  • 圖錄文章

    Made between 2002 and 2005, the F.P. Journe Ruthenium Collection comprises five early brass movement timepieces with each released as a limited edition of 99 pieces. Among these, the Octa Chronographe stands out as a particularly special piece, being the world's first automatic flyback chronometer chronograph with an oversized date window. It also features a larger 40mm case diameter, deviating from the traditional 38mm size of most of its predecessors, giving it a more modern appeal and presence on the wrist.

    Ruthenium, though uncommon in watchmaking, is a rare inert metal closely related to the platinum family in the periodic table. It is highly valued in aerospace engineering for its natural resistance to oxidation and exceptional hardness. In the Ruthenium Collection, the brass movements of each timepiece are fully coated with a light-absorbing ruthenium coating. Similarly, the white gold dial is specially coated with the same treatment, while still preserving the remarkable sheen and luster found in F.P. Journe's early solid gold dials. These dials often exhibit beautiful variations of patina, and in the case of the Ruthenium Collection, the tarnish-free darkness of the ruthenium coating enhances the glimmer of the underlying gold dial.

    The present Octa Chronographe numbered 52 is in well-preserved overall condition and comes complete with its certificate and accessories. This adds to its desirability and makes it a highly collectible piece for enthusiasts of F.P. Journe watches.

    F.P. Journe

    Swiss • 1999

    Founded 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.
