Interestingly, it is François-Paul Journe's earliest brass-movement pieces which command more interest from collectors. It is estimated that only 2000 brass-movement examples were ever produced, across all lines, and were manufactured exclusively between 2001 and circa 2004. Brass-movement F.

The white gold dial is delicately textured, and displays a separate silver guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words \"Phases de Lune\" are inscribed below the moon-phase indicator, along with \"Invenit et Fecit\" (Latin for “Invented and Made”) in the brand's classic style – the latter, a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. The signature F.P. Journe style hands form a distinct contrast to the silver and grey dial. Between eight and nine o’clock is a power reserve indicator of 120 hours, with a large date aperture above.

Since the introduction of the first Reserve de Marche in 2001, mechanical F. P Journe examples can been divided into two main movement types – the manually-wound Souverain and automatic Octa (Latin for \"eight\" or \"infinite\"). In 2001, the Octa debuted as the first automatic movement to deliver 120 hours of precision timekeeping through reserved-power. Each Octa movement is designed to incorporate fully-integrated complications within the same volume. Impressively, all variations within F.

A year later, the Octa Réserve de Marche became F.P. Journe’s first automatic watch, produced between 2002 and 2014.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Octa Réserve de Marche is quintessentially an F.P Journe, in both its design language and movement. Housed in a classical 38 mm dress watch case, it is made distinctive by F.P. Journe’s signature flat crown with a rope-like pattern. The early, white gold dial has a granular, coarse finish, and displays a separate silver guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words ‘Invenit et Fecit’ are inscribed to the left the subsidiary seconds (Latin for “Invented and Made”) in classic F.P Journe style - a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. The signature F.P. Journe style hands form a distinct contrast to the dial. Between eight and nine o’clock is a power reserve indicator of 120 hours, with a large date aperture above. Overall, the dial layout is clean and highly legible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this piece is undeniably attractive, it is the movement that F.P. Journe is famed for. Since the introduction of the first Reserve de Marche in 2001, mechanical F. P Journe examples can been divided into two main movement types – the manually-wound \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/f-p-journe-souverain\" title=\"View our collection of Souverain watches\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSouverain\u003c\/a\u003e and automatic Octa (Latin for \"eight\" or \"infinite\"). In 2001, the Octa debuted as the first automatic movement to deliver 120 hours of precision timekeeping through reserved-power. Each Octa movement is designed to incorporate fully-integrated complications within the same volume. Impressively, all variations within F. P Journe’s entire Octa collection are identical, both in diameter and thickness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis automatic, self-winding F.P. Journe caliber 1300 movement is rhodium-plated brass, with straight Côtes de Genève embellishments, constructed with 32 jewels and a shock absorber mechanism. It further features a straight-line lever escapement, and monometallic 4-arm balance with 4 timing weights, adjusted to 5 positions. It includes a self-compensating free-sprung flat balance spring, and an off-center bi-directional 22-carat gold guilloche rotor. The movement is engraved \"Exclusive Power Reserve System\" and \"Precision Chronometer\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2004, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/from-the-bench-f-p-journe\" title=\"Read our interview with M.

With this introduction, all existing movements were issued with new caliber codes. In the case of the Octa Series, this caliber was referred to as 1300-2; indicating the second version of the movement. It’s believed that very few 1300-2 movements were made, during a short transitional period - consequently, making these rarer than many of the first generation brass-movement pieces.

The white gold dial is delicately textured, and displays a separate silver guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words \"Phases de Lune\" are inscribed below the moon-phase indicator, along with \"Invenit et Fecit\" (Latin for “Invented and Made”) in the brand's classic style – the latter, a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. The signature F.P. Journe style hands form a distinct contrast to the silver and grey dial. Between eight and nine o’clock is a power reserve indicator of 120 hours, with a large date aperture above. Overall, the dial layout is clean and highly legible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this piece is undeniably attractive, it is the movement that F.P. Journe is famed for. Since the introduction of the first Reserve de Marche in 2001, mechanical F. P Journe examples can been divided into two main movement types – the manually-wound Souverain and automatic Octa (Latin for \"eight\" or \"infinite\"). In 2001, the Octa debuted as the first automatic movement to deliver 120 hours of precision timekeeping through reserved-power. Each Octa movement is designed to incorporate fully-integrated complications within the same volume. Impressively, all variations within F. P Journe’s entire Octa collection are identical, both in diameter and thickness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis automatic, self-winding F.P. Journe caliber 1300.2 movement is 18-carat rose gold, with Côtes de Genève embellishments, constructed with 32 jewels and a shock absorber mechanism. It further features a straight-line lever escapement, and monometallic 4-arm balance with 4 timing weights, adjusted to 5 positions. It includes a self-compensating free-sprung flat balance spring and off-center bi-directional 22-carat gold guilloche rotor. The movement is engraved \"Exclusive Power Reserve System\" and \"Precision Chronometer\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe earliest works of François-Paul Journe, effortlessly blend traditional 19th-century watchmaking with modern haute-horology, in perfect harmony.

Unlike the standard Octa series, the dial of the Black Label edition features a deep, glossy finish, creating a strong contrast between the separate silver guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words ‘Invenit et Fecit’ are inscribed to the left the subsidiary seconds (Latin for “Invented and Made”) in classic F.P Journe style - a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. The signature F.P. Journe style hands are blued for the hours, minutes and sub-seconds. Between eight and nine o’clock is a power reserve indicator of 120 hours, with a large date aperture above. Overall, the dial layout is clean and highly legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe set\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis 40mm platinum \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/all\/f-p-journe\" title=\"View our collection of F.

In many ways, the Octa Divine represents the first departure from the design of the original Réserve de Marche, alongside the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/all\/products\/octa-zodiaque-brass-movement-40mm-platinum\" title=\"Zodiaque\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eZodiaque\u003c\/a\u003e, and indicative of Journe’s willingness to experiment early on. Initially introduced in 36mm and 38mm case sizes, this 38mm Octa Divine is one of the few examples from the earlier series of the model. Furthermore, the classical 38 mm case is - sadly - no longer in production, making it even more coveted by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe design\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the design, Monsieur Journe used familiar pieces from the Chronomètre Souverain, Octa Lune and Zodiaque. Like the Souverain, the outer track of the Octa Divine holds the embossed decorative Arabic numerals. Borrowing from the Octa Lune, the Divine shows the moonphase display at 7 o’clock, though turned 45 degrees to allow for the oversized sub-seconds and chapter ring. Taking from the Zodiaque, the large aperture for the date and power reserve indicator are displayed in the same format.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSized at 38mm, this Octa Divine features a rounded bezel, thin lugs and the manufactures' oversized ‘flat crown’ with a rope-like pattern. The entire watch is polished and mirror finished, while the crown itself is engraved. The mechanism allows for correction of the date and moonphase via the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe movement\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this piece is undeniably attractive, it is the movement that F.P. Journe is famed for. Since the introduction of the first Réserve de Marche in 2001, mechanical F. P Journe examples can be divided into two main movement types – the manually-wound Souverain and automatic Octa (Latin for \"eight\" or \"infinite\"). Each Octa movement is designed to incorporate fully-integrated complications within the same volume. Impressively, all variations within F. P Journe’s entire Octa collection are identical, both in diameter and thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004, Journe switched to manufacturing movements from 18-carat gold, having developed the brand sufficiently to further the manufacturing process and move away from brass. With this introduction, all existing movements were issued with new caliber codes. In the case of the Octa series, this caliber was referred to as 1300-2; indicating the second version of the movement. It’s believed that very few 1300-2 movements were made, during a short transitional period - consequently, making these rarer than many of the first generation brass-movement pieces.

Journe in The Journal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/from-the-bench-f-p-journe\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFrancois-Paul Journe\u003c\/a\u003e had already proven his skill as a talented watchmaker. Having spent time restoring clocks and pocket watches from the likes of Janvier and Breguet, he had also completed complex commissions for Asprey and Cartier, among others. In his own time, the young watchmaker had also already assembled a pocket watch integrating a tourbillon, by following the writings of \u003ca title=\"View our collection of George Daniels watches and objects\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/george-daniels\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGeorge Daniels\u003c\/a\u003e, as well as a handful of prototype wristwatches integrating a tourbillon and remontoir d’égalité systems. However, Journe had not yet established his own brand, lacking the capital to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne day, while out to lunch, his friend Camille Berthet suggested a subscription model. The idea was simple; a few trusting clients would have put the money forward for a watch that was yet to be made. In exchange for this good faith, they would receive a 50% reduction on its retail value, allowing the watchmaker to raise just enough money to start the production of pieces under his own eponymous brand. The project behind the \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/f-p-journe\/products\/souscription-tourbillon-platinum\" title=\"View our previously sold F. P. Journe Souscription Tourbillon\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSouscription Tourbillon\u003c\/a\u003e was born, with twenty close clients and friends of the watchmaker committing a deposit, sight unseen. These early wristwatches became the foundation of the F.P. Journe manufacture we know today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Birth of the Octa \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Octa Réserve de Marche was the first automatic movement developed and produced by François-Paul Journe. The watchmaker aspired to do was create a base calibre that could hold all kinds of complications, without gaining a fraction of a millimetre in thickness or width. He achieved in doing so, hence why all the movements in the Octa line, from the Octa Chronographe to the Octa Calendrier, all share the same dimensions, no matter what complication they hold. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThat base caliber birthed a whole collection of complicated watches, which endure to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first step in this journey was the Octa Réserve de Marche, introduced in 2001. Only two years after establishing his own eponymous brand, this was the third watch released by François-Paul Journe, following the Tourbillon Souverain and the Chronomètre à Résonance. Combined, these three models represent the watchmaker's earliest brushstrokes and the foundation for the brand he would build over the following decades. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAn early example\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 2001 and 2003, it is estimated that F.P. Journe produced between 459 and 530 Octa Réserve de Marche watches with brass movements, before transitioning to rose gold movements. One of the main distinguishing traits found in these brass movement pieces is \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ethe use of rounded Côtes de Genève on most models, with a small handful displaying \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/thejourneguy.com\/the-octa-straight-cotes-de-geneve\/\" title=\"Read The Journe Guy's article\" target=\"_blank\"\u003estraight line Côtes de Genève\u003c\/a\u003e. The straight line finishing only seems to feature on the first batch of models produced in 2001, making these all the more elusive and desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough it is unconfirmed exactly how many straight-line movements were produced, the highest number to have appeared is within the 13X\/01A range. It is therefore estimated that around 110 straight-line calibres were produced and cased (excluding numbers 1 to 20, which were made later). This specific Octa Réserve de Marche belongs to that batch of early pieces with straight-line \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCôtes de Genève.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Design\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Octa Réserve de Marche builds on the aesthetic cues cemented by the Tourbillon Souverain and the Chronomètre à Résonance. The dial design integrates a masterful use of asymmetry and empty space, achieving a layout that is both refined and legible. Though the dials of the Octa Réserve de Marche series show very little alteration throughout the brass movement period, some earlier examples carry a higher shimmer and texture, which can be found on this specific example. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe asymmetric dial is delicately textured, with a separate silver guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words \"Invenit et Fecit\" are inscribed below the power reserve - Latin for \"Invented and Made\" or more literally \"Designed and built by F.P. Journe\" - in classic F.P. Journe style, a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. At nine o’clock, a power reserve indicator of 120 hours is also shown. The classic 38mm case is another reminder of this being one of the watchmaker's earliest pieces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe movement\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-winding F.P. Journe caliber 1300 movement is made entirely from rhodium-plated brass save for one component, the bi-directional rotor in 22K rose gold. This is a logical choice for many watchmakers, for a rotor with a high karat gold count has a significantly higher mass than other materials such as brass or stainless steel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt features Côtes de Genève embellishments, constructed with 32 jewels and a shock absorber mechanism. It also integrates a straight-line lever escapement, and monometallic 4-arm balance with 4 timing weights, adjusted to 5 positions. The movement is engraved \"Exclusive Power Reserve System\" and \"Precision Chronometer\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe development of the movement was a prolonged process, with the main task being refining the mainspring to a point where it gave consistent power to the gear train, for as large a proportion of its unwinding as possible. Together with a specialist spring maker, Journe finally settled on a design that was a metre long and 1mm thick. This caliber 1300 also integrates a power reserve of 120 hours, which was still the largest that had ever been put into a wristwatch at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe set\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis 38mm \u003ca title=\"View our collection of F.

Throughout the production cycle of the model, both the 38mm and 40mm case size were used, with this model being an example of the latter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2015, the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOcta Lune Nouvelle replaced the Octa Lune collection, with an updated 42mm case size, tilted moonphase, engraved numerals, as well as a range of other changes. This Octa Lune, with its matching rose gold case and dial, marks the last generation of the original design. Its serial number on the caseback indicates that it was among the first 340 pieces to be produced with a rose gold movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe design\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a contemporary 40mm case, this Octa Lune is made distinctive by a number of signature elements throughout. The combination of the rose gold case and matching dial is rather unusual, being one of the rarest configurations found in Francois-Paul Journe's production. The tone-on-tone nature of it, reminiscent of some vintage Patek Philippe wristwatches, has been of particular appeal to some. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe warm, rose gold dial is delicately textured, and displays a separate silver guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words \"Phases de Lune\" are inscribed below the moonphase indicator, following the curvature of the aperture. This is mirrored by the the words \"Invenit et Fecit\" at the top of the dial, which is Latin for \"Invented and Made\" or more literally \"Designed and built by F.P. Journe\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt nine o’clock, a power reserve indicator of 120 hours is also shown. Interestingly, when the Octa movement was first introduced, the power reserve could actually reach 168 hours, rather than 120. However, the chronometric performance for those additional hours was not as Journe hoped or promised with the watch. For this reason, Journe stopped the power reserve at just 120 hours, which was still the largest that had ever been put into a wristwatch at the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Movement\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004, Journe switched to manufacturing movements from 18 carat gold, having developed the brand sufficiently to further the manufacturing process and move away from brass. With this introduction, all existing movements were issued with new caliber codes. In the case of the Octa Series, this caliber was referred to as 1300.2, before receiving a further update as 1300.3, indicating the third version of the movement. The 1300.3 marked the switch from bi-directional to uni-directional winding, introducing a new ball-bearing system to increase winding efficiency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Octa Lune is powered by this updated 1300.3 caliber, which is made out of 18 carat rose gold, with Côtes de Genève embellishments. It features a straight-line lever escapement, and monometallic 4-arm balance with 4 timing weights, adjusted to 5 positions. It includes a self-compensating free-sprung flat balance spring and off-center, uni-directional 22-carat gold guilloché rotor. The movement is engraved \"Exclusive Power Reserve System\" and \"Precision Chronometer\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe set\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis 40mm \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/all\/f-p-journe\" title=\"View our collection of F.

Journe in The Journal\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFrancois-Paul Journe\u003c\/a\u003e had already proven his skill as a talented watchmaker. Having spent time restoring clocks and pocket watches from the likes of Janvier and Breguet, he had also completed complex commissions for Asprey and Cartier, among others. In his own time, the young watchmaker had also already assembled a pocket watch integrating a tourbillon, by following the writings of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/george-daniels\" title=\"View our collection of George Daniels watches and objects\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGeorge Daniels\u003c\/a\u003e, as well as a handful of prototype wristwatches integrating a tourbillon and remontoir d’égalité systems. However, Journe had not yet established his own brand, lacking the capital to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne day, while out to lunch, his friend Camille Berthet suggested a subscription model. The idea was simple; a few trusting clients would have put the money forward for a watch that was yet to be made. In exchange for this good faith, they would receive a 50% reduction on its retail value, allowing the watchmaker to raise just enough money to start the production of pieces under his own eponymous brand. The project behind the \u003ca title=\"View our previously sold F. P.

These early wristwatches became the foundation of the F.P. Journe manufacture we know today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Birth of the Octa \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Octa Réserve de Marche was the first automatic movement developed and produced by François-Paul Journe. The watchmaker aspired to do was create a base calibre that could hold all kinds of complications, without gaining a fraction of a millimetre in thickness or width. He achieved in doing so, hence why all the movements in the Octa line, from the Octa Chronographe to the Octa Calendrier, all share the same dimensions, no matter what complication they hold. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThat base caliber birthed a whole collection of complicated watches, which endure to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first step in this journey was the Octa Réserve de Marche, introduced in 2001. Only two years after establishing his own eponymous brand, this was the third watch released by François-Paul Journe, following the Tourbillon Souverain and the Chronomètre à Résonance. Combined, these three models represent the watchmaker's earliest brushstrokes and the foundation for the brand he would build over the following decades. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAn transitional example\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 2001 and 2003, it is estimated that F.P. Journe produced between 459 and 530 Octa Réserve de Marche watches with brass movements, before transitioning to solid gold movements. This change is understood to have occurred in 2004, once the brand was sufficiently developed to further their manufacturing processes and move away from brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this introduction, all existing movements were issued with new caliber codes. In the case of the Octa Series, this caliber was referred to as 1300-2, indicating the second version of the movement. It’s believed that very few 1300-2 movements were made, during a short transitional period. Consequently, it makes these rarer than many of the first generation brass-movement pieces.

The dial design integrates a masterful use of asymmetry and empty space, achieving a layout that is both refined and legible. Though the dials of the Octa Réserve de Marche series show very little alteration throughout the rose gold movement period, some earlier examples still retain the two-tone silvery sub-dial - a feature which is typically only found on Journe's earliest wristwatches . \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe asymmetric dial is delicately textured, with a separate silver guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words \"Invenit et Fecit\" are inscribed below the power reserve - Latin for \"Invented and Made\" or more literally \"Designed and built by F.P. Journe\" - in classic F.P. Journe style, a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. At nine o’clock, a power reserve indicator of 120 hours is also shown. The classic 38mm case is another reminder of this being one of the watchmaker's earlier pieces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe movement\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-winding F.P.

Together with a specialist spring maker, Journe finally settled on a design that was a metre long and 1mm thick. This caliber 1300-2 also integrates a power reserve of 120 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe set\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis 38mm \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/all\/f-p-journe\" title=\"View our collection of F.

Journe in The Journal\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFrancois-Paul Journe\u003c\/a\u003e had already proven his skill as a talented watchmaker. Having spent time restoring clocks and pocket watches from the likes of Janvier and Breguet, he had also completed complex commissions for Asprey and Cartier, among others. In his own time, the young watchmaker had also already assembled a pocket watch integrating a tourbillon, by following the writings of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/george-daniels\" title=\"View our collection of George Daniels watches and objects\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGeorge Daniels\u003c\/a\u003e, as well as a handful of prototype wristwatches integrating a tourbillon and remontoir d’égalité systems. However, Journe had not yet established his own brand, lacking the capital to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne day, while out to lunch, his friend Camille Berthet suggested a subscription model. The idea was simple. A few trusting clients would have put the money forward for a watch that was yet to be made. In exchange for this good faith, they would receive a 50% reduction on its retail value, allowing the watchmaker to raise just enough money to start the production of pieces under his own eponymous brand. The project behind the \u003ca title=\"View our previously sold F. P. Journe Souscription Tourbillon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/f-p-journe\/products\/souscription-tourbillon-platinum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSouscription Tourbillon\u003c\/a\u003e was born, with twenty close clients and friends of the watchmaker committing a deposit, sight unseen. These early wristwatches became the foundation of the F.P. Journe manufacture we know today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Birth of the Octa \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Octa Réserve de Marche was the first automatic movement developed and produced by François-Paul Journe. What the watchmaker aspired to do was to create a base calibre that could hold all kinds of complications, without gaining a fraction of a millimetre in thickness or width. He achieved in doing so, hence why all the movements in the Octa line, from the Octa Chronographe to the Octa Calendrier, all share the same dimensions, no matter what complication they hold. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThat base caliber birthed a whole collection of complicated watches, which endure to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first step in this journey was the Octa Réserve de Marche, introduced in 2001. Only two years after establishing his own eponymous brand, this was the third watch released by François-Paul Journe, following the Tourbillon Souverain and the Chronomètre à Résonance. Combined, these three models represent the watchmaker's earliest brushstrokes and the foundation for the brand he would build over the following decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is estimated that F.P. Journe produced under 600 Octa Réserve de Marche watches with brass movements, before transitioning to rose gold movements. This particular example stands out for being amongst the latest pieces to have left the manufacture with a brass movement. Indeed, the \"57X-05A\" serial number on the caseback suggests that the watch was assembled in 2005, with the guarantee card confirming that it was sold the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Design \u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEarly F.P. Journe watches are traditionally housed in a platinum case, with very few rose gold examples ever produced. Having chosen platinum for his first prototypes and the Souscription Tourbillons, it is believed that Journe himself preferred the white metal, with several of his early clients also favouring its versatility. Rose gold examples are believed to be rarest within the production series, with the white gold dial making this piece all the more elusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Octa Réserve de Marche builds on the aesthetic cues cemented by the Tourbillon Souverain and the Chronomètre à Résonance. The dial integrates a masterful use of asymmetry and empty space, achieving a layout that is both refined and legible. A separate white guilloché dial displays the hours and minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe words \"Invenit et Fecit\" are inscribed below the power reserve - Latin for \"Invented and Made\" or more literally \"Designed and built by F.P. Journe\", in classic F.P. Journe style - a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. At nine o’clock, a power reserve indicator of 120 hours is also shown. The classic 38mm case is another reminder of this being one of the watchmaker's earliest pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe movement\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-winding F.P. Journe caliber 1300 movement is made from rhodium-plated brass, save for the bi-directional rotor in 22k rose gold. This is a logical choice for many watchmakers, for a rotor with a high karat gold count has a significantly higher mass than other materials such as brass or stainless steel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt features Côtes de Genève embellishments, constructed with 32 jewels and a shock absorber mechanism. It also integrates a straight-line lever escapement, and monometallic 4-arm balance with 4 timing weights, adjusted to 5 positions. The movement is engraved \"Exclusive Power Reserve System\" and \"Precision Chronometer\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe development of the movement was a prolonged process, with the main task being refining the mainspring to a point where it gave consistent power to the gear train, for as large a proportion of its unwinding as possible. Together with a specialist spring maker, Journe finally settled on a design that was a metre long and 1mm thick. This caliber 1300 also integrates a power reserve of 120 hours, which was still the largest that had ever been put into a wristwatch at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe set\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis 38mm \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/all\/f-p-journe\" title=\"View our collection of F.

It features the grainy texture and shimmer which has come to be associated with the watchmaker's earliest piece, while at the same time offering the depth of a darker colour-tone, which is broadly absent from the F.P. Journe production. Ruthenium has a complex colour, which varies depending on the angle and intensity of the light. As a result, the dial can go anywhere from a dark, charcoal colour to a lighter, smoke grey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Octa Calendrier is an annual calendar, meaning that it \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eonly requires adjustment once a year, in February, as it accounts for the long and short months throughout the year. The different elements of the date are displayed in an innovative way, which speaks to the watchmaker's inventiveness. The date is displayed on an arc which extends around the circumference of the dial, with a blued hand pointing to the correct date. Meanwhile, the day and month are shown through two apertures on the left hand side, which feature a grey background and white text, seamlessly blending into the rest of the design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, the hours and minutes are displayed to the right side, in a silvery subdial, another feature which distinguishes this as one of the earliest pieces from F.P. Journe. The dial layout builds on the asymmetrical aesthetic first cement by the Octa Réserve de Marche, whilst taking this further still. The words \"Invenit et Fecit\" are inscribed between the two apertures, underneath the watchmakers name (Latin for ‘Invented and Made’ or more literally \"Designed and built by F.P. Journe\") in classic F.P.

It was also the first automatic mechanism designed by the brand, which would go on to power a range of different complicated watches. The Octa Réserve de Marche and the Octa Lune were the first two to be released, marking the manufacture's first steps into automatic pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo years after the movement was first developed, F.P. Journe introduced the Octa Lune, which was produced between 2003 and 2014, with less than 800 cases believed to have left the manufacture. For the first two years, the movements were made out of brass, before they transitioned to rose gold. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis change is understood to have occurred in 2004, once the brand was sufficiently developed to further their manufacturing processes and move away from brass. \u003c\/span\u003eThis particular example features a \"20X-L\" serial number on the caseback.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eA transitional example\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this introduction, all existing movements were issued with new caliber codes. In the case of the Octa Series, this caliber was referred to as 1300-2, indicating the second version of the movement. It’s believed that very few 1300-2 movements were made, during a short transitional period. Consequently, it makes these rarer than many of the first generation brass-movement pieces.

The dial design integrates a masterful use of asymmetry and empty space, achieving a layout that is both refined and legible. Though the dials of the Octa Lune series show very little alteration throughout the rose gold movement period, some earlier examples still retain the two-tone silvery sub-dial - a feature which is typically only found on Journe's earliest wristwatches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe words \"Phases de Lune\" are inscribed below the moonphase indicator, following the curvature of the aperture. This is mirrored by the words \"Invenit et Fecit\", which are found below the power reserve - Latin for \"Invented and Made\" or, more literally, \"Designed and built by F.P. Journe\" – a nod to signing conventions from a century ago. At nine o’clock, a power reserve indicator of 120 hours is also shown.

It was also the first automatic mechanism designed by the brand, which would go on to power a range of different complicated watches. The Octa Réserve de Marche and the Octa Lune were the first two to be released, marking the manufacture's first steps into automatic pieces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat Journe aspired to do was create a base calibre that could hold all kinds of complications, without gaining a fraction of a millimetre in thickness or width.

The Quantième Perpétuel is one of the first of a generation of central dials, distinguished by a polished steel ring securing the centre of the dial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSized at 40mm, this Quantième Perpétuel features a rounded bezel, thin lugs and the manufactures' oversized ‘flat crown’ with a rope-like pattern. The entire watch is polished and mirror finished, while the crown itself is engraved. All the calendar functions are adjusted using the crown, with exception to the months (and leap year), which are advanced using a corrector concealed underneath the 1 o’clock lug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism allows for simultaneous correction of the day and date in one direction, separating it from the isolated rotation of the day in the opposite direction, once the second position of the winding stem is engaged.
