Ever since François-Paul Journe created his first timepieces, his dream was to manufacture them in gold. The dream became reality in 2004, and F.P.Journe is today the only watch brand to produce its movements in 18kt rose gold. Now, the dials are also available in 18kt gold with embossed mirror numbers integrated into the dial.
After a very careful preparation of the dial, including a refined sanding for the base to be perfect, a specific F.P.Journe silver layer is applied. The numbers are then surfaced with a diamond tool making them appear like mirrors on the dial. The last operation is the print transfer for the time indications and the F.P.Journe logo which requires up to 5 successive layers for a perfect bombé shape.
The new gold dials are available for the Chronomètre Souverain, the Octa Réserve and the Octa Lune models, and they are available world-wide at the ten F.P.Journe boutiques.
