The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Furtif is a time-only sports watch with an integrated bracelet, a form that stands out in a collection otherwise known for classic watchmaking. It belongs to the line of Chronomètre watches by F.P. Journe, the independent brand founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe, whose movements are designed and built in-house. A blue version of the Furtif was later made for the Only Watch 2023 charity auction. The video in this group presents the Chronomètre Furtif. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
For the Only Watch 2023 charity auction, F.P. Journe created the Chronomètre Furtif Bleu, a blue variation of its Chronomètre Furtif. The video in this group presents this one-off piece. F.P. Journe has a long record with Only Watch: earlier contributions include the Tourbillon Souverain Bleu in 2015, a monopusher split-seconds chronograph in 2017, the Astronomic Blue in 2019 and the FFC Blue in 2021. The brand was founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
The F.P. Journe FFC Blue was made for the Only Watch 2021 charity auction in collaboration with the film director Francis Ford Coppola, as the video title Francis Ford Coppola and the F.P.Journe FFC Blue indicates. The watch is part of the long series of one-off pieces that F.P. Journe has produced for Only Watch, a series that also includes the Tourbillon Souverain Bleu in 2015 and a monopusher split-seconds chronograph in 2017. The brand was founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain is one of the core models of the brand, which was founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe and builds its movements in-house. The watch won the Men's Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève in 2005. The two videos in this group show how the watch is made: one presents the Chronomètre Souverain itself, and the other follows the crown assembly, a small but precise step in the finishing of the watch. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Optimum is a model of the Geneva brand founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe, whose movements are designed and built in-house. The brand announced the watch with a dedicated launch, and a special purple-dial version was made in 2017 for the charity Action Innocence. The video in this group, Chronomètre Optimum - Final Assembly, shows the last stage of putting the watch together. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
The Astronomic Blue was F.P. Journe's piece for the Only Watch 2019 charity auction. It is a highly complicated watch with a case made of tantalum and a blue dial. The video in this group, Astronomic Blue: Constructing the Tantalum case, shows how the case is made. Tantalum has appeared at F.P. Journe before, in the case of the Tourbillon Souverain Bleu made for Only Watch 2015. The brand was founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
For Only Watch 2017, F.P. Journe made a Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante, a monopusher split-seconds chronograph in a 44 mm case with a blue dial. Its movement was new and was not used in other F.P. Journe watches. The video in this group shows the creation of the piece for the charity auction. F.P. Journe was founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe and has contributed one-off watches to several Only Watch editions. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
The F.P. Journe Chronomètre à Résonance is built on the resonance chronometer system, which François-Paul Journe invented. The model won the Complicated Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève in 2010. The first video in this group is a Manufacture Exhibition marking 20 years of Résonance, and the second introduces the new version of the Chronomètre à Résonance. Together they show how the idea has developed since the brand was founded in 1999, with all movements designed and built in-house. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
The F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain is the brand's tourbillon model. The current generation features dead beat seconds, and the Tourbillon Souverain à seconde morte received the Aiguille d'Or at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève in 2004. A Tourbillon Souverain Bleu with a tantalum case was also made for Only Watch 2015. The video in this group, Tourbillon Souverain Power Reserve Assembly, shows the assembly of the power reserve part of the watch. F.P. Journe was founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Holland & Holland is the result of a partnership between F.P. Journe and Holland & Holland, in which the watch dials are made from antique Holland & Holland rifle steel. The video in this group focuses on the Damascus steel used for the watch. F.P. Journe was founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe, and the Chronomètre line sits at the heart of its range, with movements designed and built in-house. The videos below come from the official F.P. Journe channel.
