Two Ferdinand Berthoud timepieces: Chronomètre FB 2RE.1 with a 44 x 14.30 mm white gold case Chronomètre FB 2RES.2-2 with a 44 x 14.30 mm rose gold case As i prefer solid dials, the FB 2RE has always been my favorite Berthoud. What about you ? Best, Emman...  

I still volunteer to indefinitely 'test' any of them for the betterment of horology overall 😊😇

It’s that enamel one. In person it looks much better. The curved enamel dial is very, very cool in the flesh

is gorgeous for me, not too simple. Just pure and classy!

The solid dial Berthoud, the ALS Richard Lange, and the 1921 are my all-time favorite time-only watches in a traditional case (meaning not including rectangular and other 'exotic' shapes)👏🙂‍↕️

And your selection is top of the line! Best, Emmanuel

The open dial design is a key component of FB but to me as well the WG solid dial with the PR on the back appeals more 🙌🏻

And you are totally right about the open dial design being key to FB!

I think it's utterly fantastic. Its dial is simple, yet the piece has a certain gravitas and an undeniable wrist presence.

But the hands seem a little off to my eyes. Maybe too thick ?

And I imagine that in real life, their blued hue is very eye-catching. Best, Emmanuel

Those are both beautiful. The movements are, of course, amazing, and I love both dial approaches. I’ll tack on with two more. One a complex tourbillon, and one their simpler cylindrical hairspring model. ...  

but I think I like the FB2T even more! Thanks for sharing these beauties. Best, Emmanuel

Still would love to add a FB3 when possible one day 🙏🏻🙏🏻

for any kind of wrists! Best, Emmanuel
