I agree with your word, René: tridimensional.
And so deeply rooted in the history of watchmaking!
Dream watches, for sure.
Best, Emmanuel
My two favorite Journes
The two F.P. Journe Anniversary Tourbillons , the T30 and the T10 , are my personal favorite F.P. Journe watches. The T30 was created in 2013 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the completion of Journe's first Pocket Watch , which was a Tourbillon, in...
I don’t think there’s a Journe I don’t love.
Just degrees. But I find it interesting that you picked two watches that do not have the very distinct and recognizable FPJ design language. both rare and beautiful inside and out.
True, these two differ a little from the more usual distinctive FPJ design.
But I love the pocket watch inspiration and the overall purity of the design. And the Tourbillon complication! Best, Emmanuel
I'd love to own one of the two.
Maybe the T10 even more than the T30. But it's definitely not going to happen, so I'll enjoy the photos! ☺️ Best, Emmanuel
Very interesting
Most unusual and probably my favorite as I don't like the FPJ hands.
For me to.
Especially because the subdials feature the metallic frame which is characteristic of FPJ's design. But I miss the hunter case back and engraved case flanks of the T30. Best, Emmanuel
I agree, it does look gorgeous.
The only thing it lacks, imo, is a hunter case back and engraved case flanks like the T30. Best, Emmanuel
Quite true, yes, with some distinctive FPJ elements
like the crown or, for the T10, the metallic frame of the subdials. Best, Emmanuel
Not many Journe watches have been love at first sight for me.
But the T10 was one such watch where it was absolutely love at first sight. It may be odd to say that, having owned several and still have others on my target list. But for me, most of his watches needed some time to burn into the memory, to understand th...
My preference goes to the T10 too, which I find quite fascinating.
Reason why I fully understand why it was love at first sight for you. And I really think the 10 owners of the 10 examples are pretty lucky chaps. That said, I would personally love the T10 even more if it had two features of the T30: engraved hunter case ...
Yes, very true.
The only things I miss from the T30 are the engraved hunter case back and case flanks. Best, Emmanuel
Both beautiful, but I prefer the T10!
Definitely looks more "Journe" from the dial side. Thanks for the presentation of these two!
I prefer the T10 too,
except for too things that don’t miss from the T30: engraved case back and case flanks. Best, Emmanuel
Incredible watches and maybe one of my fav besides the V series from FPJ
The T10 is so rare but that hunters case back from the T30 and the two tone adds something special to that one imho
I completely agree: I miss the engraved hunter case back and case flanks in the T10 too.
But I tend to like the T10 a lot because of the metallic frame around the subdials which is pure Journe DNA. Best, Emmanuel
Both are incredible pieces of course.
That being the case, I'm not a huge fan of the two-tone look on T30. T10 is in its own league, but the ultimate perfection would have been T30 case with the hunter's case back 👍
I completely agree with you.
A T10 with engraved hunter case back and case band would be perfection! Best, Emmanuel
Of course I like them, dear Emmanuel
You have a superb taste for watches. I love also how Francoise Paul was able to perfectly miniaturize the movement of his pocket watch. It looks so… I can’t find the words to explain it better but… tridimensional, maybe? And the guilloché on the side of t...
I agree with your word, René: tridimensional.
And so deeply rooted in the history of watchmaking! Dream watches, for sure. Best, Emmanuel
Uuuuuh now we are talking, my friend!
The T30 is my grail. While I love and admire the T10 highly and it is probably the most wearable of the two, the T30 wins in my book.. I LOVE the silver case and for the the dial is more beautiful and impressively executed irl. I almost got the T30 and ha...
Oh, I'm so glad you like it so much too!
Judging from photos (unfortunately, I've never either of the two in real life), I had the feeling that I might prefer the dial of the T10 because of the characteristic metallic frame around the subdials. But, of course, the T10 doesn't have the engraved h...
