Notes

The Vagabondage II stands apart even within F.P. Journe's highly individual body of work. Its flat tortue-shaped case abandons the familiar round architecture of the Souverain and Octa families, while the display replaces conventional hands with jumping hours and digital minutes. Powered by the manually wound calibre 1509, the watch turns the passing of time into a sequence of mechanical indications rather than a traditional circular reading.

The 18K pink gold case adds warmth to an otherwise highly technical and almost futuristic composition, its broad polished surfaces framing a display that remains instantly recognisable as Journe. Limited to only 68 examples in pink gold, the Vagabondage II belongs to a small and highly distinctive family within the manufacture's production. It is a watch of contrasts: precious yet unconventional, mechanically complex yet visually spare, and shaped less like a traditional wristwatch than a small horological object conceived around the movement of numbers across the dial.

The Vagabondage family also occupies an unusual position in Journe's catalogue because its form and display sit deliberately outside the established visual codes of the round Souverain and Octa collections. The shaped case follows the geometry of the movement rather than imposing a conventional dial architecture upon it. Hours and minutes therefore appear as mechanical events, advancing in discrete steps and giving the wearer a more direct perception of the passage of time. In pink gold, that experimental display is tempered by the warmth of the case, producing a watch that feels at once technical, precious and deeply individual.

The watch is accompanied by original fitted box and certificate. It is fitted to leather with an 18k pink gold FP Journe deployant clasp.
