F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain ref. TN “Platinum, Grey Dial, 40mm”

The Tourbillon Souverain with remontoire and dead beat seconds is endowed with the characteristics and technical demands inherent to creations by F.P. Journe – Invenit et Fecit -. Its mechanism uses the remontoire, or constant force device, which the brand values for its timekeeping performances, and has now been enriched with an independent ‘dead beat seconds’ system. This complication, representing a unique feature on a contemporary wristwatch, provides for a more accurate read of precise time. The french term for “independent seconds”, called “seconde morte” or “dead beat seconds”, stems from the fact that the hand remains motionless (“dead”) for as long as the second has not actually elapsed. The hand thus indicates the second only after it has actually past.

This model has been in production between 2003 and 2018.

The condition of the watch is well preserved without any major dings or dents or scratches.

The dial is damage and patina-free.

The watch comes with its original boxes only. A COA can be ordered in your name once new ownership is established.
