The reputable Swiss watchmaker Eberhard & Co. together with Les Amis Suisses de l’Universite de Haifa charity organization have teamed together to create this marvelous best fake Eberhard & Co. “Les Pommes du Jardin d’Eden” ladies watch. Created as a unique piece, the timekeeper was auctioned for €5000 to raise funds for breast cancer research carried by Dr. Dalit Barkan, a Ph.D. in Molecular Endocrinology who’s currently working in Haifa University, Israel.Compared to the original, the timekeeper features a nicely crafted white gold snake (probably, the same reptile that spoiled the party in the Garden of Eden) that carries a rose gold apple, which is set with rubies and possesses a pair of enameled leaves.
I must admit that the Eberhard & Co. copy watch does look great and it would be really nice if Eberhard & Co. would consider putting this model into mass production.
Inside this watch beats the well-known ETA 256.031 quartz movement, which is built on six jewels and offers around three years of power reserve. Frankly, with Eberhard & Co. being primarily a watchmaking brand, I would probably have preferred the piece to be animated by a movement with higher horological value, but I also understand that with this timekeeper the Swiss brand wanted to underscore its ability to make fine jewelry as well, so the choice of caliber is still okay with me.

Measuring 32.10 x 38.00 millimeters, the cheap price replica Eberhard & Co. watch is perfectly sized for a normal feminine wrist, while still being prominent enough to make a clear statement.
