F.P. Journe

         

I think my votes were with the median and mode. I love the Dead Seconds Tourbillon. In general, I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of tourbillons, which is arguably the most commercialized grand complication in the wristwatch industry. The Dead Seconds Tourbil... 

I agree that a dead seconds with ruthenium dial would be my favorite watch too....but I dont think they ever made a dead seconds with the ruthenium dial. My favorite watch all time of Journe is the Original Remontoir. Hands down, best value in all of watc... 

You are absolutely correct! The Ruthenium tourbillon doesn't have a dead seconds... And I was completely confused; I meant to say my favorite watch is actually the Tokyo Limited Edition Tourbillon (if I remember correctly, this one is dead seconds). I als... 

But I would be more then happy to own a Platinum Chronometre Souverain. Would I have chosen a Sonnerie Souveraine? Quite possibly. My favourite ltd edition is the Black Label range, I think that the colour combinations on the Platinum range is stunning.

I think the following - 1. the price puts people off from selecting the Sonnerie - Who wouldn't want that Journe if it was relatively affordable (in perspective people You all know you want it - its the best design of the "old" style screw dials, its the ... 

and almost everyday. It is so functional and good looking and I like it being an automatic. I don't have time in the morning to wind my watches ! But I do love the Tourbillons, all versions

Hi, I would have like to get the minute repeater but I noticed that it is not in your selection. What I liked about FPJ MR is the slender case and the fact that the dial is simple with full FPJ DNA. However, I have not heard much about this MR since it wa... 

.. for the tourbillon dead seconds as well... in this poll that is... In reality, I voted for the RdM with my very own wallet. I own one in PT. It is an amazing watch and I have to say it is by far the most accurate of all my mechanical watches. But the p... 

regarding an FP Journe piece as a watch? Or are you all technophiles looking for the latest thrill in gadgetry? To me a watch is a watch is a watch. And as a watch it has to display - the time in an accurate manner – what is obviously valid for all FP Jou... 

I chose the RDM, because I just think its classic Journe, and I would take mine in Rose gold black dial.

First of all, I generally prefer the older Journes to the newer. The 38mm case is better proportioned, IMHO and the older ones have a certain whimsical, antique-ish quality that is just slightly missing in the newer pieces. I owned a Remontoir Tourbillon ... 

For me, it is the most beautiful Journe. The MP complication is perfect in this context. Thanks for the poll Brad ! Fr.Xavier

...the watch which took the single available vote was the original remontoir. Why? The dial is a little less crowded than the dial of the DS, the tourbillon cage is a little more 'raw', the window to the remontoir is almost frivolous. SteveH seems to have...

I'm one of the 11% who would've chosen the CS as my one Journe if given the choice! To me, it's perfect simplicity with a touch of whimsy (eccentricly sized numerals and dial layout). Fun poll, Brad! Cheers, Daos
