A worthy ambassador of this memorable anniversary, the new Ebel Classic 100 bears the indelible imprint of the brand's noble heritage. Issued in a limited series of 1911 pieces, the Classic 100 is endowed with a vintage design featuring a meticulously polished and brushed case. The powerful sense of harmony exuded by this 40 mm diameter model reflects the spirit of architectural purity cherished by Ebel. Elegant and understated, the Ebel Classic 100 is entirely in tune with current minimalistic trends.

The classic round shape of the case is matched by a face distinguished by its restrained aesthetic. The leaf-shaped hour and minute hands glide over an immaculate backdrop, escorted by a blue sweep-seconds hand. Four applied baton-shaped hour-markers provide spatial points of reference, while the date appears in its traditional place at 3 o'clock. In tribute to the authenticity of a brand that has remained unwaveringly faithful to its roots, the original logo sets the seal on one hundred years of excellence.

At once vintage and modern, the Ebel Classic 100 is intended for those who value the essentials - as confirmed by its classic mechanical automatic movement. This model, with its blend of functionality and emotional appeal, is already rightly considered the heritage watch from the Ebel brand. A heritage that is undoubtedly destined to endure.

 

Ebel – The Architectes of Time

Shaping time. Giving it body and soul. Instilling it with eternal values. Since 1911, Ebel has borne the imprint of time. Its watches epitomize excellence and a passion for design. They inspire an enduring fascination for age-old skills and boundless enthusiasm for aesthetic elegance. They represent timeless and indelible incarnations of time as the ultimate raw material.

At the heart of Ebel watches beats an incredible artistic signature, one that shares with the finest architects a tireless quest for absolute beauty and perfection. One that honors know-how and talent. Founded in 1911 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Eugène Blum and Alice Lévy, the Ebel brand has built its reputation upon cardinal values uniting classical elegance and sculptural designs with a passion for fine workmanship and watchmaking mastery. As Ebel celebrates a century of existence, these pioneering values have been preserved intact.

The collections have been constantly reinterpreted and enriched over the decades with in-house movements and new models forming four contemporary and innovative lines: Beluga, Brasilia, Ebel Classic and 1911.
