Ebel watches
W.B
Gatwards are proud to stock many of the leading watch brands and Ebel is no
exception to this rule. Ebel, like Gatwards, has a strong family history. It
was founded in 1911 by husband and wife team Eugene Blum and Alice Levy in La
Choux- de- Fonds, Switzerland. Together they worked on matching technical
prowess with elegant designs; a theme which has continued strongly throughout
Ebel’s history.
Blum and Levy launched their first
wristwatch in 1912 against the then current trend for pocket watches, but Ebel
flourished. The history of Ebel is dotted with awards for design and technical
expertise, notably winning their first award in 1914.
The company continued to
grow throughout the early 20th century and it was when Blum and
Levy’s son joined the company in 1929
that Ebel first exhibited at the world famous Basle exhibition in Switzerland;
an event that they still attend today. The designs exhibited by Ebel then took
the technical prowess of Eugene Blum and combined it with the elegant designs
of Alice Levy, and the same is still true today. For example the Beluga
collection that was launched in 1985 is the ‘pillar of quintessential
femininity’.
Ebel was run and controlled by the family
until 2004 when it was acquired by the Movado Group. This acquisition has not changed
the fundamental principles on which Ebel was founded, quality and elegance. A
look at the the collections will highlight this. Ladies and Gents watches are available.
Ebel Wave
This iconic design has been present in the
collection since 1977- always being refined and updated. The supple and comfortable construction of
the bracelet has ensured that this watch has been very popular with customers
for many years.
Beluga
The soft, feminine contours of this watch
case lift the ordinary to the exceptional. This is a wristwatch that is also a
piece of jewellery.
Brasilia
This modern and youthful approach to watch
design has made this a very popular style. The softened corners of the
rectangle case keep this watch looking feminine.
Ebel Sport
Fineness and technical prowess is not just
reserved for the ladies within the Ebel brand. The dynamic design, with the
update of the Classic Wave bracelet and the hexagon case, make this an
eye-catching modern classic. Ladies and
Gents watches are both available.
Ebel 100
To highlight the history of this brand,
Ebel launched the Ebel 100. Inspired by their history this collection combines
tradition with luxury.
