F.P. Journe – La Taille Historique

Francois-Paul Journe has decided to stop the production of the 38mm case. It was not without pain that he took this decision but it goes in the direction of today’s demand for bigger watches.

In order to celebrate this case and all it represented, Montres Journe will launch a unique collection: Five watches enclosed in a precious box. All of them has a 38mm case, for the first time, made of steel, A silver or gold dial and an 18k gold movement.
