[@RunningFast]

Thank you so much for this in-depth video! I just saw this watch at Cellini and met Vincent Lapaire and while the watch was stunning in person and Vincent such a friendly and knowledgeable host, it was very busy so having this video to explain the technical details is so helpful in putting context around such a beautiful piece. Really great new release, congrats to the FB team!

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks for sharing this encounter with Vincent, indeed a very nice person and happy you saw it in real. The very best to you

❤️🙆👌Stunning Even the word 'doesn't do enough' to describe the construction of this watch

[@watchestv-com]

Oh that’s nice, very you liked it and yes it’s really a stunner 👍

[@-JohnGalt-]

I just love FB so much. Such an under appreciated brand in the larger sphere of the watch world. Amazing work they are doing over there. Thanks, Marc, for bringing us another incredible glimpse into the world of high horology. Cheers!

[@ardian2010]

Very beautiful watch.

[@watchestv-com]

[@thewealthwatchman]

I've learned to trust my first impressions when looking at a new dial... And my first impression is...wow!

[@watchestv-com]

First impressions are often the ones to go by!!! Thanks and best to you

[@HRM.H]

Stunning piece with a real design style of its own. It feels to me like a mix between Breguet and Armin Strom , in a good way.

[@watchestv-com]

Totally stunning, very well balanced in terms of proportions and usage of space! Thanks and the best to you

[@shafishafi8892]

Super efforts sir...

[@watchestv-com]

As you say ;) Best to you

[@arnauda5311]

Encore une merveille de Fleurier !! Viva Ferdinand Berthoud and Viva Watchmaking ! ;)

[@watchestv-com]

Ca c'est bine dit!!! Mille mercis

[@alvarocuchacovich8166]

Amazing timepiece and extremely beautiful. The only thing that bothers me a little is that if I understand well, the cylindrical hairspring “complication” advantage is merely visual, it doesn’t solve any issues, it is very hard to regulate and required serious development. Still very interesting and refreshing. Thanks for sharing.

[@watchestv-com]

Cylindrical hairspring were mainly used in marine chronometers and offer a significant chronometrical advantage in such timepieces. So here it translates a bit into that but very true that on an aesthetics point of view, they are just beautiful to look at, there is some magic in how they deploy. The best to you

[@alvarocuchacovich8166]

@@watchestv-com thanks for the insight on the marine chronometers. Always a pleasure to learn from you. Regards

[@FerdinandberthoudCh]

Technically, the cylindrical hairspring is coiled vertically along the axis of the balance wheel, compared to a flat hairspring. It reduces the friction on pivots. The challenge was to adapt is on a wristwatch and make it COSC-certified, therefore the watchmakers need to create perfect manual curves on the hairspring. Everything relies on those adjustments and we spent two years to find the perfect curves for this purpose.

[@alvarocuchacovich8166]

@@FerdinandberthoudCh thank you for your response!

[@Nefville]

As much as people love MB&F I love Ferdinand Berthoud. They really do make some of the best watches in the world. This and the Hand Made 1 are really about as high as high horology gets. Of course there are insane one-offs and everyone has their favorite brands but let me have mine.

[@hoffmancapote]

Really beautiful watch. One of the most attractive watches I have seen. It is all harmonised in a unique way. A little off topic you have changed your slender rimmed glasses(spectacles)to a broader rim. A temporary move or a transition?

[@watchestv-com]

Well those were my old ones and had forgotten my news ones ;) and thanks a lot for your comment, much appreciated

[@lefataliste]

Thank you! This is true and admirable watchmaking. Nothing to do with the recent AP and PP releases (which I personally found very disappointing, if not stupid).

[@watchestv-com]

Well let’s say a lot of efforts have been pit into this new release ;) best to you

[@metalbones]

A cylindrical hairspring eliminates the stress on the pivot point and reduces friction .

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Best to you and a good weekend ahead

[@adolf-8834]

Tappers down centrifugal energy pressure

[@sergezerkin]

Wow you really teach us so much about brands … what do you say is your favorite if you compare the Ferdinand Berthold, a Lange, Moritz Grossman, Laurent Ferrier, Kari Voutilainen, Romain Gauthier,

[@mohammadirfan5973]

Beautiful it's just not a watch it's a amazing art work

[@watchestv-com]

And you're absolutely right 👍

[@jeremyestevinho9425]

Les images sont incroyable….. bravo Watch TV Ma montre est spectaculairement spectaculaire Et quel est le prix de ce bijoux ? C’est fabuleux Merci l’équipe de nous faire partager ça 😘😘😘

[@chrisrussell63]

So if I understand correctly, this piece is COSC certified, which gives it a range of +6 to -4 sec/day. Does the cylindrical hairspring allow it to perform better than a $1000 off-the-shelf watch? I have an ordinary production automatic that keeps time to within 1 second a month. It is guaranteed to within +/- 2 sec/day. Where's the beef?

[@u.d.7543]

It is obvious they have been looking at watches of Greubel Fersey, especially the hand made 1. I really really like these kinds of watches. Architecture is amazing. Sadly, thes watches are to expensive to buy.

[@watchestv-com]

There’s a really nice balance between true classical watchmaking with a modern interpretation. Thanks for the comment

[@Penny2105]

Hand Made 1 and FB3 are two different watches!

[@johnburgess6572]

Well...wow !

[@mohamedalketbi2326]

Cylindrical hairspring exists on other brands like Montblanc , alchemist etc

[@watchestv-com]

True and a distinctive feature of marine chronometers too

[@misteratoz]

Seems fb's finishing is spectacular, only eclipsed by the likes of greubel forsey.

[@danielbischoff3076]

Didn't one if the gyrotourbillions from jeager lecoultre have a cylindrical hairspring? I couldve sworn it does

[@watchestv-com]

Maybe one of them now that you mention it, but in this video it's a flat hairspring: kzbin.info/www/bejne/op7bfXSQj5eZnq8

[@chia-mingyang5804]

JLC does have a tourbillon using a cylindrical hairspring.

[@lankysudanese]

What is the price?

[@sanneklijs841]

super

[@adolf-8834]

Perfect dream

[@Carlentinesexclusives]

👌👌👌

[@ashtonkee5868]

A masterpiece. However, personally I would have preferred it if they didn’t go with that sandblasted effect, not that I can afford one either way anyway !! 🤣😅😁 And even if I could afford one, I’m not one who’s into all these long waiting list nonsense.
