Before diving in the heart of its haute horology mysterious mechanical gear trains, one discovers first their face through their emblematic dials, made today in 18K Gold, with embossed mirror numbers integrated in the dial.
After careful preparation of the dial, including sanding for the base to be perfect, a specific F.P.Journe silver layer is applied. The numbers are then surfaced with a diamond tool making them appear like mirrors on the dial. The last operation is the print transfer for the time indications and the F.P.Journe logo which requires up to 5 successive layers for a perfect bombé shape.
Completed with the F.P.Journe drop shaped hands, the new Gold dial is dedicated to the Chronomètre Souverain, the Octa Réserve and the Octa Lune. These 3 watches are available in the 10 F.P.Journe Boutiques.
