EBERHARD & CO. CELEBRATES TAZIO NUVOLARI
The transition from champion to GOLD CAR 130th Anniversary of the "Flying Mantuan"
1892: Tazio Nuvolari is born, the greatest driver of all time, an example of dedication, commitment and strong passion in the automotive world. A pioneer of racing to which Eberhard & Co. dedicated an important collection of chronographs on the occasion of his birth’s centenary.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

There are some people in the history of sport that cannot be defined merely as ‘champions’. When they exceed the limits set by their time and enter the superhuman ‘Hall of Fame’ of those who have broken all barriers by crossing the line of the inconceivable, it is then that they undergo the natural progression that turns them into legends. Tazio Nuvolari, the champion driver who dominated the decades between 1920 and the late forties, is quite obviously such a sportsman.

When, almost 30 years ago, Eberhard & Co. decided to celebrate his enterprises by creating a collection that bears his name, the figure of Tazio had become shrouded by the mists of time and all that had happened in the world of motoring since his era. It is also because of the efforts of the famous Swiss Maison and the success of the ‘Tazio Nuvolari’ collection that this mist has lifted.

Eberhard & Co. has been the main sponsor of the Nuvolari Grand Prix for over twenty years. In this role and through the many models of watches he has inspired, the Maison has helped enormously in paying tribute to the ‘Mantovano Volante’, proudly aware of the fact that the champion of technical perfectionism chose an Eberhard to accompany him in everyday life.
The Tazio Nuvolari collection mainly consists of sports watches, and many versions have been added to it over the years. Some of these have been inspired by great victories or enterprises realized by the champion. The latest, Nuvolari GOLD CAR, seeks to celebrate the essence of the man and of the sportsman, consecrating him among those who will never be forgotten.
IN CELEBRATION OF THE 130TH ANNIVERSARY
2022: on the 130th birth anniversary of the "Flying Mantuan", Eberhard & Co. pays tribute with a new chronograph, featuring a 41 mm steel case offered in two dial versions, both enhanced by a “frappé helical” motif.

The bezel shows the typical “perlage” finishing and engraving of the scale in miles. The watch is enriched by the carapace that contains the initials "TN" and by details in yellow, the champion's lucky color.
