Farewell to the emblematic Sonnerie Souveraine
Anticipating the presentation of a new grand complication in 2019, the emblematic Sonnerie Souveraine F.P.Journe will no longer be in the catalogue as from December 31, 2018.

Clients are invited to place their order during the year 2018 to acquire this already rare and unique watch that will thus become a collector’s timepiece. The F.P.Journe Manufacture will of course honor all orders placed by its clients.

The grand strike wristwatch with minute repeater is the most complex horological achievement providing unfailing strikes 35,040 times a year. The F.P.Journe Sonnerie Souveraine is the only striking watch providing a total safety of use.

No reference number is used, each Sonnerie Souveraine is baptized with its owner’s name. When he gives his name to his watch, he also give it a raison d’être, an identity and a personality forever. The sense of hearing brings a new sensation and a new relationship with time allowing the watch to entertain a monologue with its owner.
