- François-Paul Journe is undoubtedly one of the industry's finest living watchmakers. Drawing inspiration from early Breguet timepieces, he continuously pushes the boundaries of innovation with his jaw-dropping creations.
- The Chronomètre Souverain, designed to prioritize chronometric precision, brings watchmaking back to its roots. This results in a simple yet elegant timepiece featuring only the hour and minute hands, small seconds, and a power reserve indication.
- The impeccable design showcases a perfect balance of every component, with the power reserve indication positioned at an uncommon and technically challenging 3 o'clock position, close to the winding stem. Powered by the in-house, manually wound caliber 1304, the movement is made of 18K pink gold and features a central twin barrel for 56 hours of power reserve.
- Housed in the sportier and highly coveted 40mm case that was discontinued in 2005, the present Chronomètre Souverain in pink gold is exceptionally well-preserved, showing minimal signs of wear only. Along with all the accompanying accessories, it holds significant collectible value and is ideal for collectors seeking a timeless and understated piece.
