Never seen this brand before, Leslie.

You have a very interesting collection of vintage watches.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words.

Eberhard have been around for a very long time and are generally regarded as a chronograph specialist.

Here's their web-page: http://www.eberhard-co-watches.ch/en/

My watch is a prototype of what was subsequently re-issued in a limited run of 250 samples, world wide.

I had the strap custom made for me recently as the original strap was starting to show signs of ageing.

It's the best salmon dial rep I've come across, and in 20 years the gold plate has worn off the crown, but the rest of it looks pretty damn good for its age.

I do like my pieces immaculate.

Omg I presume reps were bought and sold at marketplaces back then? Or do you fax orders across :lol:

No, I purchased a substantial amount of watches from a US based collector who was hit hard by the GFC and needed funds.

It now turns out that I may have paid a tad too much for some pieces, but I don't really care as they're from an era when reps were built to last (never had to service a single rep yet).
