Catalogue Essay
Unveiled in 2011, the F.P. Journe “Line Sport” collection was dedicated to rigorous precision for sports activity. The Centigraphe Sport in particular is the first wristwatch ever to be made entirely in aluminium, a true technical marvel characterized by its patented engineering innovations and astounding ultra-lightweight of only 55 grams.
Reflecting Journe’s technical superiority and rigorous standard in quality, the timepiece is powered by the in-house manual wound movement calibre 1506 manufactured entirely from aluminium alloy,
and provides an intricate reading of 100th of a second with the foudroyante (or lightning) seconds, 20 seconds and 10 minutes. Each subsidiary dial displays the time scale in red with abbreviations of ‘S’, ‘M’ or ‘PR’ indicating seconds or minutes per revolution. The rocker stop and reset button further allows for the fingers to stay in the same place, instead of moving back and forth between buttons as on a conventional chronograph.
Exclusively produced between 2011 to 2014, the model was later replaced by the titanium versions of the lineage. The present example is preserved in “like-new” condition, and is accompanied by its complete set of original accessories, it represents a delightful marriage of functional ergonomics and high precision horology, and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a milestone watch in the history of F.P. Journe.

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.
