Ferdinand Berthoud FB 3SPC.1 Chronometre 18K White Gold Champagne Skeleton Dial

This Ferdinand Berthoud Chronometre reference FB 3SPC.1 is built around the firm's most direct expression of contemporary chronometry. Its manual-wind caliber FB-SPC carries a power reserve indication, and the open construction makes the regulating architecture the substance of the watch rather than a detail hidden beneath the dial. Production across the FB 3SPC collection is capped at 25 pieces per year, which gives this reference the kind of scarcity that matters more over time than a louder claim ever could. In 18k white gold, the case measures 42.3mm across and 9.43mm thick, a broad format kept notably restrained in profile. The champagne skeleton dial keeps the movement's structure in constant view, turning the display side into the watch's central idea. Ferdinand Berthoud has made its name by treating chronometry as architecture, and this reference shows how completely that approach can shape a modern watch, a point underlined when the FB 3SPC won the Chronometry prize at the 2023 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève..
