    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.

F.P. Journe

When Journe developed the Octa line, it was always designed to house and power a host of complications and the line saw chronographs, perpetual calendars and moonphases added but it took 10 years before the appearance of a second time-zone in the form of the Octa UTC. Universal Time Coordinated, is the international reference time (rather than the English Language favoured GMT) and here the second time-zone is displayed cleverly nested within the main sub-dial with a gold hand and matching 24 hour time scale. A clever time zone map at 8 o'clock tracks the location of your reference time as you travel whilst the signature large date and 120 hour power reserve maintain absolute practicality. Presented with its original F.P. Journe wooden box, warranty card, service history, stylus & booklet, we are pleased to present this 40mm version in superb condition.
