F.P. Journe Chronomètre À Résonance Black Label Ref. RQ
The F.P. Journe Chronomètre à Résonance Black Label is one of the most exclusive and technically significant timepieces produced by the manufacture, available only to existing F.P. Journe clients through the brand's boutiques and Espaces. This exceptional example is presented in a 40 mm platinum case measuring 10.8 mm thick and features the signature blackened gold dial with a whitened guilloché silver chapter ring. The distinctive double display provides independent 24 hour and 12 hour time indications, twin subsidiary seconds, and a power reserve indicator, while blued steel and rhodium plated steel hands complete the unmistakable aesthetic. Finished on a premium black alligator leather strap with a matching platinum pin buckle, the Chronomètre à Résonance Black Label perfectly combines exclusivity with timeless design. Powering the watch is the manually wound Calibre 1520, manufactured entirely from 18 karat rose gold and visible through the sapphire crystal case back. Comprising 378 components and 62 jewels, the movement features two independent gear trains, two balances, two remontoirs d'égalité, and F.P. Journe's celebrated resonance system, allowing both regulating organs to synchronise naturally for exceptional chronometric stability. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a total power reserve of approximately 42 hours, the movement is meticulously hand finished with Geneva waves, polished bevelled screw heads, chamfered bridges, and hand finished steel components. Combining groundbreaking horological innovation with the rarity of the Black Label collection, the 40 mm Chronomètre à Résonance Black Label is one of the most desirable independent watches available to collectors today.
