Catalogue Essay
- F.P. Journe introduced the Octa collection in 2001, a groundbreaking achievement in watchmaking. Featuring automatic movements with an impressive 120-hour power reserve, the collection maintained the same case size regardless of complications—a true technological feat that remains remarkable to this day.
- In 2007, responding to feedback from friends, François-Paul Journe developed a new caliber, the Cal. 1300.3, to optimize winding efficiency, even for those with a sedentary lifestyle. Designed to activate the rotor with even the slightest arm movement, this innovative automatic movement took three years of research and development before its debut, showcasing F.P. Journe’s commitment to technical excellence.
- The present Octa Lune Havane, produced only between 2016 and 2018, is one of the rarest variants of the collection. Its rich chocolate brown dial, a unique blend of gold and ruthenium, reflects the brand’s independence and creative freedom. Developed by F.P. Journe’s in-house dialmakers, Les Cadraniers de Genève, the dial required months of refinement to achieve its distinctive hue. Paired with a noble platinum case, this Octa Lune Havane is a sublime example of independent watchmaking, making it a standout addition to any discerning collection.

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.
