In 2008, François-Paul Journe won the Golden Hand Award of the Geneva watchmaking Grand Prix with his Centigraph. This was the third time Journe, had taken the top prize in Geneva's watch Olympics since he opened his own shop, F.P. Journe, in 2000.

Today, the Centigraph has been described as a unique creation. Indeed, the mechanical movement indicates elapsed time from a 100^th of second to 10 minute, visible on three dials. A patent was granted to protect its ingenious mechanism which effectively isolates the chronograph from the timekeeping function meaning the balance is unaffected when the chronograph is running.
