F. P. JOURNE
COLORFUL POWER SAVERS
The Élégante collection, which F. P. Journe debuted two years ago, features Journe’ s patented tortue-cased three-hand models with a special hibernation feature that extends the working capacity of an already long-lasting battery. When the watch is off the wrist for more than thirty minutes it will stop. In standby mode, the dual-motor microprocessor continues to keep time, while the gears, two rotors and hands stop moving to save energy. When the watch is again placed onto the wrist it automatically sets itself to the correct time. The hands will in fact take the shortest path- either clockwise or counterclockwise – to the current time, also saving battery power.
F. P. Journe makes the Élégante with several case options: A light titanium case with colorful rubber insets( that mimic cloisonné) with a matching rubber strap: a red gold case and a platinum case. The titanium models are available with white, rose, light blue, midnight blue, chocolate, burgundy red, and khaki green rubber insets and straps. Each titanium model also features full-dial SuperLuminova luminescence. The red gold version comes with a brown strap and the platinum version with a dark blue strap. Diamonds can also be set on any model. Prices start at $ 12,300.
