F.P. Journe’s Chronomètre Furtif keeps its time almost entirely to its owner

F.P. Journe’s Chronomètre Furtif is built around discretion. The anthracite Grand Feu enamel dial is applied to a white-gold base, and its polished numerals become readable primarily when the watch is viewed directly by its wearer. The 42 mm case and integrated bracelet are made from tungsten carbide, complemented by tantalum components including the bezel, crown and caseback.

The hand-wound calibre 1522 is fashioned in 18-carat rose gold and delivers approximately 56 hours of power reserve. Central seconds appear on the dial, while a power-reserve display and moon-phase indication are placed on the back. Introduced in March 2025, the Chronomètre Furtif gives F.P. Journe’s sports-watch architecture a notably private, technically elaborate identity.
