完整圖錄內容
The Vagabondage III is the culmination of Mr. F. P. Journe’s restless spirit of innovation and dedication to horological excellence. Released in 2017 in an exclusive limited edition of 68 pieces in rose gold and 69 in platinum, it is the final instalment in the groundbreaking Vagabondage series first introduced in 1995.
True to form, Journe redesigned the movement entirely for the last iteration of the Vagabondage series. To power the digital jumping seconds display, which requires an immense amount of energy, he ingeniously incorporated his signature remontoir d'égalité mechanism to ensure a consistent amplitude in the balance wheel. Two discs visible through the smoked sapphire dial spin hypnotically at 6 o’clock, allowing the wearer to appreciate each leap of the seconds.
Framed in a traditional tortue shaped case, the Vagabondage III aestheticly modern thanks to its deceptively complex yet elegantly minimal pared-down dial.
The present example, numbered 38 of the 69 pieces made in platinum, is in exceptional condition and is further accompanied by its original accessories. For the Journe enthusiast looking to complete the trilogy or own a horological marvel, this timepiece will be a fine addition. Seldom does a watch so seamlessly fuse tradition and avant-garde in a harmonious vision of timekeeping as this, one of the most unusual and important wristwatches ever made.

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.
