Watch Paparazzi

Tennis player Donna Vekić spotted wearing F.P. Journe

Croatian tennis player, Donna Vekić, recently made headlines for sporting a rather unique watch during one of her matches - an F.P. Journe Élégante in titanium and diamonds. But what sets this timepiece apart from your standard quartz watch?

Thanks to a convenient motion sensor, visible from the opening between 4 and 5 o’clock, the Élégante is capable of stopping its mechanical components when not in use. This innovative feature, known as a "circuit breaker", allows a microprocessor to keep track of the correct time even when the watch is not in use. When Vekić picks up her racket again, the hands immediately go back to indicating the correct time, taking the shortest way possible.

But that's not all - did you know that the entire dial of this watch glows in the dark? This feature ensures that Vekić can easily check the time no matter what lighting conditions she is playing in.

Overall, this unique timepiece offers both form and function. With its stunning titanium and diamond design, as well as its innovative motion sensor technology, the F.P. Journe Élégante is truly a marvel of modern watchmaking. While the list price of €13,800 may seem steep, it's no surprise that such a stunning and innovative timepiece comes with a hefty price tag.
