This October, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud presents a new model inspired by a historic civil timekeeper of the French post-revolutionary period. The beautiful Chronomètre FB 3SPC forms the third pillar of the brand’s collections.
Inspired by the Marine Clock No.8 that earned Ferdinand Berthoud the royal warrant in 1770, the manufacture introduced the Chronomètre FB RSM this Spring. The highly precise movement includes a deadbeat seconds and a stop-seconds mechanism.
Under the sunny Dubai sky and the arch of the DIFC Gate Building independent watch brands showcased their special pieces in a great atmosphere. The Brands’ Exhibition hall was bright with smiles and loud from the chit-chat while a number of astonishing models wandered from wrist to wrist. Below are a few exceptional creations by independents.
The 84 pre-selected watches of the GPHG2020 are competing for the “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix or for one of the prizes in the 14 categories that reward contemporary watchmaking excellence.
Time Æon is an initiative aiming to save the soon extinct traditional watchmaking know-how that once shaped timepieces. At the SIHH 2019 we spoke with David Bernard, director of the Time Æon Foundation about their past and future projects.
To the SIHH, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud brought ‘Oeuvre d’Or’ limited editions of the FB 1 with patinated gold dial. Look at this beauty!
