F.P.Journe Répétition Souveraine

An ultra slim and extremely light minute repeater. After the grande sonnerie, the minute repeater is the most complex and sophisticated of horological complications, one that demands the utmost, both technical and artistic, virtuosity from the watchmakers in charge of the assembling. An original construction was necessary to realize this ultra-slim movement of barely 4.50 mm thick. By looking at it, one would never guess the complicated mechanism hidden behind it. The simple aspect of its dial, identical to that of the Chronomètre Souverain, hardly lets foresee the discrete window placed between 9 and 10 o’clock.
