Eberhard & Co. opens the doors of its historic headquarters for special visits during the 11th Biennial of Watchmaker's Heritage Days, celebrating the rich tradition of Swiss horology. This event highlights the Brand’s birthplace, La Chaux-de-Fonds, along with the nearby town of Le Locle, both recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2009

During the event, visitors are invited to explore the Eberhard & Co. Museum, which operates by appointment throughout the year, located inside the iconic Maison de l’Aigle, established by Georges-Lucien Eberhard in the late 1800s.

Inaugurated in 2019, the Museum showcases the Brand's cultural legacy and features an impressive collection of timepieces that reflect the Maison’s uninterrupted history.

With only two families at the helm throughout its journey, Eberhard & Co. has preserved its identity and spirit of independence through 137 years of exceptional creations. Attendees will experience the Maison’s evolution through a diverse selection of historical pieces, including pocket watches from the late 19th century, early wrist chronographs, elegant ladies’ watches, and sporty men’s models, illustrating Eberhard & Co.’s development over the decades while remaining true to its core values: research, quality, technique.

This curated experience culminates in the present, with a special focus devoted to the Chronographe 1887 timepieces presented this year, powered by exclusive Eberhard & Co. calibers. The two models, paying tribute to the founding year of the Maison, embody in a contemporary form the technical and aesthetical excellence and innovation that have consistently defined Eberhard & Co., echoing in their design some distinctive characteristics of celebrated chronographs from the 1930s and beyond.
