Overview
Digital hours and minutes
The F.P. Journe Vagabondage II, reference VII, in platinum set with 56 baguette diamonds (about 6.55 carats), the Flat Tortue case 45.2 × 37.5 mm and 8 mm high, with the smoked sapphire dial and white gold apertures, on a platinum folding clasp set with 18 baguette diamonds. Manually wound calibre 1509.
Vagabondage II was produced between 2010 and 2011 in 69 pieces in platinum and 68 in 18K 6N gold, with 10 platinum pieces set with baguette diamonds made on request from 2011 to 2018. F.P. Journe describes the line as anti-marketing: after three unsigned pieces for the Antiquorum charity auction of 2004 sold for three times their value, the first platinum series of 69 was sold with no promotion, publicity or pictures. Owners of a Vagabondage I were given priority to buy the same number in Vagabondage II.
The second edition keeps the Flat Tortue case and, like the first, leaves the dial unsigned; it changes the display: hours and minutes now jump in separate apertures in a steel dial bridge, with small seconds at 6 and the power reserve at 12 read by hands. The dial is smoked sapphire, and the hand-wound 18K rose gold calibre 1509 shows through it. The platinum pieces have white gold apertures with blue hands; the 6N gold pieces have gold apertures and hands.
For collectors
Vagabondage I owners were offered the same number in the Vagabondage II series, so matching-number pairs exist by design.
