The Ferdinand Berthoud Chronometre FB 3SPC.2-1

Ferdinand Berthoud has introduced a new rose gold version of its Chronometre FB 3SPC watch to celebrate the opening of a boutique in Tokyo. The timepiece features a unique cylindrical balance spring and a movement finished in nickel silver, emphasizing traditional watchmaking craftsmanship.
Why it matters
This highlights the intersection of high-end luxury manufacturing and traditional horological engineering, catering to the niche market of luxury collectors.
Despite being relatively simple in terms of complications and indications, the Ferdinand Berthoud Chronometre FB 3SPC is nothing short of spectacular… As you’d expect from the brand, its beauty lies in its impeccable execution, traditional decoration, focus on chronometry and several technical solutions that make it far more complex than just a time-only watch. The watch, when released in 2022, featured an unprecedented combination of a variable-inertia balance, cylindrical balance spring and chronometer certification (COSC) – which is the reason why it was awarded the Chronometry prize at the GPHG 2023 . Following multiple editions, from the inaugural white or pink gold editions , modern black or titanium versions, or more precious platinum editions , the model comes back in a warm, lightly retro-styled version in rose gold to mark the opening of Art in Time Tokyo.
