Souverain Havana
The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain Havana is an exquisite blend of timeless elegance and modern precision. Encased in 40 mm of platinum with an overall height of just 8 mm, this watch features a unique Havana guilloché silver dial, developed exclusively by F.P. Journe’s own dial makers. The ivory-colored steel hands beautifully complement the dial, which results from a meticulous process combining gold and ruthenium.
Inspired by early 19th-century marine chronometers, the Chronomètre Souverain houses an extra-flat movement only 4 mm thick, with a base plate and bridges made of 18k rose gold. Its dual barrels deliver a highly linear force, ensuring precision for over 56 hours, with the escapement beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Paired with a luxurious caramel alligator strap, this watch exemplifies F.P. Journe's dedication to craftsmanship and innovative watchmaking.
