F.P. Journe

Congratulations on a phenomenal watch.

 

To be perfectly honest, I'm very inspired and in a way jealous that you are so disciplined.

Just as a few of us, in almost 3 decades of collecting, I have more watches than I should.....and just like our esteemed moderator - I am more preoccupied now with thinking about reduction of my collection, since (somehow magically) I have all of a sudden no plans and no desire to buy another watch since mid last year - after I purchased the FPJ Resonance.

....besides my utmost admiration of the FPJ brand since early 2000s, I am really happy that after so many years, I finally *found it and got in* with my acquisition of FPJ watches.

One thing for sure (at least for me),... getting into FPJ is helping me to appreciate the quality of high horology even more than before and somehow makes it a lot easier to let go of peices that have been in the collection for a lot longer than they should have been.

Sincere congratulations again!

The One-Watch Collection: An Ode to Lightweight Daily Wear (F.P. Journe Octa Sport ARS2)

Hi everyone, I’m a one-watch collector, mainly for financial reasons. I’d rather own one great watch than juggle four lesser pieces on rotation. Over ten years ago, I started exploring vintage watches—first with the usual Universal Genève chronographs, an...  

Congrats, and I don’t feel a bit guilty ! 😂

As we discussed, if one’s lifestyle allows it then this is a perfect daily watch. So happy to see you settled on something and then had the conviction to go for it. It’s most definitely not the “standard” or “usual” choice, certainly not predictable despi... 

Thank you Jay!

Seeing how often you’ve been wearing your Romain Gauthier C these past months, I can completely imagine myself—in a few months or years—writing a post saying: “I discovered the Romain Gauthier C, and it’s so light and comfortable that it became my one and... 

Huge congratulations with this great FPJ

I personally appreciate your introduction of yourself. You seem to have thought through your collection philosophy very carefully and I really applaud your conclusion. Most of us have chosen the more obvious path of buying several watches, typically to bu...

Christian, your kind words, especially coming from a collector like you, really mean a lot to me. Thank you so much!

Magical color matching...

Bold contrasting color watches are not very common, but they are really unique! I always want to take a second look at them. I like this kind of novel watch. Congratulations!
