Like many watchmaking brands, FP Journe has become renowned for particular kinds of watches. While this certainly isn't a bad thing, it does lead us to be somewhat surprised when they break the mould, just like when the F.P. Journe launched the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante. A sports watch in design, and at heart, the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante is, as its name suggests, a monopusher split-second chronograph fitted on a titanium bracelet and case that is powered by FP Journe's technically impressive manually-wound cal. 1518 movement made entirely of aluminium. Packing 80 hours of power reserve and a flyback function, the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante is perhaps one of the finest and best value high horology split-second chronographs on the market. As you would expect from a watchmaker like FP Journe, this timepiece pulls no punches regarding its construction, engineering prowess or unadulterated beauty. Measuring 44mm in diameter, the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante is certainly on the larger side, but with its titanium construction and integrated bracelet design it wears much smaller than one might expect. Offering F.P. Journe’s aesthetics through its dial and overarching design, the Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante offers F.P. Journe’s iconic design language within a technically astute package that shows F.P. Journe makes a lot more than just dress watches.

Watch is in like new condition, showing virtually no signs of wear. Bracelet was sized for previous owner, but the two links that were removed are included with the accessories.

Packing all of F.P. Journe's signature details within a sports watch, the Monopusher Chronograph retains everything that collectors love about the watchmaker's timepieces while still offering something new and interesting - an incredibly light and function-dense sports watch that fits in with the brand's aesthetic and design DNA.
