F.P. Journe is known for putting his own spin on prestigious complications, and this LineSport Rattrapante's split seconds chronograph showcases the best of it. Bid now >> bit.ly/4benL1J The complication is highly technical due to its ability to simultaneously time two separate objects or events by splitting the chronograph seconds hand upon demand. When Journe chose to tackle this challenge, he subverted expectations by presenting the finished watch in a sporty case with an integrated bracelet, unlike the majority of dress-oriented rattrapante wristwatches. Another twist? The dial is treated with ruthenium.
