The F.P. Journe Élégante 48 “Gino’s Dream” in Titalyt is a striking limited edition that merges haute horlogerie with bold color expression. The 48 × 40 mm Flat Tortue case is micro-blasted Titalyt, giving it a matte, technical finish that contrasts beautifully with its bezel—set with 52 individually selected baguette glass “rainbow” pieces arranged in a graduated spectrum. The luminescent black dial glows softly after dark, adding a layer of ethereal presence beneath the colorful bezel ring.
Beneath the aesthetic flourish lies Journe’s trademark ingenuity: the Calibre 1210 electromechanical movement. When stationary for 35 minutes, it enters a standby mode to preserve power, and upon movement it resets the hands to the correct time via the shortest path. In regular use, it delivers about 8–10 years of autonomy; in standby mode, up to 18 years. This “Gino’s Dream” edition is deeply personal and rarely issued—resonating with collectors who value emotional storytelling paired with technical sophistication and design audacity.
*This timepiece comes with a choice of either an orange strap or grey strap.
