The Watch
Husband and wife team, Eugene Blum and Alice Levy joined the initials of their names together (Eugène Blum Et Lévy) to form the brand name Ebel in 1911. The La Chaux de Fonds based company was taken over by the couple’s son, Charles in 1932, where he began to focus on branching out overseas before Blum’s grandson Pierre Alain later took over. It was at this point, in 1932 that Ebel began creating wristwatches for Cartier.
In particular, the Sport Classic watch collection by Ebel has proven itself a home run. It reached instant global success when in 1983 it captured collectors’ attention with its hexagonal shaped case with rounded corners. Equipped with the distinctive Ebel Wave bracelet developed under Blum’s direction back in 1977, it combined both an elegant and sporty character in one.
