I met Jean Todt through the ICM Foundation, and during the course of our meetings we discussed the ideal chronograph for the world of car racing……I am proud that Jean Todt has agreed to be the Centigraphe’s godfather.”— François-Paul Journe The Centigraphe was conceived following discussions between Journe and Jean Todt on the ideal chronograph for motorsport. Introduced in 2008, the Centigraphe Souverain measures intervals from one-hundredth of a second to ten minutes using three independent hands of differing speeds. A patented system isolates the chronograph train from the timekeeping train, so that the amplitude remains unaffected when the chronograph is running. The same year, the watch received the Aiguille d’Or at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. The present Ref. CTS2 belongs to the LineSport collection, translating the concept into a lightweight Grade 5 titanium case and bracelet with a slate grey aluminium alloy dial and luminescent indexes. Powered by the aluminium-alloy Calibre 1506, it displays 1/100th of a second, 20 seconds and 10 minutes across three registers, operated by a single patented rocker. A portion of the proceeds from each Centigraphe is donated to the Institut du Cerveau ( ICM) in Paris.
