What to know

F.P. Journe’s Lune places the time on an off-centre dial secured within a polished steel ring. A large date, moon phase and retrograde reserve display occupy the surrounding space. The construction makes the layers visible: the time display feels mounted onto the main dial, giving the watch an architectural character.

The automatic Octa 1300.3 movement uses an 18K rose-gold structure and an off-centre 22K gold rotor. F.P. Journe states 160 ±10 hours of effective autonomy, with a 120-hour reserve scale. Platinum and 18K 6N gold cases are offered in 40 or 42mm sizes, at 10.7mm thick.
