About the brand

Let us share with you the captivating tale of F.P. Journe, a brand that exudes excellence and luxury in the world of horology. The journey of François-Paul Journe, the founder, began long before he established his own watch company in 1999. Born in the enchanting port city of Marseille, France in 1957, his passion for watchmaking was ignited in the cradle of France.

At the tender age of 14, he enrolled in a technical college and honed his skills. Years of hard work and dedication culminated in his graduation from the Paris watchmaking school in 1976. A mere two years later, Journe began working on his first tourbillon pocket watch, inspired by a George Daniels pocket watch that he had glimpsed on a client at his uncle's watchmaking studio. The master watchmaker would later be mentored by none other than the legendary George Daniels, the mastermind behind the Co-Axial Escapement.

At the age of 22, Journe was commissioned by Parisian ateliers P-G Brun to design a planetarium mechanism for Asprey in London. He worked tirelessly for seven years, and in 1983, he completed his first tourbillon pocket watch. He created the watch in his free time when he wasn't busy working for his uncle. François-Paul meticulously crafted every component of the watch, including the gold and silver case.

In 1985, Journe established his workshop where he created bespoke watches for collectors. A year later, F.P. Journe's first automatic chronometer pocket watch was born. This horological masterpiece housed a fusée chain and a five-second remontoire, along with a retrograde perpetual calendar and equation of time. In 1987, he crafted a planetary pocket watch that was commissioned by a collector.

Journe's skills and passion for watchmaking earned him several prestigious awards over the years. He received recognition from the Fondation Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet pour la Vocation, the Watchmakers Convention in Madrid, the Institut l'Homme et le Temps' Gaia Award for the Best Watchmaker, and the Prix Spécial du Jury.

In 1989, F.P. Journe established a movement manufacturer in Switzerland, where they eventually settled in Geneva. In 1991, Journe crafted his first wristwatch, creating the entire movement out of 18k gold. Just a few years later, in 1996, he founded TIM SA, a manufacturer dedicated to developing exclusive calibers.

The Tourbillon Souverain was launched in 1999, along with the newly established Montres Journe SA. The watch was inscribed with the words "F.P. Journe – Invenit et Fecit," which translate to "invented and made," signifying that it was an original conception crafted by only the best of craftsmen.

F.P. Journe continued to grow, and by 2000, the manufacturer had 50 employees producing 3-4 watches per day. In 2001, Journe developed the Octa calibre, his first mechanical movement that was self-winding. He would also work on the Opus One collection for Harry Winston.

Journe's success continued, and in 2003, he opened his first boutique in the Omotesando district of Tokyo, a vibrant hub for culture and the arts. This was followed by a Hong Kong boutique in 2006 and the first European boutique in Geneva in 2007. Today, F.P. Journe has boutiques around the world, including in the United States, showcasing Journe's captivating timepieces.

In 2018, Chanel acquired a minority stake in F.P. Journe, further solidifying the brand's place in the luxury watch industry. Journe's legacy has also inspired other up-and-coming independent watchmakers, including Rexhep Rexhepi, who worked for F.P. Journe before founding his own independent brand, Akrivia.

As a watch expert, I am in awe of Journe's dedication and commitment to creating truly exceptional watches that stand the test of time. His innovative designs and impeccable craftsmanship make F.P. Journe a true icon in the world of luxury watches.

About the watch

The F.P. Journe LineSport Rattrapante Titanium CMS is a true marvel of modern horology, combining athletic design with high-complication innovation—an icon within the LineSport series.

Lightweight Yet Rugged:

Its 44 mm Grade 5 titanium case, complemented by a matching titanium-and-rubber bracelet, delivers exceptional durability while weighing just around 81 g. Though bold in presence, its thoughtful proportions allow it to wear closer to 42 mm on the wrist, projecting strength without bulk.

Technical Brilliance:

At its heart lies the manually wound Calibre 1518, a monopusher split-seconds chronograph movement refined for precision. Its rock-solid direct gearing with a rocking pinion mechanism prevents the split-second hand from jumping, while the ultra-slim 6.80 mm movement accommodates a large date display—an impressive achievement for such a compact caliber. Powered by this movement, the CDI offers a generous 80-hour power reserve, so it’s built to perform over time as well as in real-time.

Sport-Ready Aesthetics:

The slate-grey aluminum dial, titanium ceramic tachymeter bezel, and bold luminescent numerals reflect its racing DNA. Sapphire chronograph counters and a refined typography inspired by F.P. Journe’s Only Watch designs further enhance its dynamic character.

Haute Horlogerie Finishing:

Visible through a sapphire caseback, the Calibre 1518 is decorated with circular stripes, polished bevels, and meticulously finished edges—a rare spectacle within a sporty sports-watch framework.

A Collector’s Desideratum:

Born from the ethos of independent watchmaking and evolved from the brand’s exclusive Only Watch prototype, the LineSport Rattrapante Titanium CMS is a standout piece. It merges split-second performance, lightweight engineering, and haute finition into one integrated package—ideal for collectors seeking sporty elegance and technical superiority.

In essence, the Rattrapante CMS is a rare combination of performance art and mechanical elegance—a high-complication sports instrument crafted to push the boundaries of what a modern chronograph can be.

At the heart of the Centigraphe beats the manually wound caliber 1506, a movement so meticulously engineered that it operates without a connection to the primary timekeeping system. This independent mechanism ensures that the chronograph’s operation does not interfere with the regular timekeeping of the watch, preserving its accuracy in every scenario. The caliber is a true testament to Journe’s philosophy of blending artistry with technical mastery.

Crafted from lightweight titanium, platinum, or gold, the Centigraphe’s case embodies the LineSport ethos of sporty elegance and exceptional comfort. The ergonomic design ensures it sits perfectly on the wrist, while the bold, legible dial layout invites the wearer to explore its functionality. The dial features three sub-registers, each dedicated to a different time scale—seconds, minutes, and hours—allowing for a dynamic and intuitive display of time.

Perhaps the most revolutionary aspect of the Centigraphe is its patented rocker at 2 o’clock, replacing the traditional pushers seen on most chronographs. This ingenious mechanism not only enhances the aesthetic purity of the case but also simplifies its operation, enabling a seamless start, stop, and reset of the chronograph.

Every detail of the Centigraphe reflects Journe’s commitment to excellence, from its flawlessly polished lugs to its sporty rubber inserts, which protect the case while adding a contemporary touch. The sapphire crystal caseback provides an unobstructed view of the stunning movement, with its intricate finishing and bridges crafted from solid gold—a hallmark of F.P. Journe’s uncompromising craftsmanship.

As a horological expert, I can confidently say that the Centigraphe by F.P. Journe is more than a watch; it is a wearable sculpture, a technical tour de force that continues to captivate collectors and connoisseurs alike. This timepiece is a celebration of precision, innovation, and timeless design, a testament to what modern haute horology can achieve. Whether you’re a lover of sports watches or a collector seeking something truly extraordinary, the Centigraphe is a masterpiece destined to leave an indelible mark on the history of watchmaking.
