ABOUT THIS WATCH

• From one of Switzerland’s most revered independent watchmakers, the Zodiaque is a poetic reference from the brand’s core Octa line 
• Launched in 2004, it's one of just 150 pieces
• The 40mm case is classically-styled and crafted from platinum, bringing an undeniable sense of heft and luxury 
• The silver and slate grey dial is typical of F.P. Journe's restrained but instantly identifiable design and showcases a distinct outer chapter for the month, along with the corresponding Zodiac sign
• The calendar disk around the perimeter moves around the outer circle daily, accurately indicating both the month and Zodiac sign at the 12 o’clock position
• The day of the month is located on an outsized off-centre aperture
• ​Turning the watch over, a sapphire case back displays the in-house caliber 1300.1 movement
• Interestingly, this movement is crafted from rhodium-plated brass and pre-dates the introduction of F.P. Journe's contemporary calibres made from 18K gold
• The movement is expertly hand-finished and adorned with Côtes de Genève with a 22K gold guilloche winding rotor at centre
