The event attracted significant interest, with numerous visitors and watch enthusiasts enjoying the opportunity to explore the art of horology. Established in 2019 within the historic Maison de l’Aigle—founded by Georges-Lucien Eberhard in the late 19th century—the Eberhard & Co. Museum is accessible year-round by appointment. It safeguards the brand’s legacy through an exceptional collection of timepieces that chronicle its unbroken history. The exhibition offered an in-depth look at the evolution of Eberhard & Co. watches, from the earliest pocket models to contemporary chronographs, culminating in the Chronographe 1887 timepieces: two exceptional chronographs launched this year, powered by exclusive Eberhard & Co. movements.
During the Biennial, Eberhard & Co. presented a new acquisition for the Museum—a remarkable vintage piece from 1930: a pocket watch with a hand-wound mechanical movement.
This unique timepiece is distinguished by a smooth, carré bicolor case in 18-karat yellow and grey gold. The design is elegant and refined, with a case framing a white dial featuring sophisticated Arabic numerals and black "Scoties" hands. A continuous seconds counter, located at 6 o’clock, mirrors the case’s rounded design, with a chemin-de-fer scale harmonizing with the perimeter minute scale. Of particular note is the convex, shaped mineral glass, perfectly crafted to follow the watch’s rounded contours.
