F. P. Journe Limited Series Tourbillon Souverain

Caliber:

Calibre 1403

Description:

F. P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain is a watch of a Limited Series and the new generation of this model. It is the only wristwatch tourbillon with a remontoir d'égalité and dead seconds. The remontoir d'égalité was designed to smooth out fluctuations in the power transmission to the escapement due to inefficiencies in the gear train. This is still one of the most accurate watches on the market. The mechanism of dead seconds makes the second hand advancing, then stopping dead for one second before advancing again. This is one of the most demanding horological complications and, for long, it has required another mechanism since the rapidly oscillating balance hasn’t been able to directly drive the seconds hand. The watch is crafted in platinum and has 40 millimeters in diameter. The caseback is fitted with sapphire crystal to allow for the view on the inner mechanism. Distributed on the dial, the watch features a number of indications: power reserve at 12 o’clock, small seconds at 6 o’clock and regulator at 3 o’clock. Tourbillon cage dominates the right portion of the face. Glass: saphire; 218 components;

Features:

winding automatic; 26 jewels; power reserve indicator; power reserve: 42h

Case material:

Platinum; Strap: Black Leather

F.P. Journe introduces an exclusive new version of its Tourbillon Souverain with Régence Circulaire hand-engraved dial. The latest rendition of the flagship model was inspired by geometric motifs of the Regency period. François-Paul Journe, the founder of the high-end watch manufacture F.P.

The Régence Circulaire motif, dominating the dial, was first outlined on the raw white gold plate, so that the artis...

The new creation remains perfectly legible, featuring an elegant, reduced, uncluttered profile. Previously, the Octa Divine was the only model of the Octa range available in 36 and 40 mm versions. The most recognizable element of the Octa Divine is its sub-seconds in the lower right-hand section, and the hours and minutes circles screwed to the dial. All of its emblematic elem...
