The Octa Lune model won one of the most prestigious awards in the watch industry, the ‘Favourite Men’s Watch’ award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2003. The name ‘Octa’ was given as a prefix to all F.P. Journe’s automatic watches because in Latin it means ‘eight’ and the figure ‘8’ on its side signifies the concept of limitlessness or infinity.
