Chronomètre Bleu

The Chronomètre Bleu offers an uncluttered approach to high precision, with irreproachable chronometric proprerties. It is innovative, with a 39 mm case made of Tantalum, a rare dark grey metal with blue overtones, so named for the “Torment of Tantalus” in reference to the Greek mythology. Tantalum is a metal rarely used in watchmaking because it is very hard and difficult to fashion (its fusion temperature is 3016° and its density 16.65 g/cm3). It is also valued for its extremely high resistance to corrosion and wear, and its bio compatibility. The Chronomètre Bleu’s 18 K rose Gold mechanical movement with manual winding oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Twin barrels, in the classic configuration of precision watches, work in parallel to deliver stable power for most of the watch’s 56-hour power reserve.

Authenticity, Rareness and Talent are the values that symbolize the chronometric works of F.P.Journe. At the crossroad between Arts and Haute Horology, the independent F.P.Journe Manufacture is a world in itself, embodying excellence, know-how and innovation, in the respect of the haute horology tradition from which François-Paul Journe is the proud guardian. With a limited production of less than 900 mechanical timepieces per year, the sanctuary of the F.P.Journe Manufacture honours artisanal work. Signed with the label -Invenit et Fecit- (invented and made), each F.P.Journe exclusive movement guarantees an in-house calibre, entirely invented, constructed, and assembled in the Geneva workshops. To each watch its watchmaker that is the rule at F.P.Journe and that is why the production will always remain extremely limited. F.P.Journe produces most of its mechanical movements in 18K rose Gold, a first in the watch world and a unique feature of the brand. These exceptional watch creations have granted F.P.Journe the awarding of the most important international watch prizes throughout the world.
