The Octa Réserve de Marche was F.P. Journe’s third creation under his brand name after the Tourbillon and the Chronomètre à Résonance. A precision chronometer as indicated on the movement’s engraved bridge - it was the first self-winding movement to provide 120 hours of power reserve and chronometric precision, a world record for a wristwatch at the time.
Developed in 2001 and first released in 2002, the earliest examples of the model feature a 38mm diameter case and a movement composed of brass. Journe wanted to create a base movement, with a 120-hour power reserve into which could be integrated different complications without modifying the dimensions of the movement. Caliber 1300 was born measuring 30mm in diameter and 5.5 thickness. After 2004, he decided to stop using brass and started to fully integrate into creating 18K gold movements with a 22K gold rotor, specific to the Octa series.
Taking a closer look at its aesthetic composition, the dial is asymmetric, with the time displayed within a framed sub-dial on the right. However, the eye is drawn to the left side of the dial with the power reserve indicator and oversized date aperture. Highly legible and balanced, this new and refreshing design is pure F. P. Journe’s artistry.
The present piece dating from 2004 is one of the earliest models featuring a pink gold movement, the combination of which is very rare for a 38 millimeter piece.
Featuring all the signature characteristics coveted by Journe enthusiasts combined with an excellent state of preservation, the present Octa Réserve de Marche will be a great addition to any collection of fine timepieces.
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.
