There are many beautiful gem-set watches for women out there. But finding those gem-set watches that are also works of true mechanical art a quite a bit tougher to find. For women who appreciate timepieces which combine both worlds, the F.P. Journe Octa Divine watch will be greatly cherished.
Like all F.P. Journe watches, the Octa Divine features a superb mechanical movement whose plates are made from solid gold—a very unusual and exclusive feature (most watch movements are built from brass which is plated with rhodium). Equipped with a power reserve indicator, a grande date function, and a moonphase display, the exclusive movement bears a lot of the design genius that has made Francois-Paul Journe a household name amongst watch connoisseurs.
At the same time, the sparkling round brilliant diamonds set on the bezel, lugs, and the pave diamond dial are absolutely radiant—they are spectacular, yet highlight the classic design of the watch in a very tasteful manner. The house of F.P. Journe does not compromise in regards to materials for the case—rather than taking the somewhat easier (and less costly) path of white gold, the Octa Devine watch is crafted from 950 platinum.Â
