Overview

One calibre, three metals

The F.P. Journe Chronographe Rattrapante, reference CMS, in titanium on the titanium bracelet, both with rubber inserts, with the slate grey aluminium alloy dial, luminescent numerals and sapphire counters. 44 mm and 12.1 mm high, hand-wound split-seconds calibre 1518 in aluminium alloy, with a very large date.

This version of the Chronographe Rattrapante has rubber inserts on case and bracelet; F.P. Journe gives its production as between 2018 and 2020. The movement is calibre 1518 in aluminium alloy. The ceramic-inlaid tachymeter bezel and the typography of the numerals recall the brand's Only Watch 2017 chronograph, which inspired the movement.

The chronograph is driven by direct gearing through a rocking pinion, which the brand uses to keep the hand from jumping at the start. The pusher at 2 o'clock starts, stops and resets; the one at 4 o'clock works the rattrapante. F.P. Journe describes fitting the very large date, read in a 5.20 × 2.80 mm window, into a total movement height of 6.80 mm as a substantial development. The reserve is 80 ± 2 hours without the chronograph, which the brand says leaves the chronograph and rattrapante usable after two days.

Design and engineering

  • Rocking pinionDirect gearing to the chronograph through a rocking pinion, so that the hand does not jump when the chronograph starts.
  • Two pushers2 o'clock for start, stop and return to zero; 4 o'clock for the split seconds. The pushers are in the metal of the case.
  • Very large dateA 5.20 × 2.80 mm window, corrected in crown position 2; position 1 winds and position 3 sets the time.
  • Rubber insertsFixed to the case and the bracelet links, in the brand's comparison like the bumpers of old cars, to protect the metal from rubbing on smooth surfaces. The folding clasp adjusts by about 5 mm.
  • DialSlate grey aluminium alloy with luminescent numerals and counters in sapphire.
