F.P. Journe Centigraphe Ref. CTS2/CT2 Linesport Platinum Blue Dial (2026)

Platinum and a hundredth-of-a-second chronograph is an odd combination on paper, which is roughly the point. Journe put the Centigraphe in solid platinum with a matching bracelet in 2019, frosted throughout, and gave it a guilloché silver dial in a blue that turns mauve as the light moves. It is the heaviest and least practical execution of a collection that began in aluminum, and the most interesting to look at. That dial exists only on the platinum pieces.

The platinum case and integrated bracelet run to 44 mm with a ceramic bezel insert, worked to a granular finish that keeps the metal from flashing. Applied numerals in matte white gold sit on the blue-mauve ground, and the counters are whitened guilloché silver. The rocker replaces pushers here as everywhere in the LineSport, leaving the flanks of a platinum case uninterrupted, which is a large part of why the shape works.
