Story & Heritage Founded in 1911 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Ebel takes its name from the initials of its founders, Eugène Blum and Alice Lévy. From its beginnings, the brand developed a reputation for combining Swiss watchmaking expertise with elegant and distinctive design. Throughout the 20th century, Ebel became associated with refined aesthetics, mechanical precision and a strong sense of individuality. During the 1970s, Swiss watchmaking entered an era of creative experimentation. Traditional round cases gave way to more expressive shapes, while textured dials, warm gold finishes and contrasting colour combinations became defining features of contemporary watch design. The Ebel Brasilia captures this period beautifully. Its cushion-shaped gold-plated case reflects the architectural influence of the decade, while the smoked linen-textured dial creates a fascinating interplay of light, texture and depth. The automatic mechanical movement adds another dimension to its appeal, representing an era when traditional Swiss watchmaking continued to evolve alongside increasingly adventurous design. Today, vintage Ebel watches are appreciated by collectors who value distinctive styling, Swiss mechanical craftsmanship and the character of timepieces from the golden age of 1970s design. With its elegant proportions, unusual dial texture and practical day-date complication, this Ebel Brasilia is more than a vintage wristwatch. It is a charming expression of Swiss horological heritage and timeless European sophistication. A distinctive collectible piece for enthusiasts of Ebel, vintage Swiss automatic watches and classic 1970s design. Internal Reference Number - FLO-167
