EBERHARD & CO. CELEBRATES THE 110TH ANNIVERSARY OF ALFA ROMEO WITH A NEW LIMITED EDITION TIMEPIECE
Eberhard & Co. has further strengthened its bond with historic Italian brand Alfa Romeo. In the wake of the success of the Quadrifoglio Verde model in 2019, the Maison has created a new limited edition chronograph to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the car manufacturer.

The Eberhard & Co. 110th Alfa Romeo Anniversary chronograph has a 42 mm steel case. Sporty yet refined, the case houses the automatic chronograph movement and three counters. The reset function with coaxial push button is on the crown at 3 o’clock. Water resistant to 30 metres, the piece has a flat sapphire glass caseback, which is personalised with engravings and the Alfa Romeo logo, and closed with 6 screws.

The tachymeter scale embraces the white dial – inspired by the world of
automobiles – which features a raised engraving of the new Alfa Romeo celebratory
logo (featuring two number “1” that follow a perspective line which
represents the transition from past to present, culminating in the
number “0”, inside which is a Biscione) to emphasise the historic
landmark. The watch is available with a grey rubberised fabric strap.
“We are proud to reinforce our bond with Alfa Romeo by creating a watch dedicated to the brand’s 110th anniversary, in the wake of the success of the “Quadrifoglio Verde” chronograph, which in 2019 was highly sought-after by the public – especially motoring enthusiasts – and quickly sold out. This is the perfect occasion to celebrate the affinity we share with the creator of the Biscione, namely our desire to conduct technical and technological research and design, not to mention our strong ties with the past. The partnership is founded on characteristics common to both brands, such as the constant drive to innovate, attention to every detail and careful design decisions, which are showcased in the models defined by pure lines, the perfect combination of sporty and refined design,” said Mario Peserico, General Manager of Eberhard & Co..
