GOOD TO KNOW
• One of five pieces made for the 50th anniversary of Sincere Fine Watches
• Exceptionally dynamic black mother-of-pearl dial and 18K pink gold case
• Early TN with 04 case measuring 40mm
The present 40mm Tourbillon Souverain rendered in 18K pink gold may look at first glance like a coveted “Boutique Edition” – but it is far beyond a mere black dial. Aside from the fact that the boutique exclusive combination of black dial and pink gold case was not produced until 2010, if you tilt the watch a few degrees towards a light source, the wearer is instantly delighted by an array of iridescent colorations, revealing itself like a secret to be told by degrees. Instead of a mere black dial, the dial is in fact crafted from a thin slice of natural black mother-of-pearl.
Found on the interior of mollusk shells, it is prized for its beauty but venerated for its strength; its molecular structure resembles plate armor. Historically it has been used to adorn a variety of decorative objects that also endure significant use, such as weaponry, cutlery, and tablewear, amongst other things. Black mother-of-pearl, also known as Tahitian mother-of-pearl, is more costly and rare than its white counterpart, occurring once for every ten thousand natural white mother-of-pearl shells. The black mother-of-pearl almost disappears until the light hits the dial at just the right angle and it’s as if the sun has set and the sky is awash in oranges, pinks, blues, and purples.
The limited series made for the 50th anniversary of the historic Singaporean retailer Sincere Fine watches included, in 18K pink gold 5 Tourbillon Souverain (TN), 5 Octa Divine (D), 10 Chronomètre à Résonance (RN), and 10 Calendrier (Q). Very few have been offered publicly, in their original configuration and condition. One of only five examples, the TN is, consquently, the rarest and most sought-after.
Complete with its certificate of authenticity, as well as all of its accessories, the present Tourbillon Souverain made for Sincere Fine Watches is a rare opportunity to own one of F.P. Journe’s, rarest, most innovative, and visually captivating creations.

F.P. Journe
Swiss | 1999Founded 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.
