EBERHARD & CO 8 Jours Grande Taille

[Ernie Romers]

Perpetuating its tradition of grand watches, Eberhard & Co has reinterpreted one of its classics in a large-sized pink gold case: the legendary 8 Jours, so called because it has an autonomy of eight days thanks to its patented winding mechanism. Part of its precious mechanism has now been unveiled. A porthole on the back reveals the bridge of the large skeleton barrel with its gilded figure “8”: a three-dimensional view that shows the exceptionally long (125 cm) second winding spring at work.
