Inspiration is a dime a dozen – and even closer for EBEL. The watch brand was already inspired in the past by La Maison EBEL, a villa designed and built by Le Corbusier himself and acquired by EBEL in 1986. With this architectural masterpiece in the quiver, it was clear that a watch would follow sooner or later, and so the models in the 1911 series pay tribute to the Maison EBEL. Launched in 1986 to mark the 75th anniversary of the brand, EBEL is now relaunching its 1911 product line. The five bezel screws are a nod to the five design principles for which the Maison EBEL is known. The 34 mm EBEL 1911 Grande also enchants with its luxurious mother-of-pearl dial in a warm ochre tone, the hexagonal case and ten diamond indices that emphasize its luxuriousness. Depending on your mood, the look of the model can be varied using different bracelets and adapted to the respective outfit. The EBEL 1911 Grande is a classic beauty that particularly appeals to us in 18-carat yellow gold and stainless steel. A classic for eternity, which also comes with a date window and diamond-cut hour, minute and second hands, and wraps us around its finger every time we look at our wrist. EBEL, “1911 Grande”, ca. 4’400.- (ebel.com).
