The present reference is the F.P. Journe Chronograph FB, a 200-piece limited-edition watch celebrating the 20th anniversary of F.P. Journe’s Tokyo boutique and simultaneously marking the final limited series from the brand. Adding to its collectability, this is also the first F.P. Journe hand-wound chronograph without a split-seconds.<\/p>\n

As part of the Boutique Anniversaire Series, this watch comes with a combination of design characteristics : a polished grade 5 platinum case (measuring 40mm), a ruthenium-toned dial, gold crown and pushers in 18k 6N gold, and a burgundy alligator strap with a gold folding clasp.<\/p>\n

The ruthenium-toned dial is made of solid silver with a beautiful guilloch\u00e9 center piece in “Clou de Paris” fashion. Orange-colored Arabic numerals grace the dial, themselves surrounded by a white chapter ring with tachymeter scale. Two sub-dials behind sapphire crystals display a 60-minute counter and running seconds while a large date window discreetly sits at 6 o’clock.<\/p>\n

Powering this timepiece is the Calibre 1518.2, a movement made from solid rose gold, composed of 245 parts and offering an 80-hour power reserve. The flyback chronograph allows for instant resetting and restarting with a pusher at 4 o\u2019clock, while the tachymeter scale measures speed over a 1000-meter distance. The chronograph seconds hand completes a full rotation every two minutes instead of the classic one minute.<\/p>\n

Limited to 200 pieces, the Chronograph FB is a true collector\u2019s piece, and probably your only chance of getting a non-split seconds hand-wound chronograph from F.P. Journe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
