The Making Of F.P.Journe's Most Complicated Watch

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 18 фев 2015
  • In the world of high complications, the grande and petite sonnerie holds a very special place, well above even split-seconds chronographs, perpetual calendars, and certainly above the once-holy tourbillon. There are but a small handful of watchmakers, as individuals, or as brands, capable of producing such a watch. It is that special, and François-Paul Journe launched his Sonnerie Souveraine back in 2006, by himself. For more, go to: www.hodinkee.co...

    I lived in Geneva for three years and walked past this house probably every day of my stay but never knew this was F-P Journe's HQ. Thanks Hodinkee.

    Oh, my GOD! When did he have the time to make this piece? He's always present at all events and receptions, and he travels a lot everywhere, New York, Paris. This guys is amazing and this is one of my grail watches.

    Hodinkee is the channel that made watches a obsession of mine. I love your videos I wake up at anytime to see your new videos. I am only 13 but Hodinkee made me get into watches because I have seen that a time piece is more than just the time it's hours of craftsmanship. I am now into vintage watches because I saw from your talking watches episodes that a every watch has a story. I have worked a lot to earn money. I am looking forward to buying a Tudor Heritage Chrono a Omega Speed master or a 34mm Datejust. Once again thank you for the videos and thank you for giving me a new hobby.

    Journe, is without doubt, a watchmaker who is already recognised as one of the great names in the annals of history.
    His, conquering of -scientific challenges - and the asthetic beauty of his pieces -true art-, are true wonders.

      A watch doesn't have to be expensive to be appreciated.
      I collect and restore Canadian Westclox pocket watches.
      I taught myself how to repair them and most of my watches were purchased in broken condition.
      They may be simple and in their day cheap but they still have a beauty of their own and I also have an attachment to them from having restored them to working order

    Complicated watches are wonderful, but that's what they are - complicated watches. Before
    the advent of computer, they do make sense. Now, it's just simply not
    practical. It's just like cars.
    Too often 'dress watch' simply means 'not a sports watch', but, there's rather more to it
    than that. For example a high end classic Three Centre Hands manual
    winding watches are very rare, and sort after by connoisseurs. One of this in
    Patek will cost you a Benz or BMW. Normally, what we see are those with 2 hands
    or sub second hand.
    So, as watch lovers, we are grateful to Grand Seiko
    for continuing with the SBGW series every year, the latest being the 231, at an
    affordable price of 3K, with finishing that even Patek would not want to
    compete.

    • @BarisPalabiyik

      When the second hand is placed, the sub-dial will be fixed forever, glue is not there to hold the subdial until forever, its just there until assembly probably.

  • @BoronAlloy
    @BoronAlloy 7 лет назад +1

    If FP was using the metal with the best resonance properties, he’d be using titanium alloy. Very few do so because it’s a harder material to machine, unlike the softer golds, platinum, and (316L) stainless steel.

    • @BarisPalabiyik
      @BarisPalabiyik 5 лет назад +1

      F.P. uses tantulum in his entry level watch. Which is the one of the most difficult metal to work with (machine it). I don't think he would go for easy option in his most expensive and complicated watch. Don't you think?
