Journe unveiled his first collection at the Basel Fair in 1999, adopting the spirit of "Invenit et Fecit" Latin for "invented and made". The Tourbillon Souverain was the first watch Journe ever created himself. This novel timepiece offered the exclusive combination of a wristwatch with tourbillon and constant-force device. Despite the model's immediate success, Journe decided to cease production in 2003 in order to maintain exclusivity and develop his own creativity.
Thus, the Tourbillon Souverain à seconde morte was born. A more sophisticated version of its predecessor, it includes a deadbeat second’s device. In 2004, the Tourbillon Souverain à seconde morte was awarded the esteemed 'Aiguilled'or' from the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix.
A staple piece, this watch is in attractive condition with signs of wear consistent with its age and comes with its original warranty card, product literature, polishing cloth and presentation case with outer packaging.
