## Caption

“Invenit et Fecit,” meaning “invented and made,” serves as the motto of F.P. Journe, and it’s intricately embedded in every watch he creates. Among Journe’s most highly sought-after timepieces is the Chronomètre Bleu. Meticulously crafted in tantalum—a material comparable in weight to platinum and notoriously challenging to work with—this watch showcases Journe’s unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries. 

The case strikes a harmonious balance between an extreme build quality and a sleek size suitable for a modern dress watch, boasting a 39 mm diameter and a slender case thickness ideal for everyday wear. The captivating blue dial adds the finishing touch, making this timepiece a true gem in any collection of elegant dress watches. 

Discover this and more from the #SothebysLondon Fine Watches sale in our link in bio before bidding closes 29 May at 2:00PM BST. #SothebysWatches #FPJourne
