Summary of Contents for F.P. Journe Octa Sport

  • Page 3 Preface Calibre Octa A Horological Ideal_ The construction of the Octa calibre has less powerful ties with the history of horology than the constant-force device or resonance models do. Nevertheless, it symbolizes a horological ideal: giving timekeepers the highest possible degree of precision and autonomy. It can be observed, that if church clocks were set so high in towers, apart from enhancing visibility, was mostly because it often took an entire month for the driving weights to drop the length of their cords.
  • Page 4 With an extreme lightness in absolute comfort, the watch in its totality only weighs around 75 grams. The passage from 18K rose gold, used for all the F.P. Journe movements, to aluminium was not without difficulty, for obvious technical reasons. F.P. Journe took his research to a higher level in an aesthetical quest to complete the appropriate contrast in colours.
  • Page 5 The new “lineSport” is composed of a collection of ultra light watches entirely made in Titanium and Aluminium: specifically conceived for a proficient sportive activity. The Aluminium movement of each watch of the “lineSport” retains the exceptional properties of the exclusive F.P. Journe calibres.
