100% CERTIFIED AUTHENTIC


WRIST AFICIONADO WARRANTY


The F.P.Journe Chronomètre Furtif is a masterclass in discreet complexity and material innovation, unveiled in 2025 as part of the brand’s continued exploration of modern horology. Housed in a 42mm case crafted from Tungsten carbide with tantalum elements —the watch features a stealthy, sculptural profile that contrasts beautifully with its minimalist dial presentation. Uniquely, the case is paired with a tungsten carbide crown, a technical and visual nod to durability and futuristic design.

At the heart of this timepiece is its anthracite grey Grand Feu enamel dial, which appears almost blank at first glance. In keeping with its “Furtif” (stealth) name, the time, power reserve, and moon phase indicators are only visible when the watch is viewed at certain angles—achieved through ingeniously etched and enamel-filled markings that blend into the dial’s polished surface under direct light. The movement, visible through the caseback, is a manual-winding caliber crafted in 18k rose gold, delivering superb chronometric precision. The Chronomètre Furtif is a poetic and highly technical creation—one that hides its complexity in plain sight, offering a unique reward to those who take the time to look more closely.

The F.P.Journe Chronomètre Furtif is a groundbreaking creation that merges stealth aesthetics with mechanical sophistication, marking a bold evolution in the brand’s contemporary design language. Crafted from ultra-hard tungsten carbide, the 42mm case offers a mirror-like finish with exceptional scratch resistance, contrasted by subtle tantalum elements for added visual and material depth. The design is deliberately understated, with clean, architectural lines that radiate quiet power.

The anthracite grey Grand Feu enamel dial is both technically and artistically impressive, achieved through a high-temperature firing process that yields a rich, smoky finish with luminous depth. Its “furtive” nature is revealed only when viewed head-on—Arabic numerals, power reserve indicator, and moonphase become legible only at the right angle due to a special treatment that makes them disappear from oblique views, reinforcing the concept of discretion and invisibility.

Inside, the new F.P.Journe caliber 1522 is crafted in rose gold and features a remontoir d’égalité constant-force mechanism for consistent energy delivery, ensuring unrivaled chronometric precision throughout its power reserve. The movement is visible through the sapphire caseback, showcasing Journe’s signature finishing, including hand-polished bevels, Geneva stripes, and exquisite anglage.

With an integrated bracelet also made of tungsten carbide and a seamless clasp, the Chronomètre Furtif is not just a feat of horological engineering but also a statement in avant-garde watchmaking. It’s a timepiece for those who appreciate mechanical poetry, cloaked in modern stealth.

Best purchase experience I could have imagined. Donald from Wrist Aficionado was very helpful and responsive whether by text, phone call or email. Shared videos with me and helped me get the watch I have been chasing for sometime. I have found my preferred watch dealer and will be a repeat customer. Payment processed same day and the watch ship later that day. A Very Happy Customer. Thank you everyone at the WA team!

Dealing with Vadim was a pleasure. The price was very fair and the communication and service was perfect. I buy a lot of watches and this experience was as good as they get. The audemars piguet arrived right on time and packaged beautifully. They even threw in a little gift!
