A unique watch equipped with the new Calibre 1522 in 18K rose gold.
A world premiere, a complete Tantalum case and bracelet dress this unique watch made especially for Only Watch, with an 18K rose gold movement.
The Chronomètre Furtif takes its name from the difficulty of reading the time if the watch is not facing you, as the blue enamel dial reveals the frosted numerals only in the reflection of light, whereas, the moon phase and power reserve indications are integrated into the movement and visible only on the back. It is therefore a watch whose indications can be enjoyed only by its owner.
HISTORY OF THE BRAND
François-Paul Journe has been “inventing” and “making” watches for over 40 years. He draws on his historical knowledge and expertise to face the most daring horological challenges, demonstrating a timeless consistency in innovation with a single goal: make each timepiece as accurate as possible.
Excellence and precision are the essence of an F.P.Journe watch, as well as authenticity and chronometry. All movements are produced in 18K rose Gold, a first in the watchmaking world and a unique feature of the brand. Signed with the label -Invenit et Fecit- (invented and made), each exclusive caliber is entirely invented, constructed, and assembled in the Geneva workshops.
With a limited production of less than 1,000 mechanical timepieces per year, the F.P.Journe Manufacture honours artisanal work. François-Paul Journe’s creations have spanned over decades showcasing an exceptional watch pedigree, now joined by the Chronomètre Furtif Bleu, a unique piece exclusively developed for the 10th Edition of Only Watch.
