This F.P. Journe Élégante 48 is crafted in a 48mm titanium case and styled on a dark blue rubber strap. Despite what may seem like an intimidating size, the flat tortue case design is only 7.95mm thick and easily slips under a cuff with casual esteem. The circular whitened center of the dial is framed in an outer steel that complements the tone of the bezel. 

What is particularly special about this reference is the standby mode, which continues keeping time even if the hands have stopped to reserve power. When the piece once again begins movement, the hours, minutes, and small seconds will set themselves to the appropriate time. An exhibition case back provides a look inside the beautiful Calibre 1210’s intricate movements within.
