G  EORGES-EMILE EBERHARD


1865
Georges-Emile Eberhard was born at Saint-Imier, Switzerland, in 1865, of a Bernese family that has traced its ancestry right back into the 10th century A.D. Being a watchmaker, his father initiated him to all the secrets of the watchmaker's art so that it took little more than two decades for him to become the founder of a veritable manufactory.

1987
Georges-Emile was only 22 when he founded his Manufacture d'Horlogerie Eberhard & Co. in the Swiss town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, and having presented its first pocket-watch chronograph under its very name, the company was soon included in those venerable circles that were noted for making precision timepieces of the highest grade

1888 - 1926
It was in these years that the Maison Eberhard & Co. found and maintained its place in the world market for chronometers and chronographs, an achievement obviously owed to the pronounced entrepreneur spirit of its founder. The name of Eberhard & Co. became synonymous with that high measure of meticulous workmanship and progressiveness which attracted the special esteem of people to whom life is a matter of adventure and challenge. Typically enough, it was for explorers, sportsmen or pilots same as for businessmen and people with a flair for things special to discover in timepieces by Eberhard & Co. those special values and virtues which will at once distinguish the uniqueness of the object and its owner's personality.

1926
From this year onwards, Georges-Emile's heirs took full charge of the Maison, with a keen eye on the portents of the new age and its belief in progress and on upholding that tradition which was meanwhile being universally associated with the concept of "watches by Eberhard & Co".
