In the landscape of sports watchmaking, there are models that follow trends and others that manage to create a completely new language. The Chrono 4 Géant undoubtedly belongs to the latter category.

When Eberhard & Co. presented the first Chrono 4 in 2001, it introduced a solution never seen before in the history of watchmaking: four chronograph counters horizontally aligned on the dial. An exclusive and patented configuration that still represents one of the most recognizable signatures of the Swiss Maison.
With the Chrono 4 Géant, Eberhard takes this concept to a higher level, creating a chronograph with an imposing, technical, and strongly contemporary character.
The Chrono 4 in its most extreme expression
The word "Géant" is no accident.
This collection represents the most powerful and spectacular version of the famous Chrono 4, designed for those who desire a significant presence on the wrist without sacrificing the technical sophistication typical of Swiss watchmaking.
The 46 mm case immediately expresses strength and personality, while the robust construction, the bezel with visible screws, and the three-dimensional details give the watch an unmistakable identity. Eberhard defines the Géant as the ultimate expression of compactness, dynamism, and solidity within the Chrono 4 family.
Four aligned counters: a unique signature in watchmaking
The aesthetic heart of the Chrono 4 Géant remains the celebrated display with four side-by-side counters.
While traditional chronographs arrange the counters vertically or triangularly, Eberhard developed an exclusive solution that places them on a single horizontal line.
This layout is not just a style exercise, but a true technical innovation that required the development of a proprietary patented module. Over twenty years after its introduction, the Chrono 4 remains one of the most immediately recognizable chronographs in the entire watchmaking industry today.
Three-dimensional design and sporty character
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Chrono 4 Géant is the work done on the dial's depth.
The multi-level construction creates a strong three-dimensional effect that gives dynamism and character to the watch's entire architecture. Applied metallic elements, decorative screws, satin finishes, and technical details contribute to creating a sense of depth that constantly changes depending on the viewing angle.
The aesthetic evokes the world of automotive competitions, mechanical engineering, and high-speed performance, sectors to which Eberhard has historically been linked.
Built for action
Behind the spectacular design lies a chronograph engineered for practical use.
The steel case houses an automatic movement based on the proven ETA 2894-2, modified and personalized by Eberhard with the famous Chrono 4 device. The movement offers a chronograph, date display, 24-hour indication, and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.
The screw-down crown and pushers contribute to high robustness, while water resistance up to 200 meters confirms the collection's sporting vocation.
The anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial and ensures optimal readability even in the most demanding conditions.
An icon of modern Eberhard
If the Chrono 4 marked a turning point in the brand's history, the Géant probably represents its most audacious interpretation.
The collection successfully synthesizes all the values that have made Eberhard & Co. famous: technical innovation, aesthetic identity, passion for chronographs, and the ability to offer truly distinctive solutions in an increasingly crowded market.
It is not a watch designed to go unnoticed. It is a chronograph that proudly asserts its personality and continues to represent one of the most original projects in contemporary Swiss watchmaking.
For those seeking a chronograph unlike any other, the Chrono 4 Géant remains one of the most iconic creations ever made by Eberhard & Co. to this day.
