EBEL: The Art of the Bracelet

EBEL Watch Repair

Founded 1911 – La Chaux-de-Fonds

Eugène Blum and his wife Alice Lévy founded EBEL (Eugène Blum Et Lévy) in 1911 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The brand quickly earned a reputation for refined, architectural designs and exceptional bracelet craftsmanship — the signature “wave” bracelet became iconic. In the 1970s, EBEL introduced the Sport Classic, blending robustness with elegance. The 1980s Beluga collection redefined feminine luxury. EBEL was also a pioneer in quartz technology while maintaining mechanical excellence.
Today, EBEL is part of the Movado Group and continues to produce watches that emphasize fluid lines, integrated bracelets, and timeless sophistication.

Their motto: “The Architects of Time.”

~65M CHF — estimated 2025 revenue, stable with focused distribution. ~12,000 watches produced annually, maintaining exclusivity. #28 largest Swiss watch brand by sales, with strong cult following for vintage Sport Classic and Beluga models. Secondary market for neo‑vintage EBEL (1990s‑2000s Sport Classic, 1911) has grown 10‑15% annually, driven by renewed interest in integrated bracelet sports watches. The EBEL Wave bracelet remains a design benchmark, and well‑preserved examples command premiums.

Every Current EBEL Model — Exact Case Sizes (2026)

Market Desirability: Which EBEL Sizes Are Most Sought After?

Highest Demand / Collector Grails

  • 41mm Sport Classic (ref. 1215856) – The neo‑vintage icon of the 1990s, featuring EBEL’s legendary Wave bracelet and ETA 2892‑A2 movement. Surging demand due to integrated bracelet revival.
  • 36mm EBEL Classic (unisex) – Perfect proportions for modern collectors. Often found with guilloché dials, highly wearable, and increasingly rare.
  • 33mm Beluga (quartz) – A 1980s‑90s feminine icon. Original two‑tone and diamond‑dial versions are sought after by vintage luxury buyers.

Strong & Growing Segments

  • 39mm EBEL Wave Automatic – Modern interpretation of the classic design, with in‑house‑modified movement. Popular among younger collectors.
  • 42mm 1911 Chronograph – Valjoux 7750‑based, robust, and feature‑rich. Attracts entry‑level luxury chronograph buyers.
  • 38mm Hexagon (retro) – A 2024 reissue of the 1970s geometric case. Niche but rapidly appreciating.
  • Pro tip: The 2025‑2026 market favors EBEL models with original Wave bracelets and full service history. Vintage 36‑40mm sizes outperform larger cases.

Our Recommended Service for EBEL Watches

What the Service Includes Daily Care Between Services Why It Matters
1Complete disassembly, cleaning, and inspection of movement Clean the Wave bracelet regularly – Use a soft toothbrush and mild soap to remove debris between links. Removes wear, dust, and old oil from inside the movement.
2Replacement of worn components (automatic module, mainspring, jewels) Avoid magnetic fields – EBEL movements are not fully anti‑magnetic; keep away from speakers and electronics. Prevents further mechanical wear before it spreads.
3Fresh lubrication with high‑grade Swiss oils For quartz models, replace battery promptly – Leaked batteries can destroy the movement. Keeps the movement running smoothly and accurately.
4Regulation to manufacturer specifications (±10 sec/day for mechanical) Never force the crown on vintage pieces – Older EBELs have delicate stems. Restores factory-correct timing accuracy.
5Case and bracelet refinishing — satin, polished, or brushed finishes, including Wave bracelet restoration Clean the Wave bracelet regularly – Use a soft toothbrush and mild soap to remove debris between links. Restores factory-correct case and bracelet finish.
6Water resistance testing and new gaskets (up to 100m for Sport Classic) Avoid magnetic fields – EBEL movements are not fully anti‑magnetic; keep away from speakers and electronics. Confirms the watch is safe from moisture damage.

I had such a wonderful experience at Newport Jewelers, and I especially want to recognize Jacob for his exceptional customer service! I absolutely did not want to be without my ring, but it needed to be resized. Jacob got me in right away and went above and beyond to make sure I wasn’t without it for long. He had my ring resized in record time, and I couldn’t have been happier with the service and care he provided. What really stood out to me was how accommodating, professional, and kind Jacob was. Customer service like that is hard to find these days! I had actually called another jeweler in the same plaza beforehand, and the person I spoke with was extremely rude and unhelpful. The difference in customer service was honestly night and day. I highly recommend Newport Jewelers and Jacob. If you want someone who genuinely cares about their customers and takes pride in their work, definitely see Jacob! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I brought my Rolex in after I cracked the crystal and Jacob took care of it for me. He was very helpful and did a great job with the repair. My watch looks like new again!

Jacob did amazing work on my engagement ring that was passed down to me from my grandmother. He resized the ring and made it silver. It is my dream ring and he made my dreams come true. I can’t appreciate him enough, he is amazing. I will reccomend him to everyone I know !

Really happy with my experience at Newport Jewelers. I went in looking for an engagement ring and honestly wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted at first. Jacob was really helpful and took the time to show me different options and answer all my questions. I ended up finding a ring that I absolutely loved. The whole experience was great, and I really appreciate Jacob’s help. Definitely recommend Newport Jewelers if you’re looking for an engagement ring.

I had a wonderful experience meeting and doing business with Jacob. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and a pleasure to work with. I needed a ring resized, and the results were even better than I expected, especially considering how significant the size change was. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the ring came back looking brand new. I was also really impressed to learn that Jacob makes his own jewelry, which shows in the quality and attention to detail of his work. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he does. I’m extremely happy with how my ring turned out and would highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for beautiful craftsmanship, quality work, and great service.

I had two rings worked on by Newport Jewelers the first was a repair, stone replacement and smoothing down sharp edges making my ring more comfortable to wear. The ring is stunning, he cleaned and polished it Next I had him change the mounting of my gorgeous 12 carat vivid blue sapphire from a very old platinum ballerina styled ring. To a modern pave mounting. The ring is stunning when I saw it I got goose bumps and wanted to cry. I have never seen a more beautiful ring, and the best part is it is mine!!! Thank you so much I am so so very happy

EBEL Watch Repair

The Wave Bracelet Legacy

Introduced in the 1980s, the EBEL Wave bracelet became an instant design icon. Its fluid, sinuous links are both supremely comfortable and visually striking — each link is hand‑finished. The Wave bracelet is often considered one of the most beautiful metal bracelets ever made. Our workshop has the specific anvils and polishing compounds to restore the Wave to its original luster.

EBEL has become a hidden gem in the vintage and neo‑vintage market. Sport Classic and 1911 models from the 1990s have appreciated 20‑30% over two years, driven by the integrated bracelet trend. The Beluga and Wave quartz models are also gaining traction among fashion‑forward collectors. A full service record from Newport Jewelers adds 15‑25% to resale value.
