F.P. Journe’s titanium Chronographe Rattrapante puts the split-second mechanism first

The F.P. Journe lineSport Chronographe Rattrapante is built around the manually wound calibre 1518, a monopusher split-seconds chronograph with an unusually large date display. Its 44 mm titanium case is paired with a slate-grey aluminium-alloy dial, engraved sapphire chronograph counters and a ceramic-inlaid tachymeter bezel.

The calibre offers approximately 80 hours of power reserve with the chronograph disengaged. Rubber inserts protect the case and articulated titanium bracelet from friction, while luminous numerals keep the technical display readable. This is established catalogue coverage rather than a claimed 2026 launch; Chronolume is adding it to strengthen representation of F.P. Journe beyond the recently covered Chronomètre Furtif.
