Eberhard & Co. presents all the variations of CONTODAT

CONTODAT Collection
“Un fil orange”

Eberhard & Co. presents all the variations of CONTODAT, a collection unveiled in preview at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, encapsulating the very essence of the Maison’s sporty elegance. 
The collection includes CONTODAT AUTOMATIC, a “time-only” model, and CONTODAT CHRONOGRAPHE, a chronograph model. These timepieces stand out for their compact design and are the first watches among the Maison’s current creations to be conceived exclusively with an integrated bracelet.

The collection draws inspiration from a timepiece dating back to the second half of the 1970s, designed by then-President Palmiro Monti, just a few years after he took the helm of the Maison in 1969. During a time of crisis for Swiss watchmaking brought about by the advent of quartz, Monti presented a mechanical chronograph with modern lines and vivid colour contrasts, featuring bright orange accents. Almost half a century later, that same gesture of courage and loyalty to mechanical watchmaking inspires CONTODAT, which revives the spirit and energy of the original model, reinterpreting its orange details — tracing a symbolic fil orange that connects past and present. 

“The inspiration for the CONTODAT collection stems from the desire to bring to life, in the present day with contemporary features, the spirit of a watch that represented a pivotal moment for the brand. Just as Eberhard & Co. was able to embrace the challenge posed by quartz with a highly original mechanical watch featuring unexpected touches of colour, today, in uncertain times, the same spirit has led us to create a new collection, characterized by the same energetic colour contrasts, unique lines, and a case with compact dimensions.” 
-Barbara Monti, CEO of Eberhard & Co.

“The origin of the CONTODAT collection is rooted in a 1970s model, initially only offered as a chronograph, but it is not a mere remake. In fact, it is a completely new collection, marked by a sporty style that still maintains an aura of classicism. A true 'act of loyalty' to mechanical watchmaking, in which the brand has believed from the very beginning and continues to guide us in our vision of the future.” 
-Mario Peserico, General Manager of Eberhard & Co.
