Chronomètre FB 3SPC.1
Paying homage to the exceptional No. 26 watch crafted in 1793 by Louis Berthoud™, the Chronomètre FB 3SPC reinterprets a legacy of ingenuity through a contemporary lens. Powered by the Calibre FB-SPC, it features a cylindrical balance spring – an extraordinary horological rarity – and is uniquely certified to the COSC: ISO 3159 standard.
The FB 3SPC.1 is equipped with an 18-carat white gold case, 2N pale yellow gold movement components, and an eggshell-coloured dial in sandblasted silver-toned brass.
A Pioneer Of Timekeeping
Hailing from Val-de-Travers, Berthoud was an extraordinary watchmaker and accomplished scientist. Renowned for his mechanical genius and empirical approach, he pioneered marine chronometers that revolutionised navigation.
A gifted writer and astute negotiator, he secured influential positions and uniquely published over 4,000 pages of research – establishing himself as one of the foremost figures in horology.
Reviving a Legacy
A passionate connoisseur of art and horology, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele founded the Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud.
“I intend to revive Berthoud’s watchmaking genius from which we draw our inspiration. We have a duty to preserve the heritage of historical pieces and to nurture the spirit of innovation that Ferdinand Berthoud bequeathed to us.”
Horological Art
Since the advent of mechanical timekeeping in the 13th century, horologists continuously sought to refine their craft, improving on both precision and accuracy.
Today, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud carries this legacy forward with a dedicated team and meticulous development process. Created in its own workshops in Fleurier, each timepiece embodies the pinnacle of horological art and reflects the scientific spirit of its 18th century Clockmaker and Mechanic.
