@smooth_bezel: F.P. Journe Élégante Titalyt An electro-mechanical calibre 1210 with 18 jewels and an absolutely ridiculous battery life: 8–10 years in daily use and up to 18 years in standby mode. The watch features a mechanical motion detector, visible on the dial at 4:30. When the Élégante remains motionless for 35 minutes, it enters standby mode to save energy and the hands stop moving. The microprocessor continues keeping time while the mechanical components—gears, rotor and hands—stop. Once you pick it up again, the hands automatically reset themselves to the current time, taking the shortest route, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. The 35 × 40mm case is made from Grade 5 titanium with Titalyt® treatment, a specialised surface treatment that hardens the titanium. And then there’s fully luminescent dial. So… is this the best “quartz” watch on the market right now? 🤔 Oh, and we can’t forget the absolutely ridiculous prices these command on the grey market 😅
