FP Journe Le Chronomètre Bleu
Written by James Matthews
The TIMER BLUE, latest achievement FPJourne proposes a new approach to high precision purified, properties with impeccable timing.
The TIMER BLUE innovates with a box of 39 mm. performed for the first time in tantalum, a rare metal tone anthracite slightly bluish. Tantalum is a metal fabulous and rarely used in watchmaking because it is hard and difficult to work with a very high melting temperature to 3,000 degrees and a density of 16.3. Tantalum is also valuable because it offers a perfect resistance to corrosion and wear.
In perfect harmony with the color of the box, the dial has been redesigned in a spirit trend in blue chrome. Needles FPJourne, coupled with large numbers of Arabs cream, mark the hours, while the second guilloche at 7.30 shows the effect of mirror dial.
The key lies in the heart of its exceptional movements, so FPJourne is the only Manufacturer in the world to achieve its movements exclusively in 18ct rose gold. Signed to their label and Invenit Fecit they are guarantors of a class manufacturing exclusive, invented, manufactured and assembled entirely in the workshops of the factory at the center of Geneva. For TIMER BLUE, Augustus maxim watchmakers FPJourne is persistently observed: each shows his watch.
Through the transparent background, the balance and escapement are mysteriously seconded the motion, beating the impellers apparent. FPJourne put the cog in the face, leaving only the center wheel to highlight the splendid isolation of the pendulum.
The mechanical movement with manual winding chronometer BLUE oscillates at a rate of 21,600 alternations per hour. Two barrels, according to the standard configuration of precision watches, operate in parallel to provide a stable force for the greater part of its total autonomy of 56 hours. The pendulum chronometer without racket FP Journe, variable inertia weight over four placed in opposition, undergoes dynamic setting in six different positions.
The TIMER BLUE will be available in November in Stores FPJourne in New York, Beijing, Paris, Tokyo, Geneva, Hong Kong and Boca Raton, and retailers FPJourne recognized around the world (full list at www. fpjourne.com).
