F.P. Journe Watches – The Sonnerie Souveraine Watch $560,000

F.P. Journe Watches presents the exceptionally unique Sonnerie Souveraine Grand-Strike Clock watch and Minute Repeater wrist watch priced at an expensive $560,000. This fine luxury watch is unmatched in terms of its looks and watch collectors - please note that only four of this watch is made for sale each year.

The F.P. Journe watches’ Sonnerie Souveraine is not just a grand sonnerie – it is a “grand et petite” sonnerie with a minute repeater. For those who don’t know, a sonnerie is a clock watch that strikes the hour and the quarters just like your traditional grandfather clock. The F.P. Journe watches’ grand and petit sonnerie will let you hear the sharp strike of each quarter hour as well as the full hour. For example, if the time is 5.45 you would hear five strikes for the hour five and three strikes for the three quarters. Sadly, watch collecting fans that are impressed with this collectible watch must wait not less than three years. Fair enough - considering that it took six years to develop this designer watch, involving ten patents.

What makes the F.P. Journe watches’ collectable Sonnerie Souveraine especially outstanding is the fact that is manages to integrate highly complex features within the wrist watches’ limited energy with absolutely no compromise in terms of quality of sound and dependability. What is interesting with these wrist watches is, in spite of their value, they only come with steel cases. According to Journe, steel conducts and transmits sound far better than gold or platinum and that is the reason why the Sonnerie Souvernaire is housed only in steel.
The F.P. Journe watches’ Sonnerie Souvernaire does not come with a serial number, in spite of being a limited edition. This fabulous watch brand takes the custom even further - when you place your order, you will have your name custom engraved on both the movement and the case. This cool watch is a forty jewel watch that houses a Calibre 1505 and is manually wound. There are more than four hundred pieces in the watch. The movement measures 35mm x 7.8mm. The watch has a power reserve with an indicator, of 120 hours without the chime, 48 hours with the grand strike and 24 hours of autonomy after the strike runs down. The case with the watch face within measures 42 mm x 12.25 mm.

F.P. Journe has given the world a horological marvel that is one of its best wrist watches that is unlikely to ever go out of fashion and can be worn with any dress code.
