The present watch is the Jean‑Marc Fleury FXR‑4 Chronograph in 4N rose gold—a noble material expression that extends Fleury Manufacture’s vision of precision, mastery, and uncompromising respect for traditional watchmaking. Forged through Jean‑Marc Fleury’s formative decades at Patek Philippe, this rose‑gold edition balances mechanical rigor with timeless elegance, the warm glow of the precious metal enhancing the FXR‑4’s pure, architectural lines.

The 40 mm case, measuring 12.8 mm thick, is crafted entirely from 4N rose gold and fitted with sapphire crystals front and back (both with anti‑reflective coating). Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, appropriate for a refined dress chronograph. The anthracite dial presents a sophisticated, technical palette: a horizontally satin‑brushed brass base with circular satin‑brushed registers framed by steel rings creates layered depth and visual rhythm. Applied hour markers in polished 4N gold echo the case material, while gently rounded hour and minute hands deliver clarity and warmth. The small‑seconds hand is rendered in a softer satin finish, and a polished gold pointer hand discreetly tracks the date. Vivid red lacquered chronograph hands provide a precise, motorsport‑inspired accent that animates the dial without disrupting its refined harmony.

At the heart of the watch beats the in‑house calibre FM04, entirely manufactured at Fleury Manufacture after five years of meticulous development. This 255‑component column‑wheel chronograph with horizontal clutch stands as a tribute to the legendary Lemania 2310. Operating at 21,600 vph (3 Hz) with a 60‑hour power reserve and 26 jewels, the movement drives hours, minutes, running seconds, chronograph, date, and a discreet day/night indicator.

What elevates this rose‑gold edition is the exceptional finishing visible through the sapphire caseback. Every component is hand‑finished with the geste de l’artisan—mirror‑polished and satin‑finished chronograph levers, rose‑gold‑coated wheels, and palladium‑treated maillechort surfaces that magnify the traditional Côtes de Genève. This choreography of forms and textures reveals the movement’s architectural complexity and Fleury’s commitment to artisanal excellence.

Completing the watch is a fabric strap secured with a 4N rose‑gold pin buckle, reinforcing the piece’s refined, contemporary character. In this rose‑gold expression, the FXR‑4 Chronograph embodies Fleury Manufacture’s quiet pursuit of beauty—where material, movement, and meaning converge in a timepiece crafted in small series for the true connoisseur.
