I like the Zodiaque a lot. Actually one of the Journes that had me interested in the brand. My only possible complaint is for the power reserve indicator, which sits a little uneasy on the dial imho. I think the reason for it not being very popular is not that it's a bad watch, but...

I agree it was in the shadow of the originals... Like the Resonance and the Tourbillon. It is just not a significant as those. I believe the Calendrier got a lot warmer reception.

F.P. Journe Resonnance - the 2019 edition
ChristianDK
this is the final edition of the Resonance, only produced this year. How do you like it? compared to the older versions? I like it more and more. I really like that the subdials are printed in blue and I like the simpler design of of the new dials. In fact Im thinking Im beginning to prefer the simpler graphics.
