UN Monopusher 386-88



Found out about this reference shortly after a fellow collector grabbed one (after chasing it for quite some time).

I was very fortunate to have one pop up within days of his acquisition - from our friends at EWC.

Surprisingly not a lot written about this reference. The movement was designed by our good friend FP Journe (with others) and can be found in similar styles watches from the same time period. The CPCP Cartier Monopoussoir and a DB1. Debethune, I believe, purchased the rights to the movement.

Some additional cool photos on Hairspring.

Had to get a quick strap to hold me over while some others are on order. Very cool watch and glad to share it here.

That’s a beauty. What is the size? Looks like an awesome little package.

37mm. Way smaller than my usual 42+ preference but I love it.

Nice watch and congratulations!
But concerning the movement I believe Denis Flageollet did a lot more than journe.
Denis is probably one of the most amazing watchmakers out there but somehow most people don’t know him
The third guy is Vianney Halter, also a genius
So don’t give all the credits to Journe 😁

Yes I should change the (with others) in my post to use the names of those from THA with him. Very fair point!
