Is that a rotor on a Centigraphe!?!?!
That's the only place you'll see it, the facade of one of the Journe boutiques, this being the NYC one on Madison ave. I wanted to give the staff there a bit of public recognition for being such nice people. I was there a week ago and dressed as I usually am (meaning they couldn't see my Journe until I removed my jacket to try something on) they offered me a cup of espresso and to see anything I wanted without a moment's hesitation. When I then expressed interest in their shelf of reference books the offer was "Stay and read as long as you like, just let us know when you want more espresso"
That is service!

That was my experience in Hong Kong too ...
Thanks Aaron, nice story and photo. That was exactly my experience in the HK Boutique as well. Enthusiastic dedicated staff that were happy to talk horology rather than just try and sell me a Journe. Very pleasant indeed. I wonder what sort of 'training' ...
Good to hear that the boutique staff are welcoming!
There's nothing that will sour me on a brand faster than an unpleasant encounter with brand ambassadors who make me feel like a country bumpkin lucky enough to just be allowed into the store. All the high horology in the world can't make up for poor grass...
Thanks for sharing your experience. But the thing I don't get is...
why don't ALL watch brands out there who have their own boutiques do their best to emulate what the general consensus is to be, at least as this thread shows and personally for me too, THE BEST boutique experience one can get?! Disclaimer is that I haven'...
I echo your sentiments
I went into the NYC store two weeks ago and was blown away by their hospitality, and I did not even have the advantage of a Journe on my wrist. I actually commented on how nice they were and then we discussed how different that was relative to a certain A...
I have had the pleasure of visiting two F.P. Journe boutiques and one dealer...
I first visited the first F.P. Journe boutique, the one in Tokyo. It was very difficult to find, since it isn't actually on one of the traditional shopping districts (it's not quite at Omotesando). The staff member who assisted me was incredibly passionat...
