Jumbo Gondole Ebel-Ellipse PocketWatch

Ebel Jumbo Ellipse PocketWatch, like Cartier Gondole


CHF 4,000

WHY WE LOVE IT? Close connections to Cartier but not priced Cartier-esque.

The design of this jumbo Ellipse / Gondole is unmistakable and similar to Cartier Paris Gondole -- no surprise as both brands were produced in West-Switzerland city of La-Chaux De Fonds (by the way, also home of Vulcain, Eberhard, Corum, Girard-Perregaux and others) in the Ebel manufacture.

The case was made by Joseph Erard SA manufacture in Le Noirmont, canton Jura. The popular Cartier Jumbo Paris Gondole not only shares the same dimensions and design but also the same heart: the same 17 jewels manual ASchild caliber is working in both icons.

Rare and iconic.

The condition is probably unpolished and very good.
