First unveiled in 2000, the Chronomètre à Résonance represents one of the wildest challenge ever in the field of mechanical
watches! This emblematic timepiece is a milestone in the constant research for precision of the master watch maker François-Paul Journe.
Using the natural resonance phenomenon, this exceptional mechanism revolutionized the classic standards of watchmaking
by offering unequalled precision for a wristwatch.
In 2004, F.P. Journe introduced a second version of the Chronomètre à Résonance with the introduction of the first movement
ever made in 18K rose Gold, a specification that, from then on, applied to all the precision chronometers of the brand.
In 2010, commemorating the 10-year anniversary of the renowned Chronomètre à Résonance, F.P. Journe offers it a new face.
In an ultimate quest for precision, the dial at 9 o’clock proposes a time indication of 24 hours, defining precisely the hours of day and those
of night. The dial at 3 o’clock in silver guilloche indicates the local time but can also be used for the same time zone.
In 2018, anticipating the 20
th
anniversary of the Chronomètre à Résonance in 2020, F.P. Journe creates this new version with
two analogic dials with a 24-hour display indicator at 9 o’clock and 12-hour display indicator at 3 o’clock.
The subtle 18K rose Gold mechanism with its two perfectly synchronised beating mechanical hearts is revealed through a sap-
phire crystal case-back. Their new Chronomètre a Résonance will be, as its predecessor, available in two versions: one with a platinum
case and white gold dial, the other entirely in red gold. The two dials in silver guilloche indicating the hours, minutes and seconds are
secured on the 18K Gold dial by polished steel rings, a patent by F.P. Journe.
The Chronomètre a Résonance is imbued with a profoundly poetic depth, and remains, the most precise mechanical watch in
contemporary watch making.
