Why did they hide the El Primero in this watch?

Today we have a beautiful Ebel 1911 chronograph on the bench, with the legendary and beautiful Zenith El Primero movement inside. Join me for a look at the movement in detail, with a discussion on its history and peculiarities, and also a look at Ebel as a brand.
We go on a couple of tangents as usual, including a bit about the never-ending and proudly held male boneheadedness :)

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all!
