A year ago, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud revealed the diversity of talents associated with the Naissance d'une Montre 3 project, a timepiece with an entirely hand-developed fusee-and-chain transmission, the first of which is slated for launch in 2025. Today, for the very first time, part of its aesthetic is revealed through its display: a new dial and hands, inspired by the work of the Master Horologist. The hours and minutes displays are off-centred on a single, hand-engraved 18-carat gold dial providing both indications between 1 and 2 o'clock – the former expressed by Roman numerals and the latter by Arabic numerals. In the same spirit, their associated hands are also differentiated: the minutes hand features a bevelled tip and the hours hand ends in an arrow. Nearly two days' work are required to produce the hours hand alone, involving no fewer than 54 separate micromechanical operations for the actual making, followed by 13 decoration operations.
