The Watch
Here we have a curvaceous 2010s Ebel 1911 Automatic Chronometer 9120L41, this creative line of watches celebrates the Ebel founding date of 1911. With its 39mm brushed stainless steel case that sits comfortably on your wrist thanks to the stubby rounded lugs, lug-to-lug length of 43.5mm and a case thickness of 9mm. On the right side, recessed into the case, is a push/pull crown with deep knurling for grip and a slot in the top to mimic the five screws surrounding the smooth polished bezel, a nice detail touch. A flat sapphire crystal sits above a striking silver sector dial. An outer minute chapter ring is precisely executed with lume pips surrounding a concentric circular ring with applied polished chamfer-edged dagger indexes marking the hours that magically capture the light as you rotate your wrist; at 3 o’clock, a date window, a sunburst patterned centre circle has polished steel hands tipped with lume and complemented by a sweeping tapered second hand, at noon we have the Ebel motif and at 6 o’clock “Automatic Chronometer” completing this sophisticated dress watch. On the reverse a screwed-down case back engraved with “1911” and the details of the watch, inside an automatic Ebel Cal. 120, 21 jewels based on the ETA 2892-A2. The watch comes paired with a 20mm polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet secured by a concealed clasp; all links are provided. The watch comes with its Ebel presentation box and unsigned paperwork.
Personal Note
The Ebel 1911 is a classic and instantly recognisable watch that collectors seem to be gravitating more towards as time goes on. References like this 39mm Automatic 9120L41 can still be picked up for a great price and offer incredible value for your money. I wouldn't hesitate on this one if you are interested!
The Brand
Eugene Blum and Alice Levy, husband and wife, joined their initials together (Eugène Blum Et Lévy) to form the brand name Ebel in 1911. Based in La Chaux de Fonds, the company was taken over by their son, Charles, in 1932, where he began to concentrate the business, branching out overseas before Blum’s grandson Pierre Alain took over. It was at this point, in 1932, that Ebel began creating wristwatches for Cartier. Later, Ebel became part of the LVMH Group and then Movado Group by the end of 2003.
