This rare and highly sought after F.P. Journe Octa Lune is one of the early examples of a Journe watch made between 2001 and 2004 featuring a rhodium plated brass movement. From 2004 onwards, F.P. Journe’s movements were made from 18k solid gold, a practice that has continued to the present day. As collectors focus more and more upon the genius of F.P. Journe’s timepieces, it has been recognized that watches with the early brass movements, such as the present Octa Lune, are important milestones in the brand’s history, consequently they have become highly prized rarities by serious collectors.
The Octa Lune model won one of the most prestigious awards in the watch industry, the ‘Favourite Men’s Watch’ award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2003. The name ‘Octa’ was given as a prefix to all F.P. Journe’s automatic watches because in Latin it means ‘eight’ and the figure ‘8’ on its side signifies the concept of limitlessness or infinity.
Becoming harder to find as collectors actively pursue examples of F.P. Journe’s early production, the present Octa Lune would be a prize for any collection of modern horological masterpieces.
