The present watch is the Jean‑Marc Fleury FXR‑4 Chronograph in stainless steel with a copper‑toned dial, a new and expressive interpretation of Fleury Manufacture’s contemporary chronograph. Inspired by the iconic Just Joey rose—awarded World’s Favourite Rose in 1994—this dial captures the richness of apricot‑copper hues and the depth of its character, balancing vibrancy with refinement. The result is a warmer, more emotive expression of the FXR‑4, while remaining faithful to its architectural clarity and mechanical discipline.

The 40 mm stainless‑steel case, measuring 12.8 mm in thickness, is fitted with sapphire crystals on both sides, each treated with anti‑reflective coating. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, suitable for a refined chronograph intended for daily elegance rather than excess. The cool neutrality of steel provides a striking counterpoint to the warmth of the copper‑toned dial, allowing the color to take center stage.

The dial itself is conceived as a study in layered refinement. A horizontally satin‑brushed brass base is paired with circular satin‑brushed registers framed by steel rings, creating depth and visual rhythm. Applied hour markers in black polished steel reinforce the dial’s contemporary character, while rounded hour and minute hands ensure clarity and balance. The small‑seconds hand is softly satin‑brushed, a polished black pointer hand discreetly tracks the date, and vivid red lacquered chronograph hands inject a precise, motorsport‑inspired contrast that animates the composition.

At the heart of the FXR‑4 beats the in‑house, manually wound calibre FM04. Developed over five years as a tribute to the legendary Lemania 2310, this 255‑component column‑wheel chronograph with horizontal clutch embodies Fleury Manufacture’s respect for traditional mechanics. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), it delivers a 60‑hour power reserve and drives hours, minutes, running seconds, chronograph functions, date, and a discreet day/night indicator. Every component is finished entirely by hand, guided by the same artisanal discipline shaped during Jean‑Marc Fleury’s long career at Patek Philippe.

Completing the watch is a fabric strap secured with a polished steel pin buckle, reinforcing its refined yet modern character. In this copper‑toned execution, the FXR‑4 Chronograph reflects Fleury Manufacture’s quiet pursuit of beauty—where color, material, and mechanical integrity converge with intention and care.
