Lot Essay

The Chronometre Bleu, often simply shortened to “CB” by Journe aficionados, has become a cult classic in modern independent watchmaking due to its combination of affordable price, unusual case material and highly distinctive dial.

Tantalum is a rare metal whose color is unlike any other. It is little used in horology because it is extremely difficult to work with. Requiring very high temperatures imposed upon it in order for it to be molded and used to ones specifications, once it has been carefully adapted it is extremely durable and ultra resistant to corrosion. The gun metal color of this watch alongside the highly reflective bright blue dial makes for a very attractive combination.
