OVERSIZED ELEGANCE
The revolutionary electro-mechanical movement, the very long autonomy, and the exceptional comfort of use of F.P. Journe’s popular Élégante
model is now available in a bold 48mm version. The ultra-contemporary
flat Tortue case houses the caliber 1210 electro-mechanical movement,
which goes into stand-by mode after 30 minutes motionless. During
this standby mode, the micro processor continues to keep time, while
the mechanical parts, gears, rotors and hands stop turning. Thus the
energy saved provides a very long a utonomy from 8 to 10 years in daily
use, and up to 18 years in standby mode. When moved, the Élégante
sets itself automatically to the current time, taking the shortest path –
either clockwise or counter clockwise. Easy readability is ensured by
the luminous dial, providing optimal legibility by day or night.
