Calibre FB-SPC is the only one of its kind to satisfy the chronometric (precision timekeeping) criteria of the COSC<\/strong>: ISO 3159 certification made possible only by the precision adjustments performed by the Manufacture&#8217;s watchmakers. In addition to the development of a new variable-inertia balance-spring, equipped with four fine adjustment screws and 12 load screws, many months of research, testing and fine-tuning were necessary to define the number of coils and the geometry of the terminal curve at the attachment points in order to optimise rate precision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_02-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Ferdinand Berthoud: Chronom\u00e8tre FB3 SPC\" class=\"wp-image-18837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_02-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_02-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_02.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new mechanical hand-wound movement stems from more than three years of research and development, during which every detail was carefully examined.\u00a0<strong>Appearing at 9 o&#8217;clock, the three main escapement organs \u2013 the balance-wheel, pallet-lever and escape-wheel \u2013 are thus individualised, distinct and prominent<\/strong>. This ample space dedicated to the regulating organ enables its operation to be admired in full, and the cylindrical balance-spring to be seen beating throughout the\u00a0<strong>three-day power reserve<\/strong>, including through a\u00a0<strong>large water-resistant porthole created in the case middle at 9 o&#8217;clock<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>A DESIGN INSPIRED BY POCKET WATCHES<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the FB 1 and FB 2 collections belong to the legacy of Ferdinand Berthoud&#8217;s marine chronometers,\u00a0<strong>the FB3 collection borrows from the style of the Master&#8217;s nephew, student and successor: Pierre-Louis Berthoud (1754-1813)<\/strong>. Born in 1754 in Couvet, in the Val-de-Travers, the latter moved to Paris at his uncle\u2019s request. In 1784, having skilfully assisted in the making and improving of his distinguished relative\u2019s marine chronometers, he was entrusted by Ferdinand Berthoud with the responsibility of his workshop, located since 1754 on Rue de Harlay, running along the Place Dauphine in Paris.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_06-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Ferdinand Berthoud: Chronom\u00e8tre FB3 SPC\" class=\"wp-image-18841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_06-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_06-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_06-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_06-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_06-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_06.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under his impetus, private watchmaking experienced considerable expansion. Louis Berthoud added his personal touch, which can be seen in the aesthetics of the mechanism. He inaugurated a style that was rooted in the highly functional appearance of marine chronometers,\u00a0<strong>where function dictated form<\/strong>. He developed these pragmatic designs at a time when the spirit of the age was shifting from the baroque and opulent style of the monarchy to neo-classicism during the early days of the Republic and subsequently the Empire. Thanks to his exceptional talent, Louis Berthoud made the workshop&#8217;s activity bear fruit by naturally accompanying the societal and stylistic changes of his time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_03-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Ferdinand Berthoud: Chronom\u00e8tre FB3 SPC\" class=\"wp-image-18838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_03-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_03-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_03.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This inspiration is evident at first glance in the FB3 collection.\u00a0<strong>Its new round case, available in 18-carat white or rose gold, recalls the curves of pocket watches from the early 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century, such as the decimal watch No. 26, made in 1793 by Louis Berthoud and now on display within the\u00a0Chronom\u00e9trie Ferdinand Berthoud\u00a0heritage collection in Fleurier<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single line hugs the curves of the domed crystal and the slender polished bezel of the FB 3 models, while harmoniously extending along the strap and the lugs screwed to the case. This refined and coherent ensemble echoes the slimness of the case (<strong>42 mm in diameter and 9.43 mm thick<\/strong>), which fades into the background so as to make way for the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE\u00a0FB3 SPC<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other deep-seated characteristic of Ferdinand Berthoud lies in the desire to create movements with a legible, graphic and three-dimensional architecture. The mainplate is placed at the heart of Calibre FB-SPC and the components are assembled on either side of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the dial side, a close-knit array of six bridges traces curves and lines directly inspired by the work of Louis Berthoud.

At 2 o&#8217;clock, the power-reserve indicator is engraved in a sector graduated in 12-hour segments from &#8220;0&#8221; to &#8220;1&#8221;<\/strong>. The rest of the dial, deliberately left open, enables one to admire the aesthetics of the movement&#8217;s components, their arrangement, as well as the surface conditions alternating between chamfered and polished bevels and matt surfaces created by fine sandblasting. The architecture of the movement is minimalist in appearance, yet no less complex. The hours and minutes flange, shaped like an amphitheatre, extends vertically to the mainplate.\u00a0<strong>The openworked and suspended seconds disc is secured from below to a dedicated bridge. The balance-bridge, with its distinctive screw-in heel shape, is a historical reference to Ferdinand Berthoud&#8217;s No. 3 astronomical watch. Positioned at 12 o\u2019clock, the barrel bridge spanning a wide 120\u00b0 angle recalls a bridge on the No. 2575 quarter-repeater watch made by Louis Berthoud.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_05-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Ferdinand Berthoud: Chronom\u00e8tre FB3 SPC\" class=\"wp-image-18840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_05-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_05-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ferdinand_Berthoud_Chronometre_FB3_SPC_Watch_Insanity_05.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Chronom\u00e8tre FB3 SPC is available in two versions.
