Ferdinand Berthoud
All our videos regarding Ferdinand Berthoud
Join us to discover the making of another legendary watch by Ferdinand Berthoud. Our film follows the making of a unique timepiece using traditional tools, ancestral techniques, and nothing but human skill.
In this Showtime edition, we come back on the Watches & Wonders week, new watches, and other important developments on the business side.
Ferdinand Berthoud presents the new version of its Remontoir d’Égalité with an open-worked dial, the Chronomètre FB RES.
Today we have the pleasure of going behind the scene of the new FB2 by Ferdinand Berthoud, a timepiece selected in the final round of the 2020 GPHG in the chronometry category and you will rapidly understand why in this video. For instance and for the very first time in a timepiece you will find the combination of a "fusée chaine" mechanism and a "remontoir d’égalité” resulting in surprising performances, but the path to achieve this was obviously a complicated one.
n today’s video we compare two different approaches illustrating the constant force mechanism and we not only do so with our good friend Peter Speake but with two great timepieces coming from Ferdinand Berthoud and the second one from Arnold & Son. Peter comes back on what is constant force and details with us how it has been expressed differently on these two timepieces.
Today, we have quite a special video to share with you as we had the great privilege of following the full restoration carried on an original Ferdinand Berthoud Marine Chronometer, a timekeeping device of historical significance.
It's indeed this time of the year when we come back on some of the most beautiful timepieces we managed to get our hands and eyes on including timepieces from: Patek Philippe, A. Lange & Söhne, Vacheron Constantin, FP. Journe, Rolex, Moritz Grossmann, Ferdinand Berthoud, Kari Voutilainen, Charles Frodsham, Greubel Forsey, Andersen Genève, Purnell, Armin Strom, Richard Mille, Hermès, David Rutten, URWERK and a few extra more!
What a historic crazy moment we just lived with the shattering record just set for a wrist watch: 31 Million Swiss Francs for the one and only steel Grand Master Chime from Patek Philippe. A record sending a clear message that Patek is in a league of their own and nothing, absolutely nothing comes close to it!!
Results of the GPHG, the main awards ceremony of the watchmaking industry, which just took place in Geneva and celebrated 14 different watches in just as many categories, plus the watch judged best of the best of 2019.
