The Birth of a Watch - Ferdinand Berthoud, and the new Naissaince d'Une Montre 3

​@FerdinandberthoudCh #FerdinandBerthoud #naissancedunemontre #MONOCHROMEwatches Launched in 2009 by the Time Æon Foundation, the Nassaince d'Une Montre project aims to preserve and transmit traditional watchmaking techniques. It brings together watchmakers and artisans to create timepieces entirely by hand. Key supporters of the project include names like Philippe Dufour, Robert Greubel, Steven Forsey and.... Chopard's co-president and the man behind the renaissance of Ferdinand Berthoud: Karl Friedrich Scheufele. This third chapter in the Naissance d'Une Montre coincides with Berthoud's 10-year anniversary after its resurrection, and showcases the story of how the atelier perceives artisanal watchmaking. This does not involve any CNC machining and is crafted entirely by hand. Over 6 years of work have been poured into this watch, resulting in one of the most fascinating timekeepers out there. It includes a constant force mechanism with a fus-een-chain transmission system, a bi-metallic balance wheel, and a whole lot more to be discovered.
