The present watch is the Chronom\u00e8tre Souverain, in which Fran\u00e7ois\u2011Paul Journe\u2019s twin signatures\u2014chronometry and a slim profile\u2014are expressed.<\/p>\n

A heavenly match of form and function is presented by a 38 mm Platinum case measuring just 8.6 mm thick. Short, tapered lugs are shaped to flow slightly downward, so enhanced slimness and wearer comfort are achieved. On the white dial, hours and minutes are displayed, with an off\u2011center small\u2011seconds register and an unconventional \u201creverse\u201d power\u2011reserve indicator. Time elapsed since the last full wind is indicated; for example, when the hand points to 0, a full wind is signified and up to 56 hours of autonomy may be expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cChronometer\u201d\u2011grade performance is delivered by the F.P. Journe Calibre 1304, whose designation is derived from the French ligne size (\u201c13\u201d) and the year development began (\u201c04\u201d). Through the sapphire case back, a visual of equal beauty to the dial side is afforded: a hand\u2011wound movement is revealed, with plate and bridges fashioned in 18K gold. Finishes such as C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve and perlage are applied; screw heads are black\u2011polished, and edges are finely chamfered.<\/p>\n
