This message has been edited by quattro on 2025-04-06 18:02:03 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.
but the more I explore the world of horology, the more I cross his name and creations... Thanks for sharing (but didn't you forget the last pic, as I see no pocket watch? If yes, add it as a comment and I'll place it into the post. Best, Emmanuel
I placed the pocket watch at the end and fixed the orientation of two photos.
I think there's some sort of quirk in the software here. I know... It was the enamel tall clock that was showing flipped horizontally, although in my phone it was vertical, so I'm not sure why it got flipped here and all the other images did not get turned. But thank you kindly for your time and fixing it for me. Milos
What is the time limit on editing a post. I've noticed that the *edit* option appears at the beginning but then it disappears. Thank you.
you can edit your post. When you add a photo to your post, it is sometimes tilted on the import interface and you have the possibility to rotate it before uploading (just press the three bars button on the upper left corner and choose the correct rotation): cf. screenshots below. Hope this will be helpful. Best, Emmanuel
