Traversetolo « AZ Fine Time Blog

Eberhard & Co. dates back as far as 1887 and has a rich history in high quality timepieces. While the brand has only a small distribution to the US, and is very tough to come by nowadays, the brand still inherits original philosophy of building beautiful precision timepieces. In today’s review, we bring you the Eberhard & Co. Traversetolo Vitre 21020.01…

Eberhard & Co. Traversetolo Vitre 21020.01

The Traversetolo comes in a few different executions, but the Vitre is a personal favorite. The reason behind this is because it has a sapphire crystal exposing the movement, where the standard is a closed case back. The 3rd variation of this model is a left handed Vitre, which also has the open case back. There’s a lot to be said about the quality decoration on the 17 jewel manual wind movement. There is perlage on every exposed piece of the movement, blue screws and even a weighted balance wheel. While it appears to be an immaculately constructed movement, the feedback on accuracy has been impressive to say the least too. Always a great combo.

This simplistic but elegant piece is a 43mm stainless steel case with a high polish finish. The crown is fairly large to make for easy manual winding, but is not obnoxious. There is a dual anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal protecting the pure white dial. The heavily lumed hands and large Arabic numerals make for a very legible piece during day or night. The strap is also a really cool padded calf that protrudes out of the center of the strap with contrast dual stitching.
