Overview
The Calendrier in the Ruthenium series
The F.P. Journe Octa Calendrier, reference Q, from the limited Ruthenium series, in platinum on a leather strap with the ruthenium on gold and whitened guilloché silver dial. 40 mm and 10.6 mm high, self-winding on the Octa calibre 1300, with a retrograde central date and the month and day in windows.
The Ruthenium Octa Calendrier was produced between 2003 and 2005 as a limited series numbered 1 to 99, in a 40 mm platinum case with a dial of ruthenium on gold and whitened guilloché silver. It is built on the self-winding Octa calibre 1300.
The date is shown by a central retrograde hand, which travels across its arc through the month and flies back to the start when the month ends; the change is instantaneous. Month and day appear in windows, the hours and minutes are off-centre, and the small seconds sit at 4:30. The movement winds in both directions through an off-centre rotor, and its slipping mainspring releases at full wind rather than being overstrained.
For collectors
F.P. Journe specifies a reserve of 160 ± 12 hours and gives the amplitude as 280° dial-up at full wind and 220° at 120 hours.
