Notes
The Havana dial colour is unique to F.P. JOURNE, a result of the company’s well-tended independence, which ensures its creative freedom. It was developed by F.P. JOURNE’s own dial makers, LES CADR ANIERS DE GENÈVE, in a process lasting several months. In essence, it is a combination of gold and ruthenium, to make a unique beautiful colour, but to get the colour just right required many adjustments to the formula.
