Berthoud...who's excited!?
Jan 30, 2015,09:17 AM
Good afternoon!
I was just thinking about the upcoming launch of the Berthoud brand from Chopard, and wanted to get a sense of your anticipation! The early days of marine chronometry and the birth of the chronometre escapement is my favorite historical period in watchmaking, and thus I am delighted that a brand is being created in homage to Ferdinand Berthoud.
What are your thoughts and expectations for this new brand?
Cheers!
Brandon

I'm excited!

Though, as MTF indicated, we still know nothing of what to expect, officially. What do I dream of, though? The possibilities are endless. A request, if Chopard is listening: a detent escapement, maybe? Best, CaliforniaJed
