TOURBILLON SOUVERAIN

A NEW TOURBILLON SOUVERAIN TO CELEBRATE THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE TOURBILLON SOUVERAIN

THE INNOVATIVE AND REVOLUTIONARY HOROLOGICAL CREATOR FRANÇOIS-PAUL JOURNE HAS INSPIRED A GENERATION OF CONTEMPORARY WATCHMAKERS WITH THE ORIGINALITY OF HIS CREATIONS, HIS QUEST FOR PRECISION, HIS TIMELESS AND IMMEDIATELY RECOGNISABLE STYLE, AND HIS RESPECT FOR HOROLOGICAL ETHICS AND TRADITIONS.

FASCINATED BY THE TOURBILLON SINCE HIS YOUTH, FRANÇOIS-PAUL JOURNE BEGAN TO MAKE HIS FIRST WATCH WHEN HE WAS 20 – ENTIRELY BY HAND. IT WAS A TOURBILLON POCKET WATCH. IN 1991, HE CREATED HIS FIRST TOURBILLON WRISTWATCH, SELLING THE VERY SMALL NUMBER OF EXAMPLES TO A HANDFUL OF KNOWLEDGEABLE COLLECTORS. IN 1999, HE LAUNCHED THE FIRST TOURBILLON SOUVERAIN WITH REMONTOIR D’ÉGALITÉ IN WRISTWATCH FORM. IT WAS SOLD BY SUBSCRIPTION AND WAS MUCH SOUGHTAFTER BY COLLECTORS WHO RIVAL WITH EACH OTHER TO GET ON THE SHORT LIST OF 20 EXAMPLES.
