F.P Journe Souveraine Chronometre Optimum

Part of the F.P Journe Souveraine range. The Chronometre Optimum model embodies the culmination of F.P Journe chronometric research for a wrist watch. Combining rich knowledge of the history of time with modern technologies and the example set by the great masters, the chronometre Optimum most certainly joins the great iconic timepieces of F.P Journe Haute Horology, in an ongoing quest for precision, innovation and excellence. This particular model is made in solid platinum case with sapphire crystal glass exhibition case back, held on a genuine black crocodile strap with a platinum pin buckle. It is fitted with an exceptionally complicated and highly decorated mechanically hand wound 18ct rose gold calibre 1510 movement. The movement encompasses a majority of exceptional components brought together for the first time in one watch: two barrels in parallel, the constant-force remontoire, the new EBHP revolutionary escapement, and the natural dead beat second. The dial of the watch is gold and silver guilloche clous de Paris, with indicators showing the seconds, power reserve and the visible wheel of the constant-force remotoir. The hours and minutes are displayed on an offset subdial. The watch is finsihed with a sapphire crystal glass.
