The FP Journe 1300.2 is the movement in the Chronometre Souverain, featuring a remontoire d'egalite that rewinds a small intermediate spring every ten seconds to deliver constant torque to the escapement. This is Journe's answer to mainspring torque variation across the power reserve and is considered one of the most technically significant implementations of the remontoire in a wristwatch. All Journe movements use a brass base plate and 18k rose gold bridges.
