F.P. Journe

To many watch collectors that favors modern contemporary pieces, the F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain is a staple piece that would represent the best of contemporary independent watchmaking. Officially commenced in 1999 as subscriptions pieces, the Tourbillon Sourverain have not only helped the brand to kickstart its iconic Souverain collection but have also furthered the brand’s reputation of forming exception timepieces.

With inspiration drawn from an early Breguet clock, the Tourbillon Sourverain would feature a remontoire (Constant Force Device) that helps provide an equal amount of energy to the tourbillon, thus resulting in a greater accuracy and amplitude.

Being immensely popular over the past 20 years, the Tourbillon Souverain have experienced many different face lifts. From the changes in its dial design to adding Deadbeat Seconds to its movement for later generations. The present watch is part of a highly sought after limited edition series and is numbered 28 of only 99 pieces ever made. This limited edition series was finished with ruthenium both on the dial and movement and represents the final stages of the brass movement production of Journe watches.
