The F.P. Journe Élégante 48 Ref. ELHT reinterprets elegance through avant-garde design and cutting-edge technology. Its slender 48 × 40 mm Titalyt® “Flat Tortue” case, just 7.95 mm thick, delivers lightweight comfort balanced with architectural presence. Inside, the hypnotic black luminescent dial glows vividly in dim light, framed by steel-screwed outer elements and highlighted with slender blued-steel hands—a modern expression of haute horlogerie minimalism.
Powered by the revolutionary electromechanical Calibre 1210, the Élégante offers up to eight years of daily autonomy—or up to 18 years on standby thanks to its motion-sensing mechanism that pauses the movement after inactivity, then resets the hands automatically upon motion detection. Completed with a burgundy rubber strap, this reference combines technical ingenuity with urban understatement.
