FP Journe Watches

Description

Owning an FP Journe wristwatch is considered a rarity as the watchmaker produces only a limited quantity of timepieces each year, and thus, known only to the elite watch connoisseurs. The reason for the limited supply is that Journe places so much value on the quality and creativity of each model he creates. In 2004, FP Journe's Tourbillon Souverain was awarded the ?Aiguille d?Or?, the highest prize awarded in the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix. The same model again won the Grand Prix - Men's Model Watch of the Year 2004 in Japan a few months later.

Journe launched in 2000 the tourbillon à remontoir d'égalité, the first wristwatch to use a constant force remontoir device. This is the specific timepiece featured here with its 40mm platinum case and Ruthenium dial with an exposed tourbillon. Ruthenium is a rare transition metal under the Platinum metal group. While less than 2000 people in the world own an FP Journe watch, it is expected to increase in number as more people are expected to recognize the masterpiece creations of Journe which is now revered only by horological enthusiasts who understand the complexities and care that is placed on every timepiece. Wouldn't you want to be one of the elite few who owns an FP Journe timepiece? This one is especially worth every penny and is expected to increase in value once the world recognizes fully the genius of Francois Paul Journe.
