What a beauty!

Nicolas, What a stunning beauty! This gorgeous dial with the Breguet numerals, the leaf hands and the subdials which do not cut into the numbers (in contrast to many other examples). And all packed in white gold with the perfect diameter of 37mm. Congratu...

Beautiful chronograph. I think the movement is from La Joux-Perret and not THA. Both movements are very close but still different. Best, Goldenlutin
No, La Joux-Perret 5000 :)

Please look at the pictures. First we have the UN and the B&M. Both have the same La Joux-Perret 5000 caliber. Both to be compared with the Tortue from Cartier, which uses the THA movement. Look at the levers, they do have different shapes, etc. But b...

In an interview with the Purists () that "After I quit the St Croix company, I continued to develop creative mechanism like Grande Sonnerie and a new monopusher Chrono for Ulysse Nardin" There you have it - the word directly from Journe in 2003. The THA i...

After THA, Journe apparently worked with/for Jaquet SA, witch later was renamed La Joux-Perret. But the movement has always been produced and sold by Jaquet/La Joux-Perret, also to UN. You can ask UN. Best, Goldenlutin
Here is what Journe said, in 2003.

According to the Journe Sep 2003 interview this movement was designed by him: "FPJ: ...After I quit the St Croix company, I continued to develop creative mechanism like Grande Sonnerie and a new monopusher Chrono for Ulysse Nardin..." " TP: Wasn't the Uly...
Yes, this is it! This was the interview I was thinking of

And indeed explains how Jaquet got the movement. Journe himself says it - he made the movement and later gave them the rights. I bet Journe never imagined in his wildest dreams that a movement of his work would end up in a Baume et Mercier watch almost 12...

175th anniversary
By: wover : April 8th, 2015-10:40
If it's from 1998 or there abouts, then which "175th anniversary" are we talking about? Also, it appears to be a doctor's watch, with chronograph functions. But that's not too important:)
Your friend has exquisite taste......
