteristics of the essence of sports racing and its long and deep-rooted tradition, cleverly incorporated in this exclusive chronograph by Eberhard & Co.

Eberhard & Co Scafomatic

SCAFOMATIC is another of the new creations that the House of Eberhard & Co. is presenting on the occasion of Baselworld.

Modern, functional lines, cleverly adapted to the sober, balanced style, which has always distinguished the Swiss House, give this watch model its particularly sporty appearance.

Equipped with an automatic mechanical movement, SCAFOMATIC has a domed sapphire crystal and a generously sized (42 Ø) wholly steel case. The dial, which allows an easy and immediate reading of the time, makes a striking impact and is available in various colour combinations. They all feature a gloss finish on the flange and the regular alternation of large Arabic numerals and trapezoidal indexes in relief, all luminous, guaranteeing maximum visibility.
In a central, commanding position on the case back, the ancient shield of the House provides a symbolic fragment of history that denotes the continuity and tradition to which Eberhard has always adhered.

Water-resistant to 5 atmospheres, SCAFOMATIC is equipped with a black or white rubber strap with a personalised buckle, bearing the initials “E&C”, or a Chicane steel bracelet.

Beguiling, gutsy, rich in temperament: just some of the thousand adjectives that denote… a sporty character for great exploits!
