In 1935, Ebel became the first Swiss watch manufacturer to use the “Western Electric” system. This invention was none other than the precursor to the vibrograph. It was the first device capable of measuring the accuracy of movements. During World War II, Ebel served as the primary supplier of watches to the British Army.
