At its 75th anniversary in 1986, Ebel bought the Villa Turque which was meant to become a symbol of “The Architects of Time”. As they were deeply conscious of the main purpose of the objects they designed and the need to assure their existence, Ebel` s aspirations were to raise their watches beyond their primary functionality to the rank of genuine works of art. From this point of view the manufacturing of a watch can be easily compared with the work of an architect through the fact that both the watch – maker and the architect need certain materials that put together will guarantee their functioning over the ages. When making a watch every detail and every aspect of both the noble metals or precious stones are well analyzed in order to assure the lasting perfection.

        The Ebel 1911 BTR Perpetual Calendar Chronograph in pink gold was made for those who are keen on contemporary architecture or mechanical watch making, that`s way the number of watches which are to be sold is very low. The impressive face of the landmark creation is powerfully evocative of contemporary architectural fulfillment like modern art with their large colored around a metal frame creating a variety pattern of glass and steel.

        The combination between the clever lightning and volume effect provoke a contemporary work of architecture. Even if the Ebel 1911 BTR Perpetual calendar chronograph is able to count off the day of the week, the date , the month, the years, and the ever-poetic phases of the moon, this quintessentially architectural timepiece is exceptionally legible due to its four sapphire crystal counters sporting a metallic matt appearance which undeniably intensify their legibility.

        The iconic hexagonal 1911 case of the Ebel 1911 BTR Perpetual Calendar Chronograph watch measures 44.5mm in diameter. The chassis construction features a 32 mm dial opening , and a deep bezel secured 5 screws and sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. The selection of colors based on elegant understatement and elusive contrasts draws attention to the complex world of the watch mechanism suit below the alternating slate grey and black.

        The Ebel 1911 BTR Perpetual Calendar Chronograph has many functions. On the screen you are able to see: hours, minutes , small seconds and 7 day counter at 9 o`clock, chronograph hour and astronomical moon counter at 6 o`clock, chronograph minute and 31 day counter at 3 o `clock , 48 months and year at 12 o`clock and last but not least chronograph seconds in the center.

        Having an alligator leather strap featuring hand-sewn overstitching, this astonishing stylistic exercise captures the essence of modern architecture by enshrining the immeasurably large within the tiny boundaries of a watch- a really monumental accomplishment.
