Powering the F.P.Journe Chronographe Rattrapante is caliber 1518, a manual winding movement comprised of 285 individual components. . The caliber takes advantage of a pinion-activated chronograph construction, deemed more efficient than a more traditional horizontally coupled mechanism. . The oscillating pinion eliminates the general ‘stutter’ of a chronograph hand when activated, and results in a more compact construction. . The split-second chronograph is a highly complex and power-consuming complication, yet François-Paul Journe managed to create a distinctive manual movement that provides 80 hours of chronometric performance, allowing the wearer to use the chronograph well after two days since fully winding the watch. . Of the various chronograph complications, the rattrapante is highly coveted by collectors and aficionados for its design and appreciated complexity. . As part of the lightweight Titanium lineSport, the caliber’s bridges are made of an Aluminum alloy. The movement weighs a mere 81 g. . #fpjourne #fpjourneofficial #linesport #chronograph #chronographerattrapante #splitsecond #rattrapante #horology #watches #watchmaking
