Exquisite F.P. Journe Chronometre Souverain CS, a masterpiece of independent watchmaking that blends timeless design with technical brilliance. Housed in a warm 18k rose gold case, this example is paired beautifully with a striking whitened silver dial, delicately adorned with Journe’s signature off-center subdials and elegant Arabic numerals. The contrast is elevated further by a rich blue strap, offering a refined yet contemporary touch to the overall aesthetic. At its heart beats the in-house calibre 1304, crafted entirely in solid 18k rose gold, a manual-wind movement renowned for its twin barrels in parallel that deliver remarkable stability and precision. With a slim 40mm profile, superb finishing, and understated elegance, the Chronometre Souverain embodies François-Paul Journe’s philosophy of “Invenit et Fecit” — invented and made by him. A true collector’s piece, this watch represents independent haute horology at its finest.
