ONLY WATCH 2015 - F.P.Journe Tourbillon Souverain Bleu in tantalum
F.P.Journe participates for the first time to ONLY WATCH in order to support the scientific research to fight against Muscular Dystrophy (AMM). A unique watch is created especially for the occasion, the « Tourbillon Souverain Bleu ».
THE « TOURBILLON SOUVERAIN BLEU » F.P.JOURNE UNIQUE WATCH CREATED ESPECIALLY FOR ONLY WATCH
It is also the first time ever that a tourbillon is made with a case entirely in Tantalum. This metal has been named as such from the Greek’s mythology “Torment of Tantalus” as it is extremely hard to work with.
The very astonishing blue chrome dial reflects like a mirror and its color changes according to light. Its F.P.Journe movement in 18K rose Gold features the renowned remontoire (constant force device) and the dead beat second.
The ONLY WATCH charity auction will take place in Geneva on 7 November 2015.
