    Hello to all,
    So I am somewhat taken with this Eberhard chrono I stumbled across, but I am finding info. on the company very, very hard to come by. Aside from the scant information available on their website and on Wikipedia, are there any other resources the resourceful members of OF can guide me towards? :)

    Unfortunately I am no expert in Eberhard watches but quite a few people (myself included) seem to think that they made some of the nicest chronograph movements, period. I am a fan.

    Eberhard is a well-known brand, and some references are quite collectible. Not familiar with this particular one, but that case and racing dial configuration are likely late '60's early '70s. I've seen similar dials from Vulcain and Heuer.
