EBEL has an enduringly romantic tale to tell. Founded by husband and wife Eugène
HERITAGE
Blum and Alice Lévy, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1911. A passion for innovation and excellence in watch design has always been at the heart of the EBEL brand. The complementary talents and interests bequeathed by the couple have shaped the heritage and spirit of the EBEL brand. The very name, EBEL, is an acronym of the initials “Eugène Blum Et Lévy”.

PHILOSOPHY AND KISSING ‘E’ 6
Eugène Blum was driven by a quest for functionality, while Alice Lévy had a passion for aesthetics. This exceptional duality resulted in a marriage of beauty and function that was to become EBEL’s founding philosophy and the core of all its inspired creations. This unique tale of synergies and inspirational philosophy have been sealed and solidified with the launch of the Kissing ‘E’ logo in 1950.

The Sport Classic
The brand hallmarks of consistent excellence and inventive sophistication soared to new heights in 1977 with the introduction of an iconic model that would define its
BIRTH OF AN ICON
identity. The launch of the groundbreaking Sport Classic line with its unique case and bracelet integration represented the birth of the hero product concept, and a breakthrough in design and function that marked the beginning of the sport chic category. This unique watch design achieved almost instant recognition as it truly exemplified EBEL’s ‘beauty marries function’ philosophy, which generated lasting fascination with two-toned steel and gold watches.

LA VILLA TURQUE AS LA MAISON EBEL
In 1986, coinciding with the brand’s 75th anniversary, EBEL acquired the famous Villa Turque, designed and built by renowned architect Le Corbusier. A miracle of ageless perfection and majestic equilibrium, the structure epitomizes the nature of EBEL and its timepieces – pure lines, a smooth flow, and distinctive geometric shapes. Reflecting inexhaustible creative genius and consummate technical mastery, this eloquent architectural embodiment of EBEL’s philosophy and values thus became La Maison EBEL.
