完整圖錄內容
Francois-Paul Journe has never been shy of taking existing complications and modifying them in a way where they become easily usable, understandable but also have the extra technical aspect that make them immediately recognizable as been one of his oeuvres.
The present UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) is the genius watchmakers take on the dual time zone but with a twist since 2011.
The blued hours/Minutes hands indicate the local time and are linked to the date indication. The smaller gold hand indicates home time on 24 hours. A colorful globe on the left hand side of the dial is divided into 24 timezones, via the crown the wearer moves the globe so that the home time zone is positioned on 0 for winter time. Simultaneously, the gold hand automatically adjusts itself to the corresponding hour of this region. The purpose of the +1 / -1 indicator is to change the specific region for summer time which is linked to the geographical location of the user depending if its east or west of the chosen zone.
Cased in a 40mm platinum exterior, the sub-dial of the hour and minutes features applied numerals that’s adds an extra depth to the vibrant dial. The date wheel is also in the colour of a matching blue that works extremely well with its blued hands. Powered by the calibre 1300.3, the timepiece has a power reserve of 120 hours, perfect for the jet-setter’s itinerary for 5 days.
Cherished by the original owner and preserved in excellent overall condition, the present timepiece is accompanied with a warranty that bears Monsieur. Journe’s autograph and its full set of accessories.
Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to UNICEF.

F.P. Journe
Swiss | 1999Founded by watchmaker Fran çois-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.
