Replica Ebel Watches

  Ebel is continuing and intensifying its commitment to the environment of football. Following in Arsenal?s footsteps, Bayern Munich is the latest team to have signed a strategic alliance with the Architects of Time. On 10 February, Thomas van der Kallen, the Chairman of Ebel, and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the Chairman of Bayern Munich, held a press conference in the Bavarian capital to disclose the partnership mid the watch manufacturer based in La Chaux-de-Fonds and Germanifold?s most prestigious football club. In its capacity as Bayern?s official partner, Ebel choice take on responsibility concluded the next five years ? the agreement enters into force on 1st July ? for all aspects related to timekeeping during matches played by the Munich team at its stadium, the Allianz-Arena. Expressing his delight at this new partnership, Thomas van der Kallen emphasised that following an inceptive alliance with the London club Arsenal last year, Bayern Munich marked an important step for Ebel in its approach to the world of football and that it at once envisaged possible agreements with additional leading European teams. To symbolise this association, Ebel has developed a watch dedicated specially to football. Far from restricting themselves the watch?s visual appearance, the firm?s watchmakers devoted many hours to developing an exclusive movement ideally suited to this sport, making it possible not only to measure precisely the duration of each period of play ? hence its name 245 (or 2×45 minutes) ? but further indicating the duration of time added on. The time elapsed is displayed very clearly (see photo) thanks to the extra large 45 minute counter. This new calibre comes as an addition to the 1911 line. Produced in limited editions with the badges of Arsenal and Bayern Munich, it will be available this autumn. Bayern Munich has won more trophies than any other club in the Bundesliga, with twenty Championship titles and thirteen German Cup victories to its name. It is also a two-times winner of the Intercontinental Cup, has been victorious in the Champions League four times and the UEFA Cup once, and has also won the European Cup Winner’s Cup. Its name is synonymous with success, excellence and world-class completion well beyond the borders of Germany and Europe. The Allianz Arena, designed by the renowned Basel architects Herzog & de Meuron and opened in April 2005, superbly embodies the new trend which sees contemporary football ? like Ebel moreover ? attaching great importance to architecture. This extremely innovative construction offers, in the words of its designers, "a futuristic interpretation of the intrinsic concept of football". Its breathtaking outside is illuminated on match days by a cascade of red light which ripples over the shell to give the stadium a quasi-magical aura. No other place could have been more appropriate therefore to announce the new alliance between the Bavarian club and the Architects of Time.

Just recently, all German watch magazines started to cover the new beauties from Ebel: the 1911 BTR collection, based on the 1911 series. Especially the chronograph is of my personal interest! I always liked the Zenith El Primero driven Ebel chronograph, as worn by Don Johnson a.k.a Sonny Crockett in Miami Vice in the 1980s. The new 1911 BTR chronograph features an in house movement by Ebel, caliber 137. The case is 44.5mm in diameter and can either be choosen with a stainless steel or rubber bezel. The 1911 BTR also comes in a GMT model (caliber 240) and a perpetual model (caliber 288). Prices start at 3500 euro for the GMT with leather strap.I think that this step could bring Ebel back into business by a lot of purists.. Let’s hope so.The official promotion site for the 1911 BTR can be found at .
