Francois-Paul Journe began his career as a clock restorer in France. Ultimately, the talented watchmaker created his own manufacture in 1999. His innovative approach to watchmaking and great sense of design inevitably made Francois-Paul Journe one of the most acclaimed independent watchmakers and the only one to win the celebrated Aiguille d’Or prize three times.
This particular model combines a power reserve of 5 days (120 hours) indicated at 9 o’clock with a digital date display slightly off-center near 12 o’clock. Given the asymmetrical layout with small subsidiary dial for hours and minutes at 3 o’clock, the salmon dial really strikes out and is in perfect harmony with the platinum case.
The present example has been retained in attractive condition and is offered complete with warranty card and presentation case.
