FP Journe hardly ever introduces new timepieces. As an alternative, the Genevan watchmaker focuses on advertising and marketing present fashions.
Journe’s devoted fanatics will then be happy to listen to that the tantalum one-of-a-kind timepiece produced for the final Solely Watch public sale, will now be out there as an everyday manufacturing mannequin in an analogous kind.
The Chronomètre Furtif options the identical 42 mm x 9.5 mm case and 18K pink gold motion with bottom moonphase and energy reserve indications, now in an all-new matte black tungsten carbine case (an alloy of tungsten and carbon), and matching built-in bracelet.
Contemplating the “furtif” is translated from French to English as “stealth” — the tone-on-tone darkish grey fired enamel dial, with lased-engraved markings, is becoming. The stealthy theme continues when you think about that the time is seen nearly solely to the wearer, however when considered from different angles the visibility is cloaked, so to talk.
Offering a stark distinction to the in any other case all-black timepiece, the bezel, crown, caseback, and case bumper are in shiny silver tantalum.
One factor that’s unchanged from Solely Watch timepiece, is the unimaginable manually wound FP Journe caliber 1522 that has an 18K pink gold mainplate and bridges, and a motion aspect energy reserve and moonphase indications.
The Chronomètre Furtif (Ref. CF) gives hours, minutes, seconds, energy reserve, and moon part and has a most energy reserve of 56 hours. This watch is just not a restricted version, though all Journe watches can be found solely in restricted portions. The retail worth is CHF 85,000 or about $95,000.
