F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain

About the Chronomètre Souverain

Inspired by 19th-century marine chronometers, the Chronomètre Souverain is a testament to precision timekeeping, crafted with a focus on performance and timeless elegance. The name 'Souverain' speaks to its mastery of accuracy, with the watch drawing on centuries of horological expertise. Its notable achievements include winning the Geneva Grand Prix d'Horlogerie in 2005 for Best Men’s Watch, a reflection of its exceptional technical prowess. A small seconds subdial at 7 o'clock and a 56-hour power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock provide a practical yet elegant layout. At its heart, the extra-thin 18K rose gold movement, featuring twin barrels, ensures a stable power supply and operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The twin-barrel system is designed to enhance energy delivery consistency, while the off-center seconds subdial adds a distinctive touch. The Chronomètre Souverain is renowned for its slim profile, making it an ideal timepiece for daily wear, combining functionality with refined aesthetics.
