10 Year Anniversary Tourbillon

Whether it’s the first or fourth time and no matter how brief, it’s always overwhelming to meet the singular watchmaker François-Paul Journe. We have nothing but admiration for this understated figure with thirty years of experience, several awards and world recognition. But what this enthusiast radiates above all is a unique watchmaking philosophy which goes into each piece that comes out of his Geneva workshops. 2014 pays tribute to this philosophy with the launch of the 10 Year Anniversary Tourbillon. François-Paul Journe’s watchmaking art is the beating heart of the 40mm platinum case: a rose gold manual wind tourbillon chronometer movement made in Geneva which brings to life the hours, minutes, seconds and 56-hour power reserve. The Roman and Arabic numerals with a white minute track on a dark silver display are showcased by a polished steel rim all on a silver grained dial. Price: 129’600CHF
