Product Description

The Chronomètre Optimum embodies the epitome of precision in watchmaking, showcasing F.P.Journe's groundbreaking advancements in chronometric research. A key innovation is the constant-force remontoire (patent EP1528443.A1), which meticulously balances the driving force on the escapement to maintain a consistent energy flow. Utilizing a titanium construction for the first time, this remontoire includes an additional gear system that ensures the balance remains isochronous across various positions, enhancing overall efficiency. Another remarkable feature is the EBHP High-Performance Bi-axial Escapement, a patented technology (patent EP11405210.3) that operates without the need for lubrication. This unique two-wheel direct impulse escapement not only starts independently but also boasts an impressive power reserve of 50 hours without any loss of amplitude. While previous dual-wheel escapements exist, this design stands out for its superior performance, reminiscent of the renowned "natural" escapement pioneered by A-L. Breguet. The aesthetic appeal of the watch is equally captivating, with the hour, minute, and small seconds displays elegantly complementing the 70-hour power reserve indicator. A striking visual element is the visible constant-force remontoir wheel on the dial, harmonizing with the overall design. Turning the watch over reveals the intricacies of the 18ct rose gold movement through the sapphire case back, showcasing a mesmerizing natural dead beat second mechanism highlighted by a seconds circle intricately integrated into the movement's bridges.
