In 2008, François-Paul Journe won the Golden Hand Award of the Geneva watchmaking Grand Prix with his Centigraphe. This was the third time Journe had taken the top prize in Geneva's watch Olympics since he opened his own shop, F.P. Journe, in 2000. The Centigraphe's ingenious movement indicates the elapsed time from 100th of a second to 10 minutes, visible across three attractive, over-sized subsidiary dials. The patented movement effectively isolates the chronograph from the timekeeping function, ensuring that the balance is unaffected when the chronograph is in operation.
