The brand has a rich history dating back to 1887 and has in recent garnered a reputation for its collections of sporty-looking timepieces and chronographs. However, a lesser-known side of the brand's offering is fine watches of classic and timeless design, with 8 Jours Grande Taille timepieces featuring an 8-day power reserve worthy of special attention.
The first Eberhard & Co. 8 Jours wristwatch was revealed in 1997 in a case measuring 39mm in diameter, with a main barrel flanked by a second one; in 2009, the Grande Taille 41mm case welcomed the valuable complication. Since then, different versions of the 8 Jours Grande Taille have appealed to watch enthusiasts who appreciate traditional watchmaking and seek a timepiece that offers both style and technical prowess. The new updated edition continues to be distinguished by a combination of classic design elements, impressive power-reserve functionality thanks to a pair of overlapping springs, along with fine craftsmanship.
The new 8 Jours Grande Taille is introduced with white or blue dials featuring guilloché finishing, external snailed silver-toned circle, and blue Roman numerals, with "leaf‐shaped" hands in rhodium or blue. The caseback features a porthole-type display revealing the openworked barrel and the two overlapping mainsprings that provide the elegant Eberhard & Co. 8 Jours Grande Taille with its impressive power reserve.
