This vintage Eberhard & Co. Pre Extra-Fort Chronograph is a striking timepiece from circa 1935. Its 40mm 18K yellow gold case features a unique double-hinged design, exemplifying exquisite craftsmanship. The chronograph's oval pushers—start/stop/reset at 2 o’clock and a slide function at 4 o’clock for halting/restarting without resetting—add a functional distinction. The original silvered dial, adorned with baton numerals, outer telemeter scale, and inner spiral tachymeter scale, is complemented by two engine-turned subsidiary dials. The watch is powered by the robust manual-winding Eberhard Caliber 16'', based on the Valjoux 65, ensuring precision and reliability. Accompanied by a bronze metal box, an extract from the archive, and its original buckle, this piece stands as a testament to Eberhard’s heritage and technical ingenuity.
