An Élégante Titalyt 48, featuring a 7.95mm thin ‘Tortue’ grade 5 titanium case with Titalyt treatment and one of the most innovative quartz calibres ever devised. FP Journe’s calibre 1210 took eight years of development and includes a sleep function, where after 35 minutes of motionlessness, the hands will stop. The opening on the dial is for a small gold oscillating mass, a mechanical element which ‘wakes up’ its calibre upon picking it back up. The entire dial is luminous, with lacquered numerals and blued steel hands. The case is grade 5 titanium with Titalyt treatment, increasing wear and corrosion resistance and resulting in a matte grey tone. In FP Journe’s own words, this was intended to be the world’s first true luxury quartz watch. FP Journe refused to simply hide a quartz movement away, but instead sought to create one worth displaying proudly.
