For Mother's day, a magical wath which allows time to be stopped and started again

The élégante by F.P.Journe - the revolutionary horological concept.

Available in 7 colours, the élégante by F.P.Journe is the watch dedicated to women. A colour matching (for) the personality of each woman, white, powder rose, chocolate, khaki green, turquoise, midnight blue and light blue, with 1 row of diamond and ceramic inserts assorted to the rubber strap. The élégante will unquestionably seduce each woman by its unique character and the magic inherent to F.P.Journe creations; it allows time to be stopped and started again!

The élégante by F.P.Journe embodies the intelligent watch. This electromechanical watch is fitted with a mechanical motion detector visible on the dial at 4h30. After 30 minutes motionless, the watch switches to standby mode in order to save energy and its hands stop turning. During the standby mode, the microprocessor continues to measure time, but the mechanical elements - gear train, rotors and hands, stop moving. As soon as it is worn again, the hands automatically set themselves to the correct time; taking the shortest path, whether clockwise or counter-clockwise. Magical!

It took 8 years of research for F.P.Journe to develop this revolutionary horological concept with extremely precise requirements, leading to this gem of innovation, technical performance, precision and comfort. The élégante by F.P.Journe was designed and conceived specifically for women, providing this watch with a very long autonomy of 8 to 18 years depending if in daily use or in standby mode.

  • Titanium case (35 x 40mm) set with 38 round diamonds, or non-set, with ceramic inserts, luminescent  dial and rubber strap in 7 colours.
