Introduced in 2017, the F.P. Journe Vagabondage III was the final version of the Vagabondage series, released as a limited edition of 68 pieces in pink gold and 69 pieces in platinum. Encased in a classic tortue-shaped case used for all of Journe’s Vagabondage timepieces, what is housed inside is undoubtedly the main attraction. Conquering what was deemed to be impossible, the Vagabondage III was a true statement to the industry that indeed a jumping digital seconds complication was possible. Two discs rotating by the second at 6 o’clock displays the mechanism in full view, allowing the wearer to appreciate every single jump of the second.

Exposed as extensively as possible, the dial side features the most elaborate skeletonization in comparison to the previous two Vagabondage models. Also featuring a digital jumping hour on the top left corner of the dial, this third Vagabondage was difficult to execute and assemble it together. As a result, the Vagabondage III is not only the most visually exposed of the series, but also the most technically challenging to accomplish. With the tremendous energy needed to power the digital jumping seconds, F.P. Journe incorporated his signature remontoire d'égalité mechanism to advance the time each second.

Discontinued in 2019, the present example in pink gold is numbered 17 of a limited edition of 68 pieces and is offered in excellent overall condition and furthermore accompanied by the full set of accessories. To every Journe collector, this Vagabondage III represents a completely unique approach to the display of time an impressive technical feat that is worth collecting.
