F.P. Journe Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante

F.P. Journe lineSport Chronographe Rattrapante Monopoussoir 18k RG

Like many watchmaking brands, FP Journe has become renowned for particular kinds of watches. While this certainly isn't a bad thing, it does lead us to be somewhat surprised when they break the mould, just like when the F.P. Journe launched the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante. A sports watch in design, and at heart, the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante is, as its name suggests, a monopusher split-second chronograph fitted on an 18kt rose gose bracelet and case that is powered by FP Journe's technically impressive manually-wound cal. 1518 movement made almost entirely of rose gold. Packing 80 hours of power reserve and a flyback function, the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante is perhaps one of the finest and best value high horology split-second chronographs on the market. As you would expect from a watchmaker like FP Journe, this timepiece pulls no punches regarding its construction, engineering prowess or unadulterated beauty. Measuring 44mm in diameter, the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante is certainly on the larger side, and with its precious metal construction and integrated bracelet design it wears with the sort of heft and presence that one would like in a luxury timepiece. Offering F.P. Journe’s aesthetics through its dial and overarching design, the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante offers F.P. Journe’s iconic design language within a technically astute package that shows F.P. Journe makes a lot more than just dress watches. Brand : F.P.

Journe's signature screw-down dial plate making up the two subdials. THE CONSTRUCTION While its 44mm diameter can sound daunting, the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante benefits from F.P. Journe's impressively consistent proportions and a lug-free design to ensure that it wears smaller than one might initially assume.
