Chaumet

Original used watch. The iconic FPJourne design by Chaumet. The case is in perfect condition, one of several hundred pieces produced. First sale around 1990 Jumping Hour complication – i.e. a jumping time display. Reference number 10A The appearance and attractiveness of a given model certainly result from its similarity to Cartier works such as Pebble and Guichets. These two are among the most desirable in the Cartier catalog, so considering that the 10A has a comparable case shape and size, is also made of precious metals, has a mechanical movement and comes from an established French jeweler, these are viable comparisons. In the book of the FP Journe brand bible ‘FP Journe Invenit et Fecit’ by Jean-Pierre Grosz there is confirmed information that Chaumet ordered this watch from FPJourne. Case diameter 36 mm (37 mm with crown), height 7 mm, lug 2 lug 37 mm. The case is made of yellow 18-carat gold, the dial is white with painted Arabic numerals. The watch is equipped with an automatic winding mechanism, caliber ETA 2892-2, modified for the Jumping Hour function, has 21 jewels and a power reserve of 42 hours. The watch has a new strap made of alligator leather and a gold-plated buckle clasp
