Journe’s Chronomètre Bleu has become one of the most recognizable and sought-after timepieces in modern watchmaking. Combining innovative materials with exceptional chronometric performance, it offers a refined yet bold approach to precision. - Introduced in 2009 as an entry-level model within his otherwise highly complicated collection, François-Paul Journe once again defied convention. The 39mm case is crafted from tantalum, a rare and challenging metal named after the “Torment of Tantalus” in Greek mythology. Known for its dark grey color with blue overtones, tantalum is rarely used in watchmaking due to its extreme hardness. However, it is prized for its resistance to corrosion and wear. - The movement is Journe’s caliber 1304 executed in pink gold and displays an equally high standard of execution and finish witnessed on all F.P. Journe wristwatches. - The chrome blue dial, perfectly complementing the tantalum case, features cream-colored hands and bold Arabic numerals, blending modern aesthetics with timeless elegance. The present example offers a rare opportunity to acquire this iconic timepiece—a true masterpiece of independent watchmaking
