**Eberhard & Co** is a Swiss watch manufacturer.

This company was founded [[1887]] in [[La Chaux-de-Fonds]] by [[Eberhard, Georges|Georges Eberhard]]. He then is only 22 years old. Primarily precision watches and [[chronograph]]s are produced. Already in [[1919]] the first wrist chronograph is presented.

In [[1935]] an innovative stop watch with two pushers is developed, which allows start and stop without reset. In [[1938]], the first wrist chronograph with hour counter is presented.

In the 1930s, the precise Eberhard watches are worn by officers of the Italian Navy.

Towards the end of the [[1950]]s the first model of the series //Extra-fort// is brought on the market. Here the second counter is accomplished by a single slider.

In [[1984]] the model "Chronomaster" is published in cooperation with the Italian aerobatic aviation team "Frecce Tricolori". In [[1987]], at the 100th anniversary of the brand, the collection "Navymaster" is presented.

In [[1992]] Eberhard & Co., in honor of the Italian racing idol Tazio Nuvolari, brings a chronograph specially dedicated to him on the market. On the basis of this model later an entire collection is created.

In recent years, Eberhard & Co. gained awareness especially by a watch with [[eight-day movement]] and by [[chronograph]]s with a patented 4-row counter display.

The brand, which since long has its headquarters in the well-known watchmaking town [[Biel]], enjoys a great popularity especially in Italy. It is now also working hard to increase its visibility in other countries.
