Dream watch

elliot55's recent post with gorgeous photos of the white gold/white dial version of the Ferdinand Berthoud ref. FB 2RE (Remontoir d'Égalité) reminded me how much I loved the rose gold/black dial variant when it was launched. Enamel dial and, on the back side, fusee-and-chain transmission combined with a one-second remontoir d’égalité mechanism (caliber FB-RE.FC). The case is 44 x 14.3mm. 


The exact reference number of this version is FB 2RE.2 and the reference number of the white gold/white dial version is FB 2RE.1.

And two other variants were launched later: rose gold/white dial (ref. FB 2RE.2-1) and white gold/black dial (ref. FB 2RE.1-1): cf. below.

So here are some nice shots found online.

Best to you all.

If only these fit on my smallish wrist.

The problem with Marine Chronometers turned into watches... They're really big watches!

Really a feast for the eyes!

I looked up the specs this morning and saw that basically it's a tank on the wrist. Stunning pieces.

Yes, a true dream watch.

I love that it is both horologically fascinating and classic looking with a gorgeous solid enamel dial.
