The F.P.Journe Quantième Perpétuel with instantaneous jump portrays a unique look, setting it apart from other perpetual calendars. Its clean dial offers optimal readability with large displays: two for the day and month, and a distinct large date in dual windows, a hallmark attribute of F.P.Journe. This instantaneous transition is powered by a clever mechanism, which accumulates energy and releases it swiftly during date, day, or month shifts, then decelerates towards the end of its movement. Contrary to many perpetual calendars which can be tricky to adjust, the F.P.Journe Quantième Perpétuel is user-friendly. Adjustments are made effortlessly via the three-position crown, with the exception of month corrections. For this, there's a concealed corrector lever under the 1 o'clock lug, allowing for quick changes without any specialized tools. . #fpjourne #fpjourneofficial #quantiemeperpetual #perpetualcalendar #octa #watchmaking #horology #watches

The F.P.Journe Tourbillon Souverain showcases a Titanium tourbillon cage that stands vertically, completing one rotation every 30 seconds. Encircling this cage, a brilliantly polished frame mirrors the visual of a broad, horizontal, swinging balance wheel. Paying tribute to its 1991 prototype predecessor, the Tourbillon Souverain omits a comprehensive dial. Instead, the 18K Gold mainplate, adorned with guilloché, takes on the role of the dial, and the Grand Feu enamel subdial is seamlessly integrated onto it. . #fpjourne #fpjourneofficial #tourbillonsouverain #tourbillon #horology #watchmaking #watches

Chronographs are often viewed as intricate complications in watches, demanding considerable energy for precise operation. For the F.P.Journe Centigraphe, a cutting-edge chronograph that measures incredibly fast speed intervals down to 1/100th of a second, the energy demand was so substantial it could hamper the watch's overall performance. In response, François-Paul Journe incorporated a special barrel he previously designed for the Sonnerie Souveraine. This patented barrel is ingeniously crafted to release the mainspring energy from two directions. Consequently, the chronograph can draw its power directly from the mainspring without disrupting the primary timekeeping function, which also derives its energy straight from the barrel. . #fpjourne #fpjourneofficial #centigraphe #linesport #watchmaking #horology #watches

For its fifth appearance at Only Watch, F.P.Journe presents a unique model, the Chronomètre Furtif Bleu, crafted solely for this event. This is the first-ever watch to be adorned with a full Tantalum case and bracelet, specially designed for Only Watch, powered by an 18K rose Gold mechanism, a signature hallmark feature of the Manufacture. The Chronomètre Furtif's name is inspired by its elusive time-reading feature: unless directly facing the wearer, the blue enamel dial only displays the frosted numbers under certain light reflections. Inside this exquisite piece ticks a newly developed hand-wound movement, Calibre 1522, with direct central seconds – a premiere for F.P.Journe. Notably, this watch includes a moon phase and power reserve indicator embedded in the movement, only visible through the sapphire caseback. This makes it a truly personal timepiece, with functions known exclusively to its owner, a theme carried over from the elusive nature of the dial. . The Chronomètre Furtif Bleu will be auctioned off for charity at Only Watch’s 10th edition, this coming November 5th, in Geneva. All proceeds will be donated to fund research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. . #fpjourne #fpjourneofficial #chronometrefurtifbleu #onlywatch #watches

The Répétition Souveraine stands out subtly with its steel casing. This material choice, recognized for its crystalline structure, offers the minute repeater an enhanced and resonant tone. Additionally, steel provides a lightweight alternative to Platinum and Gold, ensuring a notably comfortable fit around the wrist. Slimness defines the Répétition Souveraine as it ranks among the thinnest minute repeater watches with a full height of just 8.8 mm. The inner movement itself is a mere 4.00 mm tall and incorporates a flat steel gong for increased clarity. Furthermore, its inertia regulator eradicates the "whizzing" noise often found with conventional air regulators. . #fpjourne #fpjourneofficial #repetitionsouveraine #minuterepeater #horology #watchmaking #watches

Born from a conversation between François-Paul Journe and legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, the FFC marks one of the most complicated timepieces produced by F.P.Journe. . Its mechanical prowess is powered by the Octa caliber, recognized by its remarkably stable, 120-hour chronometric power reserve. . The functions of the animated hand are controlled by a Remontoir d’Égalité, which winds over the course of 40 minutes, each hour. At the hour, the spring releases a highly regulated and precise amount of energy which sets in motion a series of 10 cams, controlling the digits of the hand. . Like the Astronomic Souveraine, each FFC is not given a serial number, but is named after its caretaker. . #fpjourne #fpjourneofficial #ffc #francisfordcoppola #watchmaking

“All the spices that make a good meal” was François-Paul Journe’s formula when it came to designing the F.P.Journe Chronomètre Optimum. . Seen through the caseback are the four key elements that combine together to create one of François-Paul’s most performant timepieces. . First, the use of double barrels arranged in parallel, providing a highly stable source of energy that inflicts less pressure and friction on the main gear. . Second, the remontoir d’égalité which is a constant force mechanism that controls the flow of energy to the escapement so that it remains constant throughout the watch’s autonomy. . Third, a unique bi-axial escapement developed by François-Paul Journe in order to eliminate the needs of any volatile lubricants, and yet adapted to be self-starting. . Finally, for an overall better equilibrium, the use of a Phillips curve hairspring. . All together, these components function to provide up to 50 hours of energy without any loss in amplitude. . #fpjourne #fpjourneofficial #chronometreoptimum #escapement #horology #watches #watchmaking

Powering the F.P.Journe Chronographe Rattrapante is caliber 1518, a manual winding movement comprised of 285 individual components. . The caliber takes advantage of a pinion-activated chronograph construction, deemed more efficient than a more traditional horizontally coupled mechanism. . The oscillating pinion eliminates the general ‘stutter’ of a chronograph hand when activated, and results in a more compact construction. . The split-second chronograph is a highly complex and power-consuming complication, yet François-Paul Journe managed to create a distinctive manual movement that provides 80 hours of chronometric performance, allowing the wearer to use the chronograph well after two days since fully winding the watch. . Of the various chronograph complications, the rattrapante is highly coveted by collectors and aficionados for its design and appreciated complexity. . As part of the lightweight Titanium lineSport, the caliber’s bridges are made of an Aluminum alloy. The movement weighs a mere 81 g. . #fpjourne #fpjourneofficial #linesport #chronograph #chronographerattrapante #splitsecond #rattrapante #horology #watches #watchmaking

The F.P.Journe Automatique showcases a hallmark design trait of François-Paul Journe’s work, originating from the early 1990s: the off-centered time display. .
