In the world of watch collecting, even the smallest detail can make a big difference, especially the intricate beauty of the dial. Recognizing this, François-Paul Journe purchased shares of a dial manufacturing company in 2001, allowing him to create dials with unique materials and stand out from competitors.
The limited edition Chronomètre Holland & Holland watch is an exceptional piece, with a dial made from Damascus steel sourced from antique gun barrels, provided by the British gunmaker Holland & Holland. The unique steel pattern of each dial, created from two 100-year-old gun barrels, is sure to impress watch enthusiasts.
