Introduction
The Architects of Time
Since 1911, The Architects of Time have dedicated their talents, their passion and
their creativity to designing and crafting distinctive watches that exercise an
enduring fascination.
Preliminary sketches, scale models, noble materials, harmonious proportions,
original curves, smooth textures, finishing details: Ebel watch-making shares a
vocabulary with architecture that goes far beyond linguistics to encompass the
quintessential spirit of these two equally demanding disciplines.
In watch-making as in architecture, a blend of artistic refinement and technical
precision gives rise to works conveying a wealth of purpose and emotions. While
clearly intended to fulfill one or several specific practical functions, the forms of
true architectural creations – be they buildings or watches – are pervaded by an
unmistakable sense of aesthetic sophistication and remarkable artistry.
For each and every Ebel watch, from the research and development stage throu-
ghout production, cutting-edge technology and outstanding know-how merge
with visionary inspiration and constant innovation, all governed by the high quality
standards inherent to the Architects of Time.
