Ferdinand Berthoud Chronomètre FB 2T.1

Even before the inauguration of the Manufacture, the President of Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, had a clear objective: to offer contemporary creations pursuing the work of Ferdinand Berthoud. This led to the 2015 presentation of the Chronomètre FB 1, a wristwatch such as the great Master Watchmaker might have conceived it today.

This first collection offers an alternative vision of Haute Horlogerie to an audience of discerning collectors: timepieces distinguished by excellence, powered by a 100% Manufacture movement, chronometer-certified, equipped with a tourbillon and fusee-and-chain transmission, as well as based on a pillar-type construction. The Chronomètre FB 1.1 with its octagonal case was enthusiastically welcomed by professionals who awarded it the “Aiguille d'Or”, the supreme best-in-show distinction of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, just one year after its launch.

Eight years later, the final 38 examples of this calibre will be presented for the first time in a round case, giving life to the Chronomètre FB 2T – Final Edition. An exceptional collection driven by a movement whose entire kinematic chain has been designed as an authentic watchmaking experience.
