Hi - in my somewhat MANIC search for Eberhard vintage gold chronos I came across this case hallmark and was curious exactly how this came about ? Or how it 'left' ?
The first pic is of the hallmarks for the 1930s Eberhard gold chrono I picked up at a London Auction 2 weeks ago - Emre was kind enough to provide some commentary on the case manufacturer.
Now I have found an original black dial, Eberhard chrono that looks like the same era - as the second pic shows, the hallmarks are all similar - and in the same relative position on the inside gold case (not an easy feat as watch companies seem to change these hallmarks and their positioning a lot) with a serial number placing this Watch very close to the one I just acquired - this second watch in the hallmarks also has the 'C' for caret in contrast to a 'K' also as Emre pointed out.... but what's up with the Eberhard signature which seems to have been curiously obliterated ???????
Not sure what's up here ! Cheers, Scott
