Sincere is deeply settled in fine watchmaking retail in Asia and today boasts several stores, including its Sincere Haute Horlogerie boutiques specifically devoted to independent watchmakers, which represent Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud for several years now.

To celebrate Sincere’s seventieth birthday in 2024, the two maisons have joined forces to produce an exclusive version of the Chronomètre FB RES.

The movement of the Chronomètre FB RES features a double regulation system consisting of a fusee-and-chain mechanism and a one-second remontoir d’égalité. This unprecedented combination significantly improves the movement’s time-keeping performance in two ways:

•     at the start of the gear train, the fusee-and-chain mechanism delivers constant force from the barrel, irrespective of how much the spring has wound down.
•     Meanwhile, at the other end of the gear train, the remontoir d’égalité smooths out any irregularities in the running of the watch due to gear friction by temporarily storing energy before passing it on to the escapement in equal increments every second. This sequential impulse also makes it possible to have a deadbeat seconds display on the dial, marked out by a long central hand.

The dial, bridges and mainplate have been skeletonised and decorated to further enhance the exceptional mechanism. Particular care has been taken with the hand-bevelled and polished angles – with a total combined length of two metres, these require over two hundred and fifty hours of work in all.

The Chronomètre FB 1RES.3 Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition features a unique satin-brushed salmon dial, crafted from gilded 4N nickel-silver and encased in a 44mm platinum octagonal case—an exclusive combination for Sincere. Adorned with elegant dagger-shaped hour and minute hands in 18-carat gold, its technical design showcases a harmonious arrangement of bridges and a mainplate, with a broad opening from 3 o’clock to 6 o’clock that reveals three bridges converging at the center of the dial.

Each of the three pieces will be numbered (‘1 of 3’) and emblazoned with a special engraving of the Sincere logo in the nine o’clock position on the case – a graphical allegory based on the symbol for infinity.

FERDINAND BERTHOUD – Chronometre FB 1RES.4 Edition

FERDINAND BERTHOUD – Chronomètre FB 1RES.4 Anthracite Ceramic / Titanium Edition - 2024

THE CHRONOMÈTRE FB RES: A CUSTOMISABLE VERSION OF THE REMONTOIRE REVEALING ITS INTRICACIES

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Four years ago, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud unveiled the Chronomètre FB 2RE. This collection featuring numerous innovative aspects introduced the Maison’s second movement, equipped with fusee-and-chain transmission and a one-second remontoire device. This calibre, which has won awards for its precision timekeeping performance, now reveals more of how it operates through the customisable bridges and mainplate of the new Chronomètre FB RES.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

In 2020, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud unveiled its second collection, the Chronomètre FB 2RE . This timepiece marked a real turning point for the Maison: the first round case, the first display with three central hands; and above all the first movement with a double regulation system combining fusee-and - chain transmission with a one-second “remontoir d’égalité”. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO     

This movement is now offered with a completely revisited design intended to highlight its sophisticated inner workings . Formerly in domed Grand Feuenamel, the dial now features a technical combination of bridges and main plate as well as a wide opening stretching from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock . 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The latter reveals a construction with three bridges converging towards the dial centre. This geometry is directly inspired by a skeletonised table clock made by Ferdinand Berthoud circa 1775. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The similarity does not end there, as that clock displaying the hours, minutes, seconds, age of the Moon, calendar and zodiac signs was also equipped with a “remontoir d’égalité”. This timepiece in perfect working order is par t of the Maison’s heritage and is currently housed in the Ferdinand Berthoud Museum in Fleurier.

Two linear metres of hand chamfering

Exposing the movement components of the Chronomètre FB RES opens up unprecedented aesthetic perspectives, while simultaneously revealing a particularly meticulous finishing process.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Each wheel, bridge and screw is entirely hand -decorated. An extraordinary level of manual finishing has been applied in order to reveal the beauty of each component. Placed end to end, all the angles of the wheels and their bridges, as well as those revealed at the hear t of the 9 o'clock power- reserve display, represent more than two linear metres filed and polished by hand . 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The finishing of the bridges and mainplate is specific to this new model named FB RES – standing in French for "Remontoir d’Égalité Squelette”.

38 personalised calibres

Thirty-eight movements will be produced in total. They will be open to customisation in a wide range of options. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The shape (round or octagonal) and material (stainless - steel, titanium, ceramised titanium and 18 - carat white, yellow, or rose gold) of the case, the colour of the inner bezel ring, the dial and the associated finishes (sandblasted or satin - brushed): in all, more than 200 variations can be simulated on an online configurator specifically created for this model. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO    

Collectors will thus be able to bring to life variations that are unprecedented for Ferdinand Berthoud, notably including a calibre with a remontoire device in an octagonal case.

Peak precision

At the heart of this timepiece beats the Calibre FB -RES. FC, regulated by fusee- and - chain transmission and a one-second remontoire. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The purpose of this full-fledged chronometric complication is to even out the energy coming from the barrel and transmitted to the escapement. The device relies on a spring positioned between the two organs.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

It temporarily stores a small amount of energy, which is then delivered to the balance. The charge/discharge frequency of this buffer energy is very short: one second . It is this sequential impulse that the large central seconds hand beats off, connected to the “remontoir d’égalité” via an intermediate wheel. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

It therefore advances in one-second jumps: this is a true-beat mechanism also known as a deadbeat second and generated directly by the remontoire. All these mechanical intricacies are almost entirely visible through the back of the FB RES.

“ We are fremontoire to have in our Fleurier Museum this clock made in 1775 by Ferdinand Berthoud, which reveals its movement, including a “remontoir d’égalité” ”, says Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, President of Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud . “Imagining a modern interpretation of this exceptional work seemed a quite logical step. This gave rise to the idea behind the FB RES collection: a skeletonised, more technical version of our own Calibre FB- RE. FC with a one -second remontoire mechanism. ”

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The Chronomètre FB RES also perpetuates the Maison’s desire to offer collectors the possibility of personalising their timepieces through a wide range of options offered by this new configurator, directly accessible online on the Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud website.

ABOUT THE INSPIRATION

Skeletonised table clock, Ferdinand Berthoud, circa 1775

Four ring-shaped white enamelled dials for the hours (I-XII), minutes (60), seconds (60) and calendar (31); months (12) with zodiac signs; days of the week (7) and age of the moon (29 ½).

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

One main gear train and two strikework trains (hours and quarters). By means of a “remontoir d’égalité”, the main gear train supplies constant energy to the pin-pallet escapement.

The quarters strikework train (left) strikes the quarters on two bells. The hours strikework train (right) is activated after striking the quarters. It also activates the calendar.

CHRONOMÈTRE FB 3SPC.4: A LIMITED EDITION FOR ART IN TIME ANNIVERSARY

ART IN TIME Monaco celebrates its fifth anniversary. To mark the occasion, in close collaboration with the galerie horlogère, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud has created an exclusive five- piece limited series of the Chronomètre FB 3SPC, available for the first time in sandblasted titanium.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

When Karl -Friedrich Scheufele – Co - President of Chopard and President of Chronométrie Ferdinand Ber thoud – inaugurated ART IN TIME in Monaco in 2019, he created an unusual concept: a unique space uniting watchmaking houses around the shared values of craf tsmanship, independence and originality.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This pioneering space meets a growing need: to of fer collectors the chance to discover the rarest and most original creations from independent watchmaking houses. Eight of the latter joined the initiative when this exclusive space opened on the Riviera and the success of ART IN TIME is demonstrated by the fact that it now represents 24 Maisons offering highly sought - after timepieces from a number of independent master watchmakers, as well as innovative mechanical creations from well -known houses. “We are delighted with the results of our first five years in Monaco”, explains Karl - Friedrich Scheufele. “They exceed our expectations and reinforce the idea that such a place must exist in order to represent independent watchmakers with due dignity. ”

To celebrate this achievement and the gallery's fifth anniversary, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud and ART IN TIME are presenting an exclusive series of five Chronomètre FB 3SPC timepieces in sandblasted titanium. Winner of the Chronometry Prize at the 2023 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, the FB 3 collection remains the only one to date powered by a mechanical movement with a cylindrical balance-spring chronometer- certified by the COSC.

In addition to its original sandblasted titanium case, this anniversary series is also distinguished by its colour combination: its finely sandblasted, white rhodium -plated movement matches the white dial and inner bezel ring, complete with blue numerals and minutes track.

The only things that stand out from this composition are the gear train and the escapement with its cylindrical balance -spring at 9 o'clock. Representing a horological challenge in terms of both design and precision timing, this escapement has an average rate variation of between - 1 and +3 seconds per day. This is 2. 5 times more accurate than the variation accepted by the COSC, the highly selective test to which these movements are subjected.
