1887 was a year due to remember. With only 22 years old, in the swiss La Chaux-de-Fonds, George-Emile Eberhard founded his Manufacture d'Horlogerie Eberhard & Co. His genius and dare not only were the responsible for a successful company, but soon after it's foundations, it's masterpieces became world wide known for it's quality, ambition and refined taste. "Innovation and tradition" was the company motto, and after 120 years of solid history, all it's masterpieces are worth of placing at any museum. Besides counting time, they exhale style, liberty, elegance, and an excellent, refined taste, that only a Swiss brand as Eberhard could be accounted for. Celebrating it's foundation, and being one of the oldest companies on the planet, the craftsmen of this notorious brand created it's most newest masterpiece, the Eberhard 120th Anniversary, available in five versions, one of them a ladies watch, launched along with an exhibition of the 120 years of history and watch craft, at a very exclusive and sumptuous party, at the Castel Sant'Angelo, close to the Tiber and the Vatican city.

In all versions, nothing has been left at random. Through it's back one can see this luxury watch mechanical masterpiece, with a gold rotor with the 120 digits and the laterally engraved Eberhard company's name, as well as the Limited edition and the anniversary word, both in French. This 5 atm water resistant premium watch with 42 mm in diameter exhales beauty and elegance. It's Arabic numerals are set alongside in an alternated way, with the date discretely integrated in arch at 8 o'clock between the day of the week and the chronograph visor. On top, the words 120éme anniversaire and the Eberhard trade mark leave no space for a doubt, this is truly a limited edition, as it can be seen from the engraved left lateral. It's sophisticated pointers are big enough to be seen, and add style to the masterpiece. Available in steel with two different movements, "à came" and "roue à colonnes" (500 pieces), in gold and in platinum , with the "roue à colonnes" movement (240 and 120 limited pieces).
