Product Description

The Chronomètre Optimum exemplifies the pinnacle of precision in wristwatches, showcasing F.P. Journe's groundbreaking advancements in chronometric research. At the heart of this timepiece is the innovative constant-force remontoire (patent EP1528443.A1), which meticulously balances the energy transmitted to the escapement to maintain unwavering consistency. By incorporating an additional gear as an autonomous system, powered by short bursts from the mainspring, the escapement ensures the balance's isochronism across various positions. Crafted from titanium for the first time, this remontoire excels in stability and efficiency like never before. Adding to its horological prowess, the EBHP High-Performance Bi-axial Escapement is another patented feature (patent EP11405210.3) that sets this timepiece apart. This dual-wheel direct impulse escapement operates sans lubrication, uniquely capable of self-starting and boasting an impressive 50-hour power reserve without any loss of amplitude. While previous dual-wheel escapements exist, the EBHP Escapement stands out for its exceptional efficiency, reminiscent of A-L. Breguet's pioneering "natural" escapement. In terms of aesthetics, the harmonious design of the hour, minute, and small second indicators, alongside the 70-hour power reserve, seamlessly integrates with the visible constant-force remontoire wheel on the dial. Turning the watch over, the 18ct rose Gold movement reveals a mesmerizing natural dead beat second, highlighted by a seconds circle intricately fastened onto the bridges, visible through the transparent sapphire case back.
