Specialist note

Accompanied by an F.P. Journe Certificate and Warranty dated July 11th, 2003 confirming the watch is number 76 in a limited edition of 99 examples. Further accompanied by a loupe, watch tool, F.P. Journe polishing cloth, F.P. Journe presentation box, and outer packaging.

The Chronomètre A Résonance model was launched in 2000, the only wristwatch in the world based on resonance, a natural physical phenomenon. The two balances are synchronized by means of the resonance effect and naturally beat alternately. The negative effects of wrist and body movements are hence considerably reduced.
