Overview

Titanium case, aluminium movement

The F.P. Journe Centigraphe Sport, reference CTS, in titanium on the titanium bracelet, both with rubber inserts, with the aluminium alloy and sapphire dial and luminescent indexes and numbers. 42 mm and 11.6 mm high, hand-wound calibre 1506 in aluminium alloy, timing to a hundredth of a second.

The Centigraphe Sport in titanium pairs a titanium case with calibre 1506 made in aluminium alloy, and F.P. Journe presents it above all for its lightness. It was produced between 2014 and 2018 as part of the lineSport collection. The case is 42 mm and 11.6 mm high with rubber inserts, on the titanium bracelet or without it. Like the Centigraphe Souverain, it carries the brand's commitment to give 30% of the profits from each sale to the ICM in Paris, whose research covers Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis.

Calibre 1506 is hand-wound and times from a hundredth of a second to 10 minutes. The hundredth hand, released by a wheel on the escape wheel, turns once a second and can be stopped between two divisions for a fractional reading; the 20-second counter is at 2 o'clock and the 10-minute counter at 6. The chronograph trains draw directly on the mainspring rather than on the timekeeping train, which the brand says keeps the balance amplitude unaffected while the chronograph runs.

For collectors

Two figures describe what the chronograph costs: 80 ± 2 hours of reserve with it stopped, 24 ± 2 hours with it running. The chronograph draws on the mainspring directly, which shortens the reserve when it runs but, by the brand's patented arrangement, leaves the balance amplitude alone.

Design and engineering

  • Rocker controlStart, stop and zero by a rocker in the case band at 2 o'clock, instead of buttons either side of the crown. Patented.
  • Isolated chronographTwo trains from the centre of the mainspring drive the hundredth and 20-second hands, a separate train from the barrel arbor the 10-minute hand. A second patent covers the arrangement.
  • Return to zeroHammers on snail cams zero the 20-second and 10-minute arbors; a beak on the hundredth hand's pinion stops it at zero and blocks the chronograph train.
  • Maintaining powerThe barrel keeps driving the movement while it is being wound.
  • Case and dialTitanium, 42 mm and 11.6 mm high, with rubber inserts. Dial in aluminium alloy and sapphire with luminescent indexes and numbers; luminescent steel hands and red lacquered titanium hands.
