Chronomètre FB 2TV

Ten years after creating its first movement, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud unveils its new collection, “Mesure du Temps 1787”, whose principle is to reveal the mechanical beauty of the movement on the dial side.

A mechanical show staged on the dial side

Chapter 1 of this collection introduces the first model featuring this innovative architecture: the Chronomètre FB 2TV. Its Calibre FB‑TV.FC features a constant-force regulating device combining a tourbillon and a fusée-and-chain, while introducing a profoundly reimagined architecture after six years of research. Among its 1,240 components, enhanced by 300 hours of manual finishing, the 15 mm flying tourbillon, without an upper bridge, stands out and reinforces the movement’s visual impact.

Two complications dedicated to precision timekeeping

Two unprecedented complications enhance this movement. The first is a stop-seconds mechanism that allows the movement to be stopped for precise adjustment. The second is a flyback-type zero-resetting of the seconds hand, which can be activated by a coaxial pusher embedded in the dynamometric winding crown.
