F.P. JOURNE
CHRONOMÈTRE BLEU FURTIF
A unique watch equipped with the new Calibre 1522 in 18K rose gold.
Description
A world premiere, a complete Tantalum case and bracelet dress this unique watch made especially for Only Watch, with an 18K rose gold movement.
The Chronomètre Furtif takes its name from the difficulty of reading the time if the watch is not facing you, as the blue enamel dial reveals the frosted numerals only in the reflection of light, whereas, the moon phase and power reserve indications are integrated into the movement and visible only on the back. It is therefore a watch whose indications can be enjoyed only by its owner.
