F.P.Journe Élégante 48 Ref. ELHT 'Gino's Dream' Titalyt Luminescent Black Dial Rainbow Bezel (2025)

The F.P.Journe Élégante 48 “Gino’s Dream” Ref. ELHT is a rare, expressive fusion of technical ingenuity and high-jewelry art. Its elongated Tortue®-shaped Titalyt case measures 48 × 40 mm and maintains a slim profile (~8 mm), prioritizing both comfort and bold wrist presence. The case is paired with a rubber strap that balances the avant-garde aesthetic with everyday usability. The fixed bezel is set with a vivid rainbow array of baguette-cut sapphires, infusing luminosity and color into the watch’s distinct silhouette.

At center stage is the fully luminescent black dial, engineered to glow in full darkness—numerals, hands, and markers all radiate via electroluminescent treatment. The name “Gino’s Dream” nods to a special customization by Gino, the famed horology artist, whose vision elevates this model into a collector’s piece. The dial remains uncluttered, emphasizing light, legibility, and the mesmerizing glow of its components against the black backdrop.

This version of the Élégante houses the hybrid electro-mechanical Calibre 1210, built specifically for this line. The movement intelligently enters “standby” mode after 35 minutes of inactivity—halting the hands while the internal clock continues to run. Once motion is detected, the hands instantly reposition to accurate time. The design maximizes performance and energy efficiency, allowing extended longevity. With the rainbow bezel, Titalyt architecture, and Journe’s signature technical flair, the Élégante 48 “Gino’s Dream” remains a vivid statement piece—where engineering, art, and emotion intersect.
