Eberhard Watches – Independent Swiss Watchmaking Since 1887
Eberhard Watches represent one of the most respected independent names in Swiss watchmaking, combining over 135 years of innovation, precision engineering and mechanical expertise. Founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1887 by Georges-Lucien Eberhard, the brand quickly established itself as a pioneer in chronograph development and technical watchmaking. Throughout its history, Eberhard has remained independently operated, allowing it to pursue innovation while preserving the traditional craftsmanship and mechanical excellence that define Swiss horology. Today, Eberhard Watches continue to attract collectors seeking authentic heritage, distinctive design and genuine watchmaking substance.

From early wrist chronographs and military timepieces to the revolutionary Chrono 4 and legendary Scafograf dive watches, the company has earned a reputation for combining technical ingenuity with timeless design. The result is a collection of Swiss luxury watches that balance historic significance with modern performance and everyday wearability.

This patented layout transformed chronograph design and remains unique within the luxury watch industry today. Chrono 4 models have become icons of modern Swiss watchmaking and continue to define the Eberhard brand.
Scafograf
The Scafograf collection represents Eberhard's rich diving heritage. First launched in 1959, Scafograf dive watches quickly gained a reputation for reliability and underwater performance.
