For nearly a century, the name Ebel has been synonymous with classic, elegant time pieces. The success and widespread adoption of these wristwatches has helped the company earn the title "The Architects of Time"--and rightfully so! Few other watchmakers offer precision, beauty and durability like Ebel.It began in 1911, when the Ebel brand was established by Eugene Blum and Alice Levy. The company, named after its founders (Eugene Blum Et Levy), went on to manufacture its first watch in 1912. Since then, Ebel has released some of the world's most unique and luxurious timepieces--many of which can be found on the wrists of people throughout the globe.
Quality and precision are the foundation of this Swiss company. Ebel ladies' watches use only the finest materials, including precious gemstones and superior metals. Yellow gold, 316L stainless steel, flawless diamonds, and calf and crocodile skin are among the reasons Ebel watches are a coveted possession. Perhaps the most well-known Ebel watches are those with the signature mother of pearl faces. Imported from Japan, the pearls used in these watches are of the highest grade available. A thin layer of pearl is set atop another color to give the face a subtle sheen of color.
Each timepiece requires the expertise of an Ebel watchmaker. Calculation and exactness are used in the gem selection and setting. Even the leather watch bands are stitched by hand. As a result, Ebel watch repair should only be done by qualified professionals.
While the classic gold, diamond-crusted Ebel watches remain a favorite among shoppers, the company also produces casual sports watches. The company continues to be an innovator in the watch industry. In 2004, Ebel signed Claudia Schiffer as the corporate spokesperson--further validating the company's reputation and dedication to sophistication and grace. Shoppers can take heart, though, because Ebel watch discounts are available for those willing to look.
