F.P. Journe

The F.P. Journe élégante collection was originally released as a ladies’ watch. However, its popularity subsequently inspired a men’s version measuring at a slightly larger 48x40mm. The élégante we are showing here features a titanium tonneau-shaped case set with diamonds. The bigger size might seem intimidating at first, but it is balanced by the slim profile of the case at just 7.95mm.

Particularly special is the Electro-Mechanical movement hiding inside the case, it is perhaps one of the most interesting and playful quartz movements imaginable. The aperture located at the 4 o'clock position is a mechanical motion detector. The caliber will stop operating if the watch is motionless for 35 minutes while still counting the time within its microprocessor. When the piece once again begins movement, the watch will automatically recalibrate itself by setting the hands to the current time. This impressive feature allowing the élégante to have a life span of 8 to 10 years in daily use, and up to 18 years in standby mode. In conjunction with the revolutionary Electro-Mechanical movement, the F.P. Journe élégante also boasts a full-luminescent white dial that enhances readability and legibility.

Found in "Excellent" condition, this example we have comes complete with Warranty Card, presentation box, and outer packaging.
