As near perfection as one can get
Enter text Thanks to a dear friend I was given the opportunity to see a number of Ferdinand Berthoud models. I ostensibly went to see the newly released FB 3. When I met with Ken from Chopard we went over all the models and while he spoke glowingly of the...
An absolute triumph
I love how this brand has been cultivated to top chronometry and finishing. KFS has done a good job here. I have never seen one but definitely think I would like if the size was agreeable. Thanks for sharing.
KFS has a definite vision for this brand.
He inspects and has to approve of every FB before it can be delivered. Lot of respect for this brand.
Have loved FB the first time I saw one...
...as for your wife, she's always right. Never forget that...
Epochal =))
Truly outstanding in every conceivable way. Tremendous enjoyment with it!! Cheers, Filip
Congratulations on this magnificent watch. I had the pleasure
to handle one. It was very convincing if there wasn’t the huge price tag. It might sound strange but it seemed to be the best possible crossbreeding of a Panerai Luminor Marina there could be.😄
Ha. My thought it is a piece unto itself. Though
I expect that there is a story behind the development of this movement.
I can only fully agree, Mitch!!
Congratulations to you. That is a top level timepiece. Nothing better. Maybe some different, or some as good, but none better. Did I say Congratulations? Very happy for you!!
Wow.
I have never seen this watch. What a marvel. Absolutely stunning. Thanks you for sharing.
Thanks Gary. Again there is a history behind the movement I believe. KFS has been
Instrumental in honoring the work of Berthoud and his family. It truly is the magic of the Berthoud team and all congratulations go to them.
Wow congrats Mitch you finally pulled the trigger
I remember when you told me about this situation back in Nov when we discussed the FB3 and indeed you said the same thing I’m so happy for you and hope that I could see it in the flesh this coming July
The wife is always right!
I am delighted for you Mitch. It must be about the most interesting, properly engineered and developed watch out there. And it's yours! As far as I can tell it is the real deal. So, unfortunately for your general watch lust, a defining moment, a genuine e...
Ha. First of all my dear friend, it is thanks to you that this marvel has come to me, so thank you once again. Second, is it the end of? Not likely.
If one climbs Mount Everest does one not climb any other mountains? I think they do. The passion is deeply seated in us both.
She was right indeed! Ken is an amazing fella.
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Ken in Dubai and he is one knowledgeable fella. Big congrats to you and your spouse! And what a watch! I find the dual pallet forks to be especially interesting to me. Mesmerizing.
Of COURSE the wife is right. You married Mrs. Right :)
If she says you should get the timepiece... get the timepiece.
Pure art indeed
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to see it in the metal Mitch...👍
