In 1911, Ebel was born in the most influential land of the watchmaking world, la Chaux-de-Fonds. Built on the two twin pillars of men and women, its outcomes are based on the most inspiring emotion of all times: Love with a big L. Ebel comes from a fusion of acronyms of the initials Eugène Blum Et Levy. Eugène focused mainly on the technical side and the brand development whereas Alice, his wife, dealt with the aesthetic aspects of watchmaking.
