F.P. Journe Octa Lune (Reference OL). A rose gold automatic wristwatch with date, power reserve, and moon phase. 2020

The <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/f-p-journe/octa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Octa</a>, a collection of mechanical wristwatch chronometers with automatic winding and a record breaking 120-hour power reserve was launched in 2001. Joining the collection in 2011 is the Octa UTC, powered by the magnificent 1300.3 calibre movement. On top of this is the innovative patented system that uses Universal Time Coordinated, the modern standard of determining time zones in full hours based on international atomic time. This system mechanically indicates the different time zones and seasonal time differences with reference to the Earth’s rotation, making it less variable than the previously utilized GMT. Seen on the salmon-colored dial are the indications for the impressively long power reserve as well as the date. An off-centered guilloché subdial illustrates local time via blued steel hands, while a gilt steel hand indicates home time in 24-hour format. Also seen on the dial is a laser engraved and hand painted world map on a sapphire disc that illustrates the earth’s 24 time zones, a bright and brilliant feature for <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/f-p-journe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">F.P. Journe</a>.

Introduced in 2013, the <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/f-p-journe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">F.P. Journe</a> Quantieme Perpetuel instantly became one of the most anticipated collections of the brand. The model features an innovative instantaneous jump mechanism and big window display, giving the user great legibility. The leap year counter is located in the centre of the dial, resulting in a dial that displays a lot of information but at the same time not over-crowding the dial.

One of the first watchmakers to incorporate the resonance effect onto a wristwatch, <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/f-p-journe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">F.P. Journe</a>'s <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/f-p-journe/chronometre-a-resonance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Resonance</a> has gained an reputation for its eccentric design and remarkable complication.

F.P. Journe Chronomètre à Résonance, A platinum mechanical dual time wristwatch with power reserve, Circa 2008

The <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/f-p-journe/elegante" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elegante</a> was first introduced in 2014 as a sporty <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/womens-watches" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lady’s watch</a> after eight years of research. It was then made available as a men’s version in 2016. The concept of the present electro-mechanical watch features a mechanical motion detector visible on the dial at 4:30, when the watch is motionless, it will revert into stand by mode after 35 minutes to save its energy and the hands will stop turning. During the standby mode, the microprocessor continues to keep time, while the mechanical parts such as gears, rotors and hands will stop moving. When the watch is moved again, the hands sets themselves automatically to the current time.

<a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/f-p-journe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">F.P. Journe</a>'s Chronographe Rattrapante from the <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/f-p-journe/linesport" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LineSport</a> collection is nothing short of mesmerizing. The split-seconds chronograph entered the LineSport family in 2018 and appeared for the first time in this collection with precious metal-cases. Having listened closely to collector's criticism and preferences, F.P. Journe got rid of the rubber bumpers in between bracelet links like the previous model and increased the case size to 44mm. In the hierarchy of chronographs, the rattrapante (split-seconds) is king. Designed to time events that start but do not end together, the beauty of a rattrapante is having two chronographs in one watch.

F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu was the first watch in the F.P. Journe collection to be crafted in a tantalum case.

The watch is encased with a twin barrel movement made from 18ct gold, a unique brand signature of F.P. Journe. <ul><li>Please note the image is a representative image of this item and not a photograph of the exact item available for purchase.
