Founded in 1911 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Ebel was established by the husband-and-wife duo Eugène Blum and Alice Lévy. The brand's identity was forged from their complementary skills: his for technical precision and hers for aesthetic design, establishing a philosophy of "Beauty Marries Function." Ebel quickly gained recognition for its jewelry-focused women's watches and later solidified its reputation by supplying timepieces to the British Royal Air Force during WWII. The brand's signature style emerged in 1977 with the Sport Classic collection, which introduced the iconic Wave bracelet—a supple, undulating design that became synonymous with the Ebel name.
