SIGNED F.P. JOURNE, LINESPORT CHRONOGRAPHE RATTRAPANTE MODEL, NO. 116-CM, CIRCA 2021

The F.P. Journe 'Chronographe Monopoussior' was inspired by the timepiece made by F.P. Journe for Only Watch 2017 but with an evolved new movement caliber. The model also features a very large date function, all this is impressively housed in a case with a total height of only 6.8 mm. The ceramic tachymeter bezel insert with new typographic numerals pay homage to the 2017 only watch timepiece.

The LineSport Chronographe Monopoussoir was available in four versions, two in grade 5 titanium with aluminium alloy movements, one in 18k pink gold with 18k pink gold movement (as the present timepiece) and one in platinum with 18k pink gold movement. Made entirely in-house, the superb finishing of the calibre 1518 movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire back. The movement, with 80-hour power reserve, is called a ‘single-button split-seconds chronograph’ movement or ‘monopoussoir’ because the start, stop and reset are all controlled by the single pusher at two o’clock, while the pusher at four controls the split-seconds. In the F.P. Journe manufacture, a single watchmaker is responsible for the complete making and assembly of each individual watch, unique in the watchmaking industry.
