In a captivating post, ttarin shares his F.P. Journe Resonance, sparking a discussion among collectors about its unique salmon dial configuration. His choice to pair this horological masterpiece with a distinctive automotive backdrop offers a fresh perspective on personal style and watch collecting. This article delves into the aesthetic considerations and community appreciation for such a bold combination.

The Chronomètre à Résonance represents F.P. Journe's entry in the Souveraine collection, distinguished by its resonance complication. This reference utilizes the principle of resonance between two independent escapements to enhance chronometric precision.
The 40mm case is crafted in 18k rose gold with a fixed bezel and sapphire crystal. The silver dial houses the manual-winding caliber 1499 movement, offering a 42-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, and the watch is completed with a leather strap.
This reference appeals to collectors focused on haute horlogerie complications and independent watchmaking. The resonance mechanism positions this piece as a technical showcase within F.P. Journe's manual-winding offerings. Production began in 2000, establishing this as part of the brand's contemporary catalog for collectors seeking advanced chronometric functions.
Keep those pictures coming of both the FPJ & 911
what a picture and HUGE congratulations on the RQ, Tom Well done! If we had a picture header I would have mounted it here immediately bu I will save on my computer at least. I love this combination you chose. I saw it last weekend in Geneva. it is perfect. PS. Is that Lindgrühn?
my first salmon FPJ, it gives a serious watch a little fun flavor!=) Sorry we were not able to connect in Geneva and Paris last month, I'm looking forward to finally meeting you in person my friend. And yes, the infamous Lindgrun, will be putting the car to bed shortly for the winter unfortunately.
I know we have somewhat similar taste. How do you feel the pink dial wears to the grey we both love as well?
fun combination. I chose this configuration partly because it complements my grey/platinum optimum quite nicely. Do you have an RQ in your Christian?
Did your car change color? I thought it was a dark forest green? Now it's a lime green? Did your sons somehow bleach the car while washing it? Or did you get a new car?
