Ferdinand Berthoud FB1RES4...Fuse-chain with 1 second Remontoire
By: mahesh : April 27th, 2024-19:57
Below is a Octogonal case in Ceramic coated Titanium with a sandblasted anthracite dial... the case is 44mm and 14mm thick, absence of real lug makes it more wearable than the numbers look - having said that, it is still a BIG timepiece. FB limits this re...
great minds think alike ;-)

technically brilliant...aesthetically could have been better. the joy of winding this movement is incredible.
I love the FB 'look'...

...it has a steampunk kind of vibe combined with classic horology. I do wish they would make a smaller case, especially on the non-fusee and chain models (which I can see would need to be larger).
Glorious.

I cannot wait to see some of these watches in person at some point in time.... Cheers, thanks for the quality pictorial! Filip
I can understand...

same like what Nico and I say earlier, the movement is impressive - Dial side would have been better but I can appreciate the technicality and quality of the timepiece
Love it!

But why not go for a more demanding certification like metas? Even tudor is going beyond cosc.
FB is really terrible in communicating their certification.
By: als1678 : April 28th, 2024-14:29
Their watches are subject to cosc testing, but perform way better as one can see from the result that comes with the watch. The point is that a) you are subjecting an extremely complicated watch to a certification which is really for sports watches b) you...
Is metas really only for sports watches?

The water resistance test is specced to be "25% more than manufacturer's spec" so dress watches are fine (as long as manufacturers don't lie about wr), there are no shock or impact tests. The only vaguely "sports watch" test would be anti magnetism - but ...
True...

entry into the brand is expensive, which is a challenge.
The case shape

is breathtaking, so special to see that lug solution. 44 is big, and even as the watch looks like a grail for me, fingers cross FB made a series in 38, 39, and 40. Thinner, let’s wait till the movement loose size and the watch goes direction 11mm.
A clever answer

Perfect. In January i bought a watch. With a story. With a nice surprise. It wend out i bought the perfect fitting watch for my wrist. So i measure all sizes, so to judge other watches if they stand my test. I look at an oyster perpetual with the right si...
