Ebel In the male-dominated world of watches, Ebel is a remarkable exception. The brand was founded by a man and a woman, the couple Eugène Blum and Alice Lévy. The chosen brand name, registered on July 15, 1911, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, is formed by the initials of Eugène Blum Et Lévy, or 'EBEL'. Ebel quickly made a name for itself as a manufacturer of decorative jewelry watches. In October 1929, son Charles Blum joined the company, and together with watchmaker Marcel Reuche, he further refined the production process. The qualities of Ebel soon gained recognition outside Switzerland, and during World War II, the brand became a supplier to the British Royal Air Force. Over its more than 100 years of existence, Ebel has developed a number of exceptional movements and watches that have made the brand world-famous. The SporEbelt Classique from 1977 is particularly legendary. Ebel commemorates a sporty icon of the Swiss watch house from the 1970s with the Ebel Discovery. The new, modern Ebel Discovery has a sporty appearance with a very elegant look. The case is held in place with five prominent, functional screws that contribute to a powerful appearance. Eleven diamonds (0.072 ct.) shine on the mother-of-pearl dial. The watch houses a Swiss ETA Quartz movement and is water-resistant up to 100 meters.
