F. P. Journe RM Repetition Souveraine Minute Repeater SS Silver Dial

The F.P. Journe Repetition Souveraine Ref. RM is a masterclass in ultra‑thin minute repeater engineering, housed in a 40 mm stainless steel case just 8.5 mm thick. Introduced in 2008, it remains one of the slimmest and lightest repeater wristwatches ever produced, weighing approximately 69.6 g including strap. Its manually wound calibre 1408 is crafted with 18 k rose gold bridges and mainplate, twin parallel barrels delivering a 56‑hour power reserve, and a free‑sprung Anachron balance with four inertia weights beating at 21,600 vph. The dial features a refined silver Clous‑de‑Paris guilloché center, moiré‑finished small seconds at 7:30 and fan‑shaped power reserve at 3 o’clock, with a subtle aperture revealing the striking hammers between 9 and 10. The minute repeater mechanism is patented, employing flat gongs mounted under the dial and an innovative compact striking rack system for clear, resonant chimes with minimal thickness. This exceptional timepiece exemplifies F.P. Journe’s technical ingenuity and aesthetic restraint, making it a highly coveted piece among connoisseurs of independent high horology. Like New with F.P.
