Debuted since 2011, the Chronomètre Bleu is a quintessential classic of Mr. Journe’s masterpieces and has quickly became one of the most sought after timepieces amongst collectors in recent years. Encased in an elegant 39mm case made of tantalum, the dark grey tinted metal is rarely used in watchmaking due to its high density and difficulty to work with. The most captivating element of this timepiece lies upon its beautiful chrome blue dial. With a ray of light, the metallic chrome dial radiates with incredible sheens of blue, it is easy for one to be drawn in admiration instantly. Dedicated to deliver the highest quality of haute horology, this mesmerising colour of blue is obtained by meticulous precision of hand applied blue lacquer layers, each polished to a mirror finish before the next layer is applied. Fitted with the choice of off-white hands in contrast with the polished dial, the timepiece is extremely legible and harmonized.
The present example from circa 2013 is offered with its original warranty and fitted presentation box.
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.
