Here are a few I keep thinking about.

Key Points from the Discussion

Mother-of-pearl (MOP) and jade dials are highly sought after, with collectors noting the distinct application methods: jade dials are often screw-mounted, highlighting their thickness, while MOP Nacre dials feature cutouts that accentuate the material's quality and allow the blue print to 'float'.
The Centigraphe with a black dial is particularly admired for its balanced design, where the subdials effectively fill the 'black space,' creating a harmonious aesthetic.
A collector shares their enthusiasm for a rose gold dial with embossed numerals, paired with a rose gold case and movement, noting that a full rose gold bracelet, while an option, might be 'too much' for their personal taste.
One collector expresses anticipation for an F.P. Journe piece that is 'on the way,' highlighting the excitement of an imminent acquisition within the community.
Another collector showcases their Chronomètre Souverain (CS) paired with a purple/gold Centigraphe strap, illustrating personal customization and appreciation for specific strap pairings.

I wouldn’t mind having two of those either-three might be unnecessary 😆 Here’s my CS on the purple/gold Centigraphe strap with your (and my) dream piece for a background.

I’m satisfied with just the Chronometre optimum. If I really had to choose one maybe the tourbillon

For some time I've wanted a Journe with a MOP dial. Don't know why, but something about the execution of MOP on Journe dials caught my attention early. Then, I came across the Jade dials. And some other various stone dials which were done upon customer requests and for special collaborations. Of course if you were a big collector (or more accurately I think a big spender) then certain Journe pieces with these beautiful dials is not beyond reach. I would guess that even for a moderate collector (

I suspect it would work super well with this particular dial. I’m not a big fan of the black dials in general but one of my favorite black dials is the Centigraphe. I love the way the subdials fill the “black space” somehow this strikes me as similar. A nice balance between the black and the white. HAGWE and thank you for dropping by.
