everely damaged by a violent storm, the eagle had to be temporarily removed from its position overlooking the city. After a meticulous restoration process carried out by La Zinguerie d’Art, an art workshop specializing in the creation of architectural ornaments, the emblematic sculpture now once again affirms its role as a symbol of the Maison.

For more than a century, the eagle has stood as a silent guardian of Eberhard & Co., embodying the values, vision, and enduring independent spirit that have defined the Maison since 1887.

To mark this significant moment, Eberhard & Co. has also sealed a time capsule inside the eagle, intended for future generations. The capsule contains a curated selection of items representing the Company today, offering a tangible testimony of its present identity and values, including a letter from CEO Barbara Monti addressed to future generations.

Among the contents is a component from the Chronographe 1887 Édition Limitée, featuring a custom-designed upper bridge shaped like the Maison’s Shield emblem. This functional element of the movement reflects the brand’s philosophy: precision engineering intertwined with symbolic meaning, where mechanical excellence and identity are inseparable.

As the eagle continues to watch over the Maison de l’Aigle, this gesture stands as a bridge between past, present, and future, preserving the memory of today for those who will come tomorrow.
