Eberhard & Co. was founded in 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Neuchâtel, Switzerland by Georges Eberhard. Having gotten an early start by his father and backed by a family heritage of watchmaking dating back to the 10th century, Eberhard was just 22 years of age when he founded the company.
Chrono 4
One noteworthy model was the Chrono 4, which was launched in 2001 and became the world’s first chronograph with its counters arranged in a single row. The breakthrough design was innovated by Palmiro Monti, the brand’s CEO at the time.
Tazio Nuvolari
Eberhard & Co. began sponsoring the Nuvolari Grand Prix sometime in the 1990s, and had launched the ‘Tazio Nuvolari’ collection around 1987. A large number of Tazio Nuvolari models have been released in honor of the Italian pre-Formula 1 Grand Prix driver.
Loris Capirossi
Unveiled at Baselworld 2008, the Eberhard & Co. Chrono 4 Grande Taille “Capirex” edition was created in honor of nine-time 500cc/MotoGP race winner Loris Capirossi. The limited edition was available in a rose gold or steel case, the latter with different dial options: Black subdials on a black dial, and white subdials on a black or white dial. All three had a limited production run of 65 piece each.
Contograf Dallara
The Eberhard & Co. Contograf Dallara was announced in 2024. The Dallara logo features on the dial, along with yellow subdials. 50 pieces were made, and were exclusively available to Dallara employees or owners of the Dallara Stradale.
Dallara first became a Formula 1 constructor with BMS Scuderia Italia from 1988 to 1992. The Italian manufacturer next appeared on the Grand Prix grid with Hispania during the 2010 season, and has worked with the Haas F1 Team since 2015.
