8 years of research were necessary for F.P. Journe to develop this innovative electro-mechanical concept. The calibre 1210 provides a greatcomfort of use and the performances of an electro-mechanical watch combining reliability and precision. The élégante features the only elec-tromechanical movement conceived and created for the luxury market and offering a true vision of luxury.

Adapted to modern life rhythm, the faithful élégante F.P. Journe goes in stand-by mode after 30 minutes motionless, the mechanical motiondetector visible at 4h30 is at rest. During this standby mode, the micro processor continues to keep time, while the mechanical parts, gears,rotors and hands stop turning. Thus the energy saved provides a very long autonomy from 8 to 10 years in daily use, while up to 18 years instandby mode. When moved, the élégante sets itself automatically to the current time, taking the shortest path - either clockwise or counter clockwise.
