Eberhard 120th Anniversary Chronograph

Remember that Eberhard 120th anniversary chronograph I mentioned here a few weeks ago? The one that was revealed to us in a shadow, as it were?

Eberhard informed us that it would be unveiling a new chronograph to mark their 120th anniversary. We were shown a picture of the chronograph’s display back (see below), and informed that the rest of the watch would be revealed later.

Eberhard has now unveiled the whole thing (see below). I must say, I didn’t expect it to look like this, but then again, I suppose the real fun was in guessing how it would turn out. But for the suspense generated by Eberhard in showing us only the display back, this watch would certainly not have caught my attention.

Eberhard is about to celebrate its 120th anniversary, and it is doing so in the time-honoured fashion of watchmakers all across the land: it is unveiling a new chronograph.

So far, so predictable. But to create a little more anticipation than normal in the run-up to the launch, Eberhard has kindly released a photo of the display back.

There. Make of that what you will. It suppose it will be a fun game trying to guess what the chronograph looks like, and then, when it is finally unveiled, ascertaining how far off the mark you were.

The watch will be unveiled to adoring gaze on 1 October 2007 at the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome. Never mind if you can’t make it. Watch and Marvel will be on hand to bring you all the news.
