Souveraine Chronomètre à Résonance 40 Platinum / Grey

The Souveraine collection contains F.P. Journe's hand-wound masterworks — the watches that established his reputation as one of the most important independent watchmakers of his generation. Beginning with the Tourbillon Souverain in 1999 and expanding to include the Chronomètre à Résonance, Chronomètre Souverain, and Sonnerie Souveraine, each piece in the collection demonstrates a specific horological principle executed at the highest level. The Résonance, which uses two balances beating in acoustic sympathy to improve timekeeping accuracy, is widely regarded as one of the most important mechanical innovations of the modern era. Every Souveraine movement is crafted in rose gold — a Journe signature that is both aesthetic choice and technical statement.

The year 2010 commemorated the 10 year Anniversary of the renowned Chronomètre à Resonance with a new edition now featuring a 24 hour indicator in place of the previous left 'regular' dial. An emblematic timepiece that will significantly mark the research on precision made by master watchmaker François-Paul Journe. This unique watch represents one of the wildest challenges ever in the field of the mechanical watch! Utilising the natural resonance phenomenon, this exceptional mechanism revolutionized the classic standards of watch-making by offering an unequalled precision for a wristwatch.
