Founded by Georges Eberhard when he was only 22 years old, the Manufacture d’Horlogerie Eberhard & Co in La Chaux-de-Fonds was established in 1887. As a result of rigorous research and technological breakthrough, the brand introduced their frst exquisite split-seconds chronograph model in 1939. The present watch incorporates a unique movement, in which the pusher integrated into the winding crown controls the split-seconds function. The split seconds mechanism is triggered when the pusher is pressed, and the function stops when the pusher is released. The present lot is an intriguing watch with its astonishing design and history. The case, dial, and movement are in excellent condition, serving as testimony to very careful protection over the past years. This watch will defnitely be a splendid asset for any collectors seeking an exceptional and unusual split seconds chronograph in great condition.

This lot is sold without reserve
