"Invenit et Fecit."

This Latin motto, roughly translated to "He invented and made it," graces the dial of every timepiece that leaves the workshops of celebrated watchmaker F.P. Journe. Beautifully fashioned and immediately recognizable, an F.P. Journe is a piece of horological art, a statement piece that telegraphs its owner's deep appreciation for the finest in mechanical watchmaking.

Debuting in 1999, the Tourbillon Souverain was one of Journe's earliest collections under his eponymous brand. Its secret was the remontoir d’égaltié, a device that delivers consistent torque to the movement's oscillator as the power reserve decreases, maintaining chronometric accuracy throughout the day. Visible via a small aperture on the dial at 6 o'clock, this device takes pride of place on the Tourbillon Souverain — even with the prominent tourbillon spinning away at 3 o'clock. 25 years after its debut, this collection remains a cornerstone of the Journe oeuvre.

This ad is custom framed in a 13” x 15 5/8” made of solid wood with black painted finish. It features a custom-measured, hand-cut 4-ply border in a shade of white, complimenting all the ad tones. Every material used is acid-free and the glass is anti-reflective and offers UV-protection to keep this precious ad preserved no matter where you decide to hang it up. Speaking of which, hanging your newly purchased ad is a seamless task, as this particular frame comes with an additional hanging wire and felt pads for wall protection.

Occupying a place at the very apex of high-end independent Swiss watchmaking, F.P. Journe products some of the finest timepieces in the world. Whether you're a Journe collector or simply a fan, don't miss the opportunity to hang this special advertisement to horological excellent in your home or office. It's sure to inspire greatness!
