Robin,
Before posting here I did a web research about Eberhard and it seems that there are quite a few information about the brand, even about who owns it.
I'm assuming that is an independent, owned by Palmiro Mont (Curious note - there is a family on my hometown with the same last name).
I continue to try to obtain more info.
Cheers,
Nilo

Eberhard Co - A chronograph that I seldom see ..
By: nilomis : January 27th, 2014-09:09
Team, Yesterday with our flea market incursion canceled (the protesters against the Soccer World Cup - my feeling is that this go to escalate as soon we close to the World Cup opening) we went to a coffee shop and a friend was wearing this one. I searched...
Bonus point ...

It's "by Vlad appointment", meaning no date. Cheers, Nilo
Eberhard made some amazing manufacture chronographs
By: Goldenlutin : January 27th, 2014-14:46
The one you show is not that old and probably has a Lemania inside. Older ones had manufacture movements, like the one below. It was the first chronograph (calibre 310-82) with digital date (single disc). A lot of people think that the Landeron 189 was th...
Your Eberhard is ...

To die for. Gorgeous. Eberhard is a very interesting brand and it deserves more "airtime", just as Nicolas stated. Congratulations, Nilo
Great pieces...

I really like the piece with moonphase.
Gorgeous !

Forget the World Cup ... LOL Beautiful biocompax layout and a very clean dial. A hidden gem indeed. U guys are having some serious collection in samba city.
Thank you but ...

Sāo Paulo was named the tomb of samba by one of the composers of The Girl From Ipanema. Cheers, Nilo
A rare sight indeed!

Thanks for sharing Nilo I seldom read about Eberhard or see them here. This gold chrono looks great! I wish brands still make chronos like this one, without Dates, with such a classic layout and such beautiful cases. cheers robin

As others have suggested...
By: Tony C. : January 27th, 2014-19:32
Eberhard has a long history of manufacturing fine chronographs. They also, in my view, hold a fairly important place in the development of early (i.e. '50s and early '60s) dive watches. Not so much because of great technical breakthroughs, but very good m...
+1Tony!

Thanks blomman!

Love the strap that you have on yours, as well. Cheers, Tony C.
Thanks Nico...

it's certainly the jewel in the crown of my (mostly) modest dive watch collection. Best, Tony
A beauty Tony and thoughts on Eberhard
By: RDL : January 28th, 2014-04:58
Tony, your Scafograf is a beauty. A great watch. I also like the Scientifigraf. For me, without being able to exactly pinpoint why, Eberhard is a bit like Longines and Movado (all 3 of them BTW loved by Italian collectors specifically - and we know they a...
Thank you, and I agree...
By: Tony C. : January 28th, 2014-07:49
Longines and Movado have long been two of my favorites as well. Your points, and our similar paths underscore one of the sublime joys of vintage watch collecting: the deeper one digs, the more interesting and enjoyable the process becomes! Cheers, Tony C....
Eberhard & Co.
By: deBalzac : January 28th, 2014-14:34
Eberhard has made many beautiful watches over the years, I have the Huit Jours (8 days) with a Peseux 7001 movement highly modified with twin barrels and power-reserve indicator (Eberhard cal. 896-8J). Eberhard & Co is an independent watch company own...
Great watch ...
By: nilomis : January 28th, 2014-14:39
Livius, Beautiful piece. I do remember some shots that you posted. I'm glad to learn that Eberhard is an independent company. Cheers, Nilo
Oldflyer
By: deBalzac : January 29th, 2014-01:24
I found some information about your friends Eberhard. The model is called Oldflyer Vitré and is from the Avio Collection. It was made in the late 1990's. The movement is a Valjoux 7733. LdB ...
Great info ...
By: nilomis : January 29th, 2014-04:48
Livius, Thank you very much. I go to try to get a picture of the case back of my friend's watch in order to compare with the one that you found. Cheers, Nilo
Ouch! ...
By: Marcus Hanke : January 31st, 2014-03:37
In my opinion, this rough, "bare-bones" movement is an insult to the wonderfully elegant appearance of the whole watch. I think that a solid caseback would have been a much better choice. Marcus
nice Chrono Nilo, but i think the older Eberhards were better
By: G99 : January 30th, 2014-01:52
they have a certain under the radar desirability and the brand covers everything from Divers as shown, to chrono's to 8 day manual winds. if i knew more about them i would be looking for a 1964 model, but i havent worked out how to date them yet. nice exa...
Unfortunately, Eberhard lost itself ...
By: Marcus Hanke : January 31st, 2014-03:47
... in its expensive development of the "Chrono4", the 7750's re-arrangement of subcounters in a line. From then on, this "design" has been beaten to death and beyond. My wife's Chronomaster "Frecce Tricolori" is still her favourite watch, in spite of the...
Thank you for this information ...
By: Marcus Hanke : February 1st, 2014-15:39
... I did not know about the 2892 base. I never doubted the mechanical effort necessary to achieve this new layout, nor the value of this design per se. However, Eberhard appeared to focus on the Chrono 4 almost exclusively for a long time. For me, Eberha...
Eberhard golden age
By: Noodia : February 1st, 2014-10:26
The 60s Eberhard production cited by Tony and others (Scafograf, Scientigraf without to forget the Contograf) are appealing and highly collectible IMO. We could also speak about the Contodat, first chronograph with date, the gold case execution with its t...
Great lesson ...

Laurent, Thank you very much for sharing part of Eberhard history. Great reference. Cheers, Nilo
