The Swiss Brand’s connection with vintage car racing goes back to 1991, when Eberhard & Co. teamed up with the Gran Premio Nuvolari (Nuvolari Grand Prix), the historic competition launched in 1954 in honour of the great driver from Mantova. It was Eberhard’s passion for cars that was celebrated with a watch collection dedicated to the “Mantovano Volante” (“Flying Mantovano”), the Tazio Nuvolari collection that includes iconic timepieces like the “Vanderbilt Cup” or the “Grand Prix” limited editions, all combining tradition in perfect harmony with modernity.

Eberhard & Co. and the “Coppa delle Alpi”: passion for motors and the sporting spirit coming together in a new adventure.
