Eberhard & Co are one of those old old brands that seem to sit simmering away in the background, while others noisily chase the spotlight, only to explode when everyone’s least expecting, with show-stopping watches like the iconic Chrono 4 or the massive Traverstolo. It is easy to be beguiled by this appearance of nonchalance and yet a quick glance through the mighty tome of a catalogue is enough to betray a brand fully alert and focused on today’s market.
