VAGABONDAGE "Vagabongage" is the name chosen by F. P. Journe, and suggested by the French collector Jean Aube, to express the wandering of the revolving frame, which captures the hour and keeps it, while continuing its journey around the dial, to indicate the minutes. Each watch is engraved with the words "pièce unique" and represents a decade of Antiquorum’s history. The Vagabondage watch, with its elegant "tonneau"-shaped case in three colors of gold, marks a departure for François-Paul Journe from his classic round style and cases of platinum. In addition to these three unique examples, a series of 66 watches in platinum will be available through F.P. Journe retailers, two pieces only being delivered to each boutique around the world.
