Journe Tourbillon Souverain is a technically sophisticated wristwatch that exemplifies the independent brand’s dedication to precision and traditional watchmaking Introduced in 1999 and later refined in 2003, this model represents the second-generation Tourbillon Souverain, also known as the “Tourbillon Nouveau” Housed in a 40 mm platinum case with a polished finish, the watch maintains a balanced presence on the wrist Its dial, made from white gold and guilloché silver, features a distinctive off-center time display framed in patented steel, complemented by a 42-hour power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock and a deadbeat seconds complication at 6 o’clock At the heart of the watch is the manually wound Caliber 1403, crafted entirely from 18k rose gold It incorporates a "remontoir d’égalité" for consistent energy delivery and a deadbeat seconds mechanism - both technical feats aimed at improving chronometric performance The movement also includes a stop-seconds feature, a monometallic balance, and fine decorative finishing such as Côtes de Genève A black alligator strap with a platinum buckle completes the piece, which is further defined by the inscription “Invenit et Fecit,” signalling that the watch was both invented and made by François-Paul Journe The Tourbillon Souverain remains a hallmark of mechanical ingenuity and traditional horology
