Eberhard & Co | 20th anniversary of its Chrono 4 model

Eberhard & Co has unveiled an anniversary piece celebrating the 20th anniversary of its Chrono 4 model.

The history of this timepiece began in 2001, when brand CEO Palmiro Monti sought to find a technical way to make reading chronographs more intuitive than the typical three counters at 12, 3 and 9 o’clock.

After several attempts, in 2001 he made his dream come true by patenting an additional device to the base movement enabling four counters to be aligned in a logical and aesthetically pleasing way.

The Chrono 4 was an immediate success. Consumers understood it was revolutionary and rewarded it with results that exceeded expectations, which encouraged Eberhard & Co to offer other, highly attractive, versions of this mechanical jewel.

The new Chrono 4 embodies all the technical expertise developed by the House over almost 140 years of dedication to chronography, with a visual appeal in keeping with contemporary styling. The case is 42mm in diameter, the most popular size in today’s sports watches market.

Eberhard continues to innovate today as it did in 2001, in the wake of a watch that has revolutionised the measurement of time and to celebrate a timepiece that constitutes an important landmark in the history of watchmaking.
