Catalogue Note
Accompanied by a F.P. Journe certificate, instruction manual, extra strap and presentation box. F.P. Journe celebrated the 10th anniversary of the famous Chronomètre à Résonance collection in 2010 by creating this stunning new edition, featuring a 24-hour indication at 9 o'clock position to distinguish between day and night time. Working in conjunction with one another, the watch possesses two entirely independent movements designed to produce a high degree of precision by compensation for each other's minor errors, featuring the natural phenomenon of resonance.
Within F.P. Journe‘s limited annual production of about 900 watches, it is very hard to think of a way that F.P. Journe timepieces could become even more exclusive. However, F.P. Journe created the rarefied "Black Label" collection, in which the collection is available only to current owners of an F.P. Journe wristwatch. Each boutique only gets 12 Black Label watches per year, with a maximum of two examples per model. Completing the rarity and exclusivity of the watches, the cases of the Black Label collection are exclusively made in platinum and paired with an exotic dial in blackened gold.
