Chronomètre Bleu by F.P Journe part 2

The manual winding movement of the CHRONOMETRE BLEU is made in 18K rose gold, like that of all F.P.Journe creations. Signed with the label -Invenit et Fecit- (invented and made), each F.P.Journe exclusive movement guarantees a manufacture calibre, invented, constructed, and assembled entirely in our Geneva workshops. For the CHRONOMETRE BLEU, the exacting motto of F.P.Journe’s watchmakers holds true: “to each watchmaker his own watch”.

Through the transparent back, the balance and escapement appear to be mysteriously detached from the movement, beating with no apparent motive force. F.P.Journe has placed the connecting train under the dial, leaving only the centre wheel to highlight the isolation of the balance. The manually wound movement of the CHRONOMETRE BLEU oscillates at 21,600v/h. Twin barrels, in the classic configuration of precision watches, work in parallel to deliver stable power for much of its 56-hour full autonomy.

The F.P.Journe free-sprung chronometer balance with inertia adjustment on four opposing weights is dynamically adjusted to six positions, with an emphasis on constancy of rate.
