The Ebel Story
Ebel was founded in 1911 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the historic birth place of the watch-making industry, by Swiss industrialist and watchmaker Eugene Blum and his wife Alice Levy. The brand was name after the initials of Eugene Blum et Levy. In 1971, their grand-son Pierre-Alain Blum took the lead of the brand and renewed its collections and the company keeps growing.
The Architects of Time

Ebel has seen itself as the architect of the Swiss watch manufacturing industry and has kept highlighting it throughout its history both with its famous slogan: Ebel, the Architects of Time, and with its long-lasting links with the world of architecture and design.
