Amanico recounts an unusual week in Paris and Geneva where he encountered multiple F.P. Journe timepieces, including the Chronomètre Bleu, Chronomètre Souverain, and Centigraphe. He particularly emphasizes the striking impression left by the Chronomètre Bleu, noting its tantalum case, blue dial, and intricate movement.

In one week, I saw much more FPJ than in my whole collector's life. 

I saw a Chronomètre Bleu in Geneva, and 3 days after, another one in Paris! 











The one which made a big impression on me is the " Blue " because of the combination of the tantalum case and the blue dial, without forgetting the movement. 

I could also see a Double Resonance, which is truly exquisite, but I didn't have my camera... 

Best,

Nicolas

About the F.P. Journe Chronomètre à Résonance Ref. resonance

The Chronomètre à Résonance represents F.P. Journe's entry in the Souveraine collection, distinguished by its resonance complication. This reference utilizes the principle of resonance between two independent escapements to enhance chronometric precision.

The 40mm case is crafted in 18k rose gold with a fixed bezel and sapphire crystal. The silver dial houses the manual-winding caliber 1499 movement, offering a 42-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, and the watch is completed with a leather strap.

This reference appeals to collectors focused on haute horlogerie complications and independent watchmaking. The resonance mechanism positions this piece as a technical showcase within F.P. Journe's manual-winding offerings. Production began in 2000, establishing this as part of the brand's contemporary catalog for collectors seeking advanced chronometric functions.
