My dear friends, First, an apology, I received this masterpiece last November and have only just got round to making a posting. Sorry! I first clapped eyes on it at the 2022 W&W. Oh God! I thought, how am I going to afford this one, how am I going to tell...
It's a deeply....

impressive watch. My sincere congratulations, and wishes for long-term enjoyment.... Thank you for the excellent images, cheers, Filip
Believe me,

it has been my pleasure! Kind regards Antony
My kind or watch.

Also kudos on your choice of a spouse. 140k chf would not get past my Canadian wife!
She chose me!
By: ant : April 30th, 2024-20:05
I did not have any choice but to submit! I'm pleased that she did. Kind regards, Antony
Thank you

I am indeed a lucky man, I don't know what I did to merit it! Kind regards, Antony
It is that
By: ant : April 30th, 2024-20:09
I am sure that we will be seeing a lot more in the future. Kind regards, Antony
Gorgeous.

I’m surprised by all the nuances on the case
Your wife deserves a watch for her kindness :-)

Otherwise, this FB is to die for and I'm truly happy for you. On my end, the only thing that I can afford to compete with you is to purchase a €12 entrance ticket to the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Museum of Arts and Crafts),10' away from my place in Paris...
Maybe you are looking

into the future of KFS's Berthoud? What amazing clocks. Just a small point, I hope that you didn't see my post as competitive in any way. There is huge merit and interest in vintage, off the beaten track, horology. Kind regards Antony
Fantastic!
By: InHavenPro : April 30th, 2024-21:39
Funny that
By: ant : April 30th, 2024-20:31
it really appealed to me as well! Kind regards, Antony
From an aesthetic
By: ant : April 30th, 2024-23:38
and wearable POV, I agree. The FB1 and FB2 are obviously a cut above in pure horology, but I'm very content with the peasant model! Kind regards, Antony
Quite!

Wonderful!
By: bruckner4 : April 30th, 2024-21:16
Love what they're doing at Berthoud. Congratulations!
I agree
By: ant : April 30th, 2024-23:31
but they are only warming up! I think that there will be ever more remarkable pieces in the future. Kind regards Antony
A real grail, congrats
By: m2 : April 30th, 2024-21:34
The movement architecture, finishing, and everything about the watch are just perfect. It's nice they are backed by Chopard too, as you know you can get it serviced later
All agreed!

KInd regards Antony
Exactly!

When I saw it, and heard 42mm my heart sank. In the event, because of the short lugs, it is great on the wrist. Kind regards, Antony
I am afraid that

I don't have the skills. Kind regards, Antony
Yeah, honesty is the best policy
By: ant : April 30th, 2024-23:35
.....most of the time! Thanks for your kind wishes, I hope to enjoy it for many years. Kind regards, Antony

Good morning Mitch

We are both blessed men, who'd would have thought it? Where did it all go right? Looking forward to seeing you asap. Kindest regards Antony
Thank you for sharing the well taken photos Antony!
By: sham1 : May 1st, 2024-06:48
It is indeed one of the best if not the best time only watch in the market at present but unlike you, I do not have the deep pockets to be able to afford one unless I do sell those lovable creatures in my collection. Lucky you that KFS presented you the w...
G'day Sham
By: ant : May 1st, 2024-07:30
I am pleased that you like it. I was deeply honoured by KFS presenting it to me. Modesty? I have a lot to be modest about! Kindest regards Antony
I completely agree
By: ant : May 1st, 2024-07:28
I expect that FB will gradually produce a bigger range of irresistable pieces, they'll get you eventually! Kind regards Antony
it is that,
By: ant : May 1st, 2024-07:58
thank you. Kind regards, Antony
Simply beautiful watch and the most wearable
By: Derreck : May 1st, 2024-09:10
from FB. The finishing, the design, everything looks just superb. Big congratulations to you and of course thank you for sharing so many detailed photos to be lost in them.
A labour of love,

Taking those pics made me look at it all again, what a great piece! Thanks for reading. Kind regards, Antony
It's all about

the watch, and it is completely OTT wonderful. I feel lucky to have it. Kind regards, Antony
Excellent watch

I handed the Only Watch version of FB3, at Christie's before the auditing brouhaha, and thought the movement was just wonderful. Like WONDERFUL: who wants to make features of historical clocks WORK work? The only weakness in the Only Watch example is its ...
All agreed
By: ant : May 1st, 2024-17:33
who makes historical clock concept transfers to watches work? KFS, that's who!! Kind regards, Antony
