Octa Lune Platine

LESS IS MORE : A NEW CALIBRE AND TWO NEW OCTA MODELS
Each infinitesimal movement is exploited for optimized winding A constant search for functionality brings the new Octa 1300-3 caliber. In his approach as an innovative and creative watchmaker, François Paul Journe does not hesitate in constantly improving his creations. This is the case with the conception of this new caliber which offers an automatic winding system in adequacy with the less mobile users.

In 2001, when the creative watchmaker presented the Octa line - a collection of mechanical wristwatch chronometers with automatic winding systems offering more than 5 days of power reserve (over 120 hours), all of which have the same case thickness regardless of the complication – the success is immediate! The Octa collection satisfies a clientele looking for authentic, rare and innovative horology in an “easy to wear” mechanical wristwatch. The Octa collection declines into a variety of complications such as a chronograph, an annual calendar or a moon phases, thus satisfying a variety of clients needs.
