F.P. Journe: The élégante 48 gives Journe’s electromechanical idea a larger canvas

The élégante 48 mm Titanium expands the collection’s tortue-shaped design while retaining a slim 7.95mm profile. A luminous white dial, blued hands and the visible motion detector establish a clear functional hierarchy. The official gallery shows how white, pink and yellow rubber straps alter its appearance.

The movement is quartz-regulated electromechanical calibre 1210. After 35 minutes of inactivity, it stops the hands while continuing to track time electronically. Moving the watch brings the hands back to the correct time by the shorter route. F.P. Journe states eight to ten years of battery life with daily use and up to eighteen in standby.
