F.P. Journe's Chronometre Bleu is the definition of contemporary elegance. Immediately grasping one's attention is its spectacular blue dial, fitted with ivory-coloured steel hands and white Arabic numerals, presenting itself in an enigmatic contrast that proves timeless for many years to come. The present watch is cased in tantalum, a blue-grey metal rarely used in watchmaking for its difficulty to be fashioned, however deems superior resistance to corrosion and wear once the watchmaker overcomes the challenges in mastering the use of this material. An honest display of F.P. Journe's constant pursuit for excellence, the Chronometre Bleu is a special timepiece that truly speaks for itself.
