The complicated chronometry of Ferdinand Berthoud

Inspired by 18th-century watchmaking, the FB 2T.2 and FB 3SPC.2 are incredibly contemporary.

The Ferdinand Berthoud FB 2T.2 is the end of the beginning

Since 2015, this seminal mechanism, the Calibre FB-T.FC has been the backbone of the collection, but it, like all good things, must come to an end. The Ferdinand Berthoud FB 2T.2 is the brand’s way of sending it off in style, with an exceptional final edition of 38 pieces. However, it’s highly likely that none of the 38 pieces in this special edition will look the same because the watch can be extensively customised to the owner’s preference. To make it easier for you, Ferdinand Berthoud released three ‘standard’ editions, including the FB 2T.2. With a rose gold case and a black satin-brushed dial.
