I like it but
I think the pricing is very ambitious relative to what else is available in that range. Not big on those hands either. They look a little phat.
Personally, I’d probably still go for a wacky Greubel in this price range.
Interesting thoughts.
I understand your point of you. All the more so since I don't find this watch visually appealing.

Thanks for the post. The model is definitely all over the inter webs. I am anxious to see it in the metal as I don't believe I can truly appreciate
a piece of art by pictures alone. That said, I am so impressed with what Ferdinand Berthoud is bringing to us. Their pieces are technologically amazing but also made with a keen eye to the proper finishing and presentation of the watch.
From the pictures, if I could trade my FB2RE for this model, I wouldn't. I am totally gobsmacked with my FB2. It checks all the boxes. The enamel, multilayered dial is a feat in and of itself and that is absent in this iteration.
As far as the hands, I understand what others said but I suggest they reflect what FB did on the FB2RE where the circular counterweight of the second hand fits perfectly into the bulge in the middle of the minute hand every minute. That, is a small but amazing detail of design that gives me joy every minute of the day. In this model, that same effect is missing but you can't have it all I guess.
Bravo FB.
Cheers
For me, your FB2RE is simply the greatest watch FB has made.
I personally don't like open dials and I want the magic to be on the back: that's exactly what the FB2RE offers, with a gorgeous enamel dial.
Don't hesitate to share a photo of your grail with us!
This new iteration is, as always, very impressive as far as watchmaking is concerned, but it doesn't appeal to me visually.
