THE F.P.JOURNE DIVINE HAS A MECHANICAL MOVEMENT WITH AUTOMATIC WINDING, MANUFACTURED IN 18K ROSE GOLD, BUILT ON THE EXCLUSIVE CALIBRE OCTA 1300.3. IT HAS MADE ITS MARK AS THE FIRST AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT WITH A POWER RESERVE SUFFICIENT TO INSURE PRECISION TIMEKEEPING FOR OVER FIVE DAYS OR 120 H (EFFECTIVE POWER RESERVE: 160 H ± 10 H). IT IS WOUND UNIDIRECTIONALLY BY THE EXCLUSIVE OFF-CENTRE F.P.JOURNE ROTOR IN 22K 6N GOLD, USING A SELF-LOCKING BALL BEARING SYSTEM FOR UNEQUALLED EFFICIENCY. EVERY INFINITESIMAL MOVEMENT OF THE WRIST IS THUS MAXIMALLY EXPLOITED FOR AN OPTIMISED WINDING OF THE WATCH. THE VARIABLE INERTIA BALANCE WHEEL ENSURES AN OPTIMUM YIELD THAT OFFERS AN IRREPROACHABLE STABILITY.

THE INSTANTANEOUS LARGE DATE IS DISPLAYED IN ENLARGED WINDOWS THAT STAND OUT AGAINST THE GOLD DIAL WHERE THE SECONDS DISK DISPLAY AND THE RETROGRADE POWER RESERVE INDICATOR WITH A 120-HOUR SCALE ARE SUBTLY DELINEATED.

THE ELEGANT SAPPHIRE MOON PHASE DISK, THE DELICATE BLUED STEEL HANDS, AND THE STREAMLINED POLISHED STEEL CIRCLE SCREWED TO THE DIAL ARE ALL EXCLUSIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF F.P.JOURNE.

A SPARK OF WHIMSY IS ADDED BY THE DIFFERENT SIZED NUMERALS OF THE HOURS RING, WHILE RED DOTS ENLIVEN THE RESOLUTELY CONTEMPORARY AESTHETICS OF THE DIAL.

FINALLY, THE MOONPHASE COMPLICATION OFFERS A LINK TO ANCIENT TIMES, WHEN THE FULL MOON WAS THE ONLY SOURCE OF LIGHT DURING THE NIGHT AND INSTRUMENTAL IN NAVIGATION AND THE RISE OF CIVILIZATION. WHILE TODAY WE NO LONGER DEPEND ON MOONLIGHT FOR NAVIGATION, THE MOONPHASE REMAINS ONE OF THE MOST POETIC OF ALL COMPLICATIONS, GIVING AN ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVE OF THE PASSAGE OF TIME.

A SPECIFIC WHEEL TRAIN ALLOWS PRECISE MOON PHASE INDICATIONS. ADJUSTING THE INDICATIONS IS DONE VIA THE CROWN, WHICH MAKES IT VERY EASY TO USE.
