Introduced in 2004, the second-generation Tourbillon Souverain, known to collectors as the “TN” or Tourbillon Nouveau, represented a comprehensive evolution of François-Paul Journe’s inaugural wristwatch. Its manually wound, 18K pink gold calibre 1403 combines a one-minute tourbillon with a patented constant-force remontoir d’égalité and deadbeat seconds, advancing the seconds hand in precise one-second intervals.

The seconde morte, or “deadbeat seconds,” is a poetic and technically demanding complication in which the seconds hand appears to pause and jump precisely once per second, even as the escapement continues to beat smoothly in the background. Combined with the constant force remontoire, the result is a tourbillon built for extraordinary precision. Fitted with an 18k pink gold movement and cased in either platinum or pink gold, the 40mm Tourbillon Souverain was produced until 2018, marking the end of a defining chapter in Journe’s early work.

The present, extraordinary example is distinguished by its exceptionally rare red gold “Régence Losange” dial, painstakingly engraved with an interlocking geometric motif inspired by the decorative arts of the Régence period. Its richly textured surface contrasts beautifully against the silver guilloché hours, minutes and seconds displays, complemented by Journe’s signature blued steel hands.

Cased in platinum and fitted with a substantial, signed and hallmarked F.P. Journe platinum bracelet, the present watch is accompanied by a certificate personally signed by François-Paul Journe confirming it as part of an exclusive edition of only 10 examples. Combining exceptional rarity, artisanal dial-making and one of Journe’s most important chronometric achievements, it represents one of the most coveted executions of the Tourbillon Souverain.

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.
