Description:
 
Ebel was founded in 1911 by Eugène Blum and Alice Lévy in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The brand quickly became renowned for its high-quality Swiss craftsmanship and innovative designs. Ebel's focus on luxury and elegance made it a prominent name in the watch industry.
 
The company gained particular attention for its bracelet watches, with its signature integrated metal bracelets, which combined form and function. Ebel was often referred to as the "architect of time," thanks to its architectural approach to watchmaking, emphasizing clean, refined lines and symmetry.
 
Over the years, Ebel has produced various collections, including the Ebel Classic and the Ebel 1911, which continue to embody sophistication and precision. The brand is also known for incorporating advanced mechanical movements and offering models with a combination of steel, gold, and diamonds for added luxury.
 
Presented in a square stainless steel 28.5mm case this watch features a Swiss manual wind movement. With a sophisticated clean mono-chromatic aesthetic this watch is perfect for business or casual wear. It features a slightly domed square acrylic crystal, snap back case-back, and 16mm lug width. With a creamy white/silver dial the watch has stainless steel baton hour markers as well as similar applied indices at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The dial reads the brand name “Ebel” as well as the model name “President” and the label “Superprecision” to denote the high accuracy movement for the time period. Additionally, the watch face features a Jewellers stamp which can be highly sought after by particular collectors. The watch advertised here has the name “GOSEN” on the dial which likely denotes the original jewellery store that offered the watch for sale.
 
This particular item shows some signs of wear consistent with age. The acrylic crystal has a small hairline crack on the left side of the dial. As for the function, it winds well, and is running accurately and as expected of a watch of this quality, age, and time period. The watch has not been recently serviced.
 
That said, this is a vintage item, and its performance should be taken into consideration with its age. The watch should not be considered waterproof unless tested by a watchmaker first.
 
Also included is a velvet pouch for storage as well as a polishing cloth – both new and unused items.
 
As the watch sold here is a vintage item, it does not come with the original packaging or paperwork.
