Description
Since its introduction, the FXR-4 Chronograph has embodied Jean-Marc Fleury’s uncompromising approach to mechanical watchmaking — a vision forged through more than two decades of experience, including over 10 years at Patek Philippe and another decade within renowned Manufactures.
In 2017, he founded his own independent Manufacture in Geneva, dedicated to crafting parts of caliber for some of the most respected names in independent Haute Horlogerie. Naturally, this journey led him to the next chapter, in 2024 Jean-Marc Fleury unveiled his first timepieces under his own signature.
Today, Jean-Marc Fleury enriches the FXR-4 Chronograph with a new expression: the FXR-4 Openwork :
This new interpretation of the in-house integrated chronograph places the caliber at the very heart of the experience. A sapphire dial reveals the 279 components in unprecedented depth, while carefully opened bridges and sculpted components allow light to penetrate the movement, offering a direct reading of its architecture, its energy, and its rhythm, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour.
The manual-winding NAC coated FM04 calibre has been entirely developed and manufactured in-house. Its openworked architecture enhances the dialogue between function and form, revealing the choreography of levers, wheels, and the column-wheel chronograph with horizontal clutch in motion — a tribute to the legendary Lemania 2310 that inspired its conception.
Each chamfer, satin-brushed, mirror-polished or Côtes de Genève plane is executed by hand, in strict respect of classical horological codes.
Housed in a 40mm Titanium case, the Openworked sapphire dial is conceived with a minimalist approach providing only essential information: hours, minutes and chronograph’ s central seconds displayed on the external ring, running seconds and chronograph’s 30 minutes are displayed respectively on the left and right ring. The date and day/night indicator on the bottom counter, set by the push-button at 8 o’clock.
