Vintage 1990s Ebel 1911 'Les Architectes du Temps' Print Advertisement — Original Swiss Watch Ad
Approximately 8.5 x 12 inches.
This vintage Ebel 1911 magazine advertisement from the early 1990s showcases the Swiss brand's celebrated 'Les Architectes du Temps' campaign in a sophisticated, surrealist-inspired composition. The original print ad presents the gold-tone 1911 bracelet watch alongside architectural blueprints, a classical bust, and a cracked sphere — visual metaphors for precision craftsmanship and timeless design. The Ebel 1911, commemorating the founding year of the company in La Chaux-de-Fonds, was among the most architecturally distinctive luxury watches of its era. A compelling collectible ad for fans of Swiss watchmaking and 1990s luxury print culture.
