Journe has raised the bar for chronographs with the Centigraphe Souverain. This remarkable chronograph measures time intervals down to 1/100th of a second, hence the name Centigraphe. What€™s most remarkable to me, personally, is how this chronograph re-distributes our concept of time per the indicators on its dial. If you are a chronograph fan like I am, you are accustomed to chronographs having totalizer subdials that measure time intervals in one subdial up to 30 minutes and in another subdial up to 12 hours. Now, along comes the Centigraphe, and we (joyously) have to adjust to watching time elapse in a different manner. First of all, this chronograph makes use of the foudroyante display in the upper left subdial, which is the 1/100th of a second subdial. Foudroyante means that the hand spins rapidly and continuously, and makes one rotation of its subdial each second. When the chronograph is stopped, the wearer can read the time in this indicator with its 1/100th of a second scale. The subdial in the upper right part of the dial measures time in a 20 second interval, meaning its hand makes one full rotation every 20 seconds. The subdial at the bottom of the dial totalizes the elapsed time from when the chronograph is started up to 10 minutes. Unlike other chronographs, all three chronograph hands are in constant motion€ and, incredibly, watching this system will change your perception of time. 100% Authentic in Mint condition condition, papers are dated 2009.
