Catalogue Essay
Launched in 2005, the Chronometre Souverain was the first F.P. Journe wristwatch to incorporate a guilloche dial which pairs beautifully along with the signature blued steel hands. It was granted the winning title of the “Favourite Men’s Watch" award from GPHG. Powered by the in-house manually-would cal. 1304, the movement is made entirely of 18K pink gold and features a central twin barrel with a combined 56 hours of power reserve.
Blending comfort, innovation and style into one, the present Chronomètre Souverain is dressed in a warm tobacco brown is dubbed “Havana”. Developed by Journe’s own dial maker, Les Cadraniers de Genève, the colour is a combination of gold and ruthenium that underwent rigorous adjustment to perfect the formula. The present example encased in a discreet 40mm diameter platinum case is detailed with Clous de Paris hobnail pattern, combined with its soft cream coloured hands and numerals, all elements beautifully complement each other in the warm hues of the Cuban essence.
Presented in barely worn condition with its guarantee and accessories, the present timepiece will most certainly attract the ever-growing enthusiast and collectors of F.P. Journe.

F.P. Journe
Swiss | 1999Founded by watchmaker François-Paul Journe in 1999, the F.P. Journe brand is relatively young, but already is as highly regarded by collectors as many distinguished manufacturers with centuries-old heritage. In the minds of the world's savviest collectors, Journe is producing some of the finest wristwatches the market has ever seen. Mastering his craft from restoring historical timepieces, he was the first to create a wristwatch incorporating two escapements that benefit from the phenomenon of resonance — the Chronomètre à Résonance.
Key models include the Résonance, tourbillon wristwatches incorporating a remontoir and the limited edition Vagabondage series. Especially sought-after are his earliest "souscription" watches, made in 1999.
