Ferdinand Berthoud Chronomètre FB 3SPC.3-2 171307-9001

The Ferdinand Berthoud Chronomètre FB 3SPC.3-2 is a pinnacle of horological artistry, where technical mastery meets timeless elegance. Inspired by the rare No. 26 decimal watch from Berthoud’s 1753 Paris workshop, its FB-SPC calibre reveals a three-dimensional architecture, with the mainplate exposed and a sapphire porthole at 9 o’clock showcasing the regulating organ, balance, pallet lever, and escape wheel, paired with a 72-hour power reserve. Components are inspected under up to 6.7× magnification, nearly triple the industry standard, ensuring flawless finishing. Hundreds of hours of handcrafting are devoted to each timepiece, from over 30 hours on the 57-component platinum case to 100 hours decorating the movement, with artisans hand-polishing bevels, sandblasting surfaces, and applying galvanic finishes to 230 components. The anniversary FB 3SPC.3-2 is adorned with 77 baguette-cut diamonds (4.02ct), a black PVD-treated movement, and exquisite touches: a crown in ethical 18-carat white gold set with 19 diamonds, a bezel with 48 diamonds, and a platinum pin buckle with 10 diamonds. Offered with two strap options, refined alligator leather or a crafted polymer strap with hand-stitched leather overlay, this precious stone-set edition is produced in a 5-piece limited series, a true collector’s treasure.
