F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu - Ref. CB

The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu is one of the most iconic and sought after creations in modern independent watchmaking, celebrated for its understated design and exceptional mechanical performance. Crafted from tantalum, a rare metal renowned for its durability, corrosion resistance, and distinctive blue grey hue, the 39 millimetre case is paired with the signature chrome blue dial that shifts dramatically in different lighting conditions. The dial features elegant ivory coloured steel hands, oversized Arabic numerals, and a subsidiary seconds display at the seven thirty position, creating a clean and highly legible layout. Powered by the manually wound Calibre 1304, the movement is manufactured entirely in eighteen karat rose gold and incorporates twin mainspring barrels that deliver a stable power reserve of approximately fifty six hours while beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour.

Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the beautifully hand finished movement showcases F.P. Journe's uncompromising attention to detail with polished screw heads, chamfered bridges, barleycorn guilloché decoration, and exquisite finishing throughout. Measuring just 8.3 millimetres thick, the Chronomètre Bleu offers exceptional comfort on the wrist and is presented on a premium leather strap with a matching tantalum pin buckle. Revered by collectors around the world for its rarity, timeless proportions, and extraordinary craftsmanship, the F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu represents one of the finest opportunities to own a modern independent luxury watch and remains a cornerstone of any serious haute horology collection.
