Invenit et Fecit \u2013 Invented and Made
\nFran\u00e7ois-Paul Journe is one of the most respected watchmakers of our time. He is considered to be a link between the 18th century watchmakers and the modern era \u2013 a reference he has earned through his work which is a combination of old school horology inventiveness and modern technology, presented as timepieces that are beautifully hand-finished.<\/p>\n

In 1983, he completed his first tourbillon pocket watch and in 1991, launched the prototype of his first wristwatch \u201cTourbillon Souverain\u201d, incorporating a remontoire within a wristwatch for the very first time. The plate, the bridges, as well as the gear-trains were crafted entirely in 18K Gold, which has since become a trademark character of most FP Journe watches.<\/p>\n

The watch officially debuted in 1999, along with 2 more timepieces, namely Chronom\u00e8tre \u00e0 R\u00e9sonance and Octa Reserve de Marche. The launches came as an announcement that FP Journe (the brand) has arrived. \u2018Montres Journe SA\u2019 was now a registered brand.<\/p>\n

Since then, FP Journe has surprised the watch community with several inventions and unconventional timepieces, making him the only three-time winner of the grand title of Aiguille d\u2019Or at GPHG.<\/p>\n

He has also won several other awards at this prestigious annual event, including the prize for the Best Men\u2019s Watch for his Chronom\u00e8tre Souverain launched in 2005.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The present watch is the F.P. Journe Chronom\u00e8tre Souverain Boutique Edition<\/strong> launched in 2020, to celebrate the opening of the brand\u2019s first Dubai boutique, and 10th in the world.<\/p>\n

Only 99 pieces of this stunning timepiece were made and were instantly sold out. The watch itself is the iconic Chronom\u00e8tre Souverain in a 40mm platinum case, measuring a mere 8.6mm in thickness. What\u2019s distinctive though, is the unusual green colored dial, and the matching green leather strap – a color that is symbolic in the Middle East of chance, fortune and fertility.<\/p>\n

It is a bold, bright and an unmissable timepiece which has already gained the \u2018extremely desired\u2019 status and in the same league as the iconic and rare CS Bleu Byblos.<\/p>\n

Seen through the sapphire caseback is the magnificent Calibre 1304, An extra flat movement measuring just 3.75mm thick, with two barrels delivering 56-hrs of chronometric power reserve.<\/p>\n

The baseplate and bridges are made of 18K rosegold and finished impeccably with C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve on the bridges with mirrored anglage, polished screw heads, chamfered slots and a baseplate with part circular graining and barleycorn guilloch\u00e9.<\/p>\n

This masterpiece comes on a hand-stitched soft green leather strap, its original limited edition warranty certificate and box.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
