F.P. Journe

Anticipating the presentation of a new F.P.Journe grand complication in 2019, the emblematic Sonnerie Souveraine will no longer be in the catalogue as from December 31, 2018. This already rare and unique watch will thus become a sought-after collector's timepiece.

The grand and small strike wristwatch with minute repeater is the most complex horological achievement providing unfailing strikes 35,040 times a year. The F.P.Journe Sonnerie Souveraine is the only striking watch providing a total safety of use. The sense of hearing brings a new sensation and a new relationship with time allowing the watch to entertain a monologue with its owner. 

No serial number are engraved as each Sonnerie Souveraine is baptised with its owner’s name. When he gives his name to his watch, he also gives it a raison d’être, an identity and a personality forever.
