Journe Automatique Lune Havana PT 42mm","description":"\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eRegarded as one of the hottest horological prospects in the world right now, it is immensely impressive that F.P. Journe has only been around for the length of time that it has. Founded in 1999, F.P. Journe burst onto the watchmaking scene with a 20-piece limited run of Tourbillon Souverain Souscription watches that cash-strapped François Paul used to finance his brand, just like Abraham Louis Breguet did over 200 years ago. Fast forward two decades, and F.P. Journe has evolved into an independent horological powerhouse, with ever-growing waiting lists and increasingly impressive auction results. While it took years for the brand to gain recognition beyond hardcore collectors, it is now widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential independent watchmaking houses to have emerged in recent history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eHere, I have a highly desirable F.P Journe Automatique Octa Lune fitted with a ‘Havana’ dial in a platinum 950 case, named as such because of the stunning brown dial it is fitted with. Offered by F.P. Journe in several other precious metal cases, it can be said, that without a doubt, the ones fitted with Havana dials are some of the most attractive variants and as such, some of the most in-demand as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWhile it might initially appear to be just another brown dial, it’s important to remember that F.P. Journe is an independent brand that loves pushing technical boundaries. The Havana dial is crafted by combining ruthenium and gold, creating a rich, reflective brown tone with remarkable color depth. This technique results in a dial that shifts from dark to light brown—almost tropical-brown \/ milk chocolate in hue—depending on the lighting conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eEncircling the dial at the periphery is a contrasting\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eChermin de Fer\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eminute track in white, complementing the highly sober Arabic numerals used as hour markers.

The dial also features F.P. Journe’s signature asymmetrical layout, with a power reserve indicator at 9:00, a moon phase at 7:00, a running-seconds sub-dial at 4:30, and a large off-centered date window aperture at 11:30. All of these elements are tastefully arranged in a way that showcases F.P. Journe’s exceptional mastery of asymmetry and negative space, resulting in a dial design that is both visually balanced and elegant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBeyond the dial, encased within its sleek platinum 950 case and visible through the sapphire caseback lies the impressive in-house, self-winding Cal. 1300.3. Like all F.P. Journe watches produced since 2004, this movement is crafted entirely from 18-carat solid rose gold. True to F.P. Journe’s high standards, the Cal. 1300.3 features a massive 120-hour power reserve on a full wind and is also exquisitely decorated, showcasing a partially circular-grained baseplate,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eperlage\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eon the main plate,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eCôtes de Genève\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon the bridges, and meticulous hand-finishing throughout, including hand-polished chamfers and screw-heads.

While it may be widely regarded as one of F.P. Journe's more understated designs compared to some of his earlier works, its execution is quintessentially Journe—elegant, refined with very clean lines and curves.

Journe has only been around for such a relatively short time. Founded in 1999, F.P. Journe made a splash in the watchmaking world with a limited run of 20 Tourbillon Souverain Souscription watches, which the financially strapped François Paul used to fund his brand, much like Abraham Louis Breguet did over 200 years ago.

Journe Elegante was frequently overlooked as a timepiece worth considering due to its quartz movement. However, true to F.P. Journe’s reputation, this quartz movement is far from ordinary. With the increasing appreciation for F.P. Journe watches in general, collectors have finally started to acknowledge the Elegante's true value and impressive technical engineering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eVisually, our example here is housed within a sleek tonneau-style case measuring 48mm x 40mm. In contrast to its slightly smaller counterpart, i.e. the Elegante 40, the full-sized Elegante 48 you see here is designed for those who prefer a larger case option. It also features a stunning translucent dial with a luminescent center that illuminates entirely for excellent legibility under low light conditions, which makes it astonishingly user-friendly and easily recognizable. If you look closer, you’ll notice an open aperture at 4:30 on the dial, which reveals a mechanical motion detector that playfully hints at the remarkable marvel housed within.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePowering the Elegante from within is one of the most impressive quartz movements available today: F.P. Journe’s in-house Cal. 1210. This electromechanical movement underwent 8 years of rigorous research and development, making it one of the most energy-efficient movements on the market. When you turn the watch over on its caseback, you’ll be greeted by a stunning 4N gold movement, featuring an intricately engraved and decorated battery bridge, complemented by exquisite \u003ci\u003eCôtes de Genève\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efinishing throughout.

Additionally, the hour, minute, and seconds hands each have their dedicated motors, minimizing the need for lubricants that could dry up and potentially impact its efficiency later in the movement’s lifespan. This extraordinary design is a testament to F.P. Journe's watchmaking philosophy, with the Elegante’s patented movement showcasing breathtaking engineering ingenuity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eGiven everything I’ve mentioned above, the F.P.
