Francois-Paul Friday is here with a testament to cronometry....
ChristianDK
FINALLY the Chronometre Souverain is back on my wrist as it has returned from service.
A while back, I was was unfortunate at dropped the watch on the floor. I had changed straps but not made completely sure the pin was fastened properly. So here is a word of caution. Please check, with more than just a light pull when you change straps. Luckily all that happened was the the seconds hand came loose but I decided to get a full service as it was 8 years since I had it serviced last time.
This tuesday I set up the the watch and put it back on the wrist. I had forgotten how good this watch is. Seriously! Right now I feel like this is my all time favorite watch. Especially in this configuration. to ME it feels PERFECT. Perfect fit on the wrist. Perfect size and proportions. Classic look but with an asymmetric dial layout. A beatful and lasting design... and the timing...well....0 seconds deviation since tuesday morning. It is now friday afternoon!!!! THAT is F.P. Journe.... Yes it is perfect and I still love it as much as the day I got it. A watch for life.
Lets see what Journes you are wearing this weekend. Ill be wearing my CS. probably play with some straps but I will e much more careful.

Glad that your trusty CS is back from service, and functioning as if it had never missed a step. I once dropped a friend’s CB on the first day that he took delivery of it, back in 2015. It didn’t take long for them to repair it (a screw had come loose off of the movement). Very happy to hear that it’s chronometry is perfect. I always look for that in...

Thank you Hussam, for your kind words . :-) :-)What a story… Not your best moment,I guess…😬 I was kicking my self for not being more careful but that’s hindsight in a nutshell… I agree completely on your words of precision. It was always a big deal to me. Wishing you a great weekend

Heeyy my dear friend. So good to see you:-) You have so many ice pieces up your sleeve…. I remembered you had it in red gold?! I didn’t remember this one. Isn’t it just an amazing watch. No nonsense, no hype. To me, the best simple manual wind watch. All brands included. Have a great weekend , Mike 😘

I dropped one at the boutique and the manager gave me a death stare! They are super nice there, but that was awkward! They should put carpet or a soft mat under the spot where people try stuff on!

I dropped my CB twice. The second time was the day I got it back from service for the first drop. I admitted nothing the second time.

I like that they let it slide for you.
