A Berthoud Duo
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 😊😇
I’ve spent a fair bit of time with mh friends fb
It’s that enamel one. In person it looks much better. The curved enamel dial is very, very cool in the flesh
I understand but the solid enamel dial
is gorgeous for me, not too simple. Just pure and classy!
100% with you on this Emmanuel.
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)👏🙂↕️
I’m glad you like it too, Filip!
And your selection is top of the line! Best, Emmanuel
Both are exquisite 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
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 🙌🏻
I’m glad you feel that way too!
And you are totally right about the open dial design being key to FB!
My preference would be for the one on the left.
I think it's utterly fantastic. Its dial is simple, yet the piece has a certain gravitas and an undeniable wrist presence.
I quite like the hollowed design, personally.
And I imagine that in real life, their blued hue is very eye-catching. Best, Emmanuel
Incredible watches!
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. ...
I've had the chance to try on the FB3, which is very appealing,
but I think I like the FB2T even more! Thanks for sharing these beauties. Best, Emmanuel
Absolute gorgeous pieces , hard to pick a favorite, always loved a open worked dial so i tend to go that direction if i was into the market for a FB2
Still would love to add a FB3 when possible one day 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The FB3 has the advantage of being far more wearable
for any kind of wrists! Best, Emmanuel
