One of the world’s most widely recognized independent watch makers for the past 21 years, François-Paul Journe has been using his historical knowledge and expertise to produce collections of wristwatches that symbolize excellence, precision, authenticity and chronometry. The slim and elegant Répétition Minutes Souveraine was first introduced to the market in 2008. Discreet but ingenious, the movement of the watch is fitted with the brand’s signature flat hammers and gong which allows it to be mounted on the main plate of the movement. The pioneering arrangement of the movement allows F.P. Journe to maximize the usage rate of the movement and in retrospect reduces the total thickness of the watch to 8.8 mm including the case. Originally crowned the world’s slimmest repeating wristwatch in 2008, the Répétition Minutes Souveraine is a watch that would leave an imprint in the history of horological science.
