Eberhard Gives into Temptation to Battle Breast Cancer

On September 11t the Kempinski Hotel in Geneva played host to the “Les Pommes du Jardin d’Eden” project. This is the third annual charity event/fundraiser organized by "Les Amis Suisses de l'Université de Haifa" to raise funds for the ongoing breast cancer research work of Dr Dalit Barkan, supported by Haifa University.

The event involved several luxury brands, who all presented original creations inspired by the apple. Eberhard provided a unique interpretation of their woman’s Gilda timepiece.

A tempting white gold confection, paired with a white crocodile strap is further adorned with a white gold snake “winding” its way to take a bite of the rose gold apple. The apple itself is a work of art comprised of rubies, the leaves enameled.

The “Gilda in the Garden of Eden” brought in € 5000 during the auction.

This just in from Eberhard -

Last weekend, Eberhard & Co. took part in the Passione Engadina as the Premium Sponsor.  This is an exciting vintage car race open only to Italian-made cars manufactured prior to 1982.  Passione Engadina took place in the splendid settings of St. Moritz and Engadina.  This was a true rally featuring  beautiful, vintage Italian autos.

The race was held over two days -

Saturday was dedicated to the “Umbrail Rail – St. Moritz Race”, with the drivers facing the challenge of 3 different mountain passes, among spectacular mountains.  

Sunday was devoted to the Elegance Competition in the historic centre of St. Moritz,
a special location which also played host to the final award ceremony.

The winners of the "Cars Made Before 1947" category were awarded a Tazio Nuvolari chronograph and a Gilda model by Eberhard & Co., while the winner of the “cars made before 1982” received a Champion V, and the “Sportcar” category winner received a Traversetolo.
