{"product_id":"fp-journe-chronometre-bleu-tantalum-2018","title":"F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu Tantalum 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is no other watch quite like the Chronomètre Bleu, and most of the reason is the case. Tantalum is dense, blue-grey, and close to impossible to machine — François-Paul Journe chose it for a watch that was never intended to be shouted about, and the result is a piece that reads as understated from across a room and as something else entirely in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dial is chrome blue, mirror-finished, with the small seconds at seven. This is the simplest watch Journe makes, and deliberately so. Thirty-nine millimetres, on a blue alligator strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe movement is calibre 1304, self-winding, with a 56-hour power reserve — and like every F.P. Journe calibre it is made in solid 18-carat rose gold rather than brass. That decision costs a great deal and buys nothing measurable in performance; Journe does it anyway, and it is the single detail that tells you most about the maison.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMint condition, 2018. Supplied with the watch and its certificate; the box is following and will be included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJourne changes hands quietly in Australia, and where discretion matters the transaction stays between us. Every watch is authenticated by an independent watchmaker, with particular attention to the movement's construction, before any sale completes. Appointments at our Collins Street boutique.
