The marine chronometer DNA remains omnipresent, be it in the characteristic octagonal case recalling an overhead view of an historical marine chronometer in its box, or in the architecture of Caliber FB-T.FC built on 15 bridges and three half-bridges in nickel silver. Filtering through four lateral \u2018portholes\u2019 serving to admire the operation of the fusee-and-chain transmission ensuring constant force, the light plays over its 1,120 components. From an aesthetic and technical standpoint, giving new life to historical splendors in no way prevents today\u2019s talented entrepreneur from enriching this contemporary creation with innovations \u2013 witness the filing of four patents for the suspended tourbillon, the power reserve, the fusee and the barrel. Not to mention the rare sight of a central sweep seconds-hand combined with a suspended tourbillon.
