1950s Ebel Dress Watch In Yellow Gold

Why This Watch Matters Ebel isn’t a manufacture you see often in the HODINKEE Shop, but this dress watch is truly something special. The Full Story Ebel is a Swiss maker that was founded in 1911 by Eugéne Blum and Alice Ebel. The manufacture was known for its understated men’s and women’s watches. This example features a refined yellow-gold case, silvered dial, and applied indexes. It is powered by an automatic movement and has center seconds, which is unusual for a dress watch, but we like it that way.
