THE CHRONOGRAPH REVOLUTION BECOMES EVEN BIGGER
Once again, CHRONO4 by Eberhard & Co. has a surprise in store. It was at the beginning of the new millennium that, for the first time, the Swiss Maison presented this impressive model that revolutionised reading the time and interpreted it in a completely novel way. Now the chronograph is launched in a new version as GRANDE TAILLE.
CHRONO4 GRANDE TAILLE matches perfectly the most recent trend towards oversized watches. It is available in a sportive version in stainless steel or in red gold for those that prefer the elegance of precious metals.
The generously dimensioned case (Ø 43mm) hides a mechanical movement with automatic winding. Like all the other Chrono4 models by Eberhard & Co. it is characterized by an exclusive feature: its four counters are arranged in a horizontal row, which makes reading the time a logical and consequent operation. The display follows a natural progression of time: minutes and hours hand, 24 hours and small seconds hand. This revolutionary device, Patent Pending, developed by Eberhard & Co. in many years of research, is based on a remarkable overall construction that could only be materialised by a leading watch-making enterprise. Just think of the fact that no less than 53 rubies are at work here to get an idea of how refined this movement is.
CHRONO4 GRANDE TAILLE is innovative not only because of its present size, but also because of the scrupulous care expended on all details on which the Maison has always attached great importance.
A special feature of the CHRONO 4 GRANDE TAILLE, steel version, is the use of rubber not only in the crown with an "E" in relief, standing for Eberhard, but also in the push buttons where the material adorns the circumference. In the red gold version, the rubber is used only for the crown.
CHRONO 4 GRANDE TAILLE is protected by a non-reflecting sapphire glass, and it is water-resistant up to 3 or 5 atm, depending on the version.
The stainless steel variant is available with a black rubber strap featuring as a special adornment an "E" in relief on the side, the well-known emblem of the Maison. The red gold version has a crocodile leather strap with a buckle in 18 ct. red gold.
CHRONO4 GRANDE TAILLE: an important chronograph with revolutionary dimensions.
