Alkiro1 shares stunning macro shots of his new F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu, expressing his deep admiration for its aesthetic and mechanical beauty. This post captures the essence of a collector's joy, highlighting the watch's captivating dial and movement from both recto and verso.








The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain represents the foundational timepiece within the brand's Souveraine collection. This reference demonstrates the manufacture's approach to precision timekeeping through manual winding mechanics, positioned as a core offering in F.P. Journe's lineup.
The 40mm case is executed in 18k rose gold with a fixed bezel configuration. A sapphire crystal protects the silver dial, while the manual-winding caliber 1304 movement provides an 80-hour power reserve. The timepiece features 30-meter water resistance and is paired with a leather strap. Production commenced in 2000.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking F.P. Journe's mechanical execution in a fundamental three-hand configuration. The substantial power reserve and manual winding caliber position this model for enthusiasts who appreciate traditional watchmaking approaches within the Souveraine series framework.
I'm tempted again to order one. I'm not sure, whether I can resist forever
But I'm concerned that you may be stringing along too many high-maintenance "babes". That can get you in real trouble.
can show how beautiful, or how sloppy, the watch is finished and built. wonderful close ups. best, Horo
Lovely pictures of both front and back. Looking forward to hearing your ownership views as I've been eyeing the CB for quite some time.
You're so true. Sometimes, that's almost impossible to select one. And I have to be cautious. They're so jealous 😁 Best wishes Alkiro
Even if I'm not a big fan of FPJ himself, I've faith in him to offer to his clients high end timepieces and very well made. Best wishes Alkiro
