In-Depth: The Chopard Group Launches La Chronometrie Ferdinand Berthoud, And FB 1, A Marine Chronome
On September 22nd, the Chopard Group (which includes Chopard, the watch and jewelry maison, as well as Fleurier Ebauches, SA, the movement manufacturer) announced the very first timepiece from La Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud. La Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud is a new business for the Group – it was first announced in 2013, and its first wristwatch represents what co-presidents Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and Caroline Scheufele (brother and sister) hope will be the first in a series of wristwatches inspired by the life and work of Ferdinand Berthoud. These watches are intended to be a no-holds-barred exercise in luxury watchmaking, and will occupy a commensurate price point, but according to Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, whom we interviewed at the launch event at the Yacht Club de France, Chopard also hopes to stimulate interest in, and awareness of, one of the most important figures in the history and evolution of the marine chronometer. 1 OF 17 Ferdinand

It was clean, it was classy, and a hell of a watch. I received many compliments for the 292 and was steadily falling in love with it so much so that I haven't stopped wearing the watch for the 2 weeks that I owned it.One friday evening (6-June-2014) I was having dinner with a few friends at a high end shopping mall in Jakarta when my stomach decided to give me a ring, notifying me of a long trip to the bathroom. It took me 30 seconds to go to the bathroom, 1 minute to clean it up, and another 10 seconds to take of my watch and finally sitting down to get to doing my business.10 minutes later I stood up only to find out that my watch has, amazingly, vanished. I stood there with my mouth wide open, looking at the e
