I’m with you on that point.
Personally I’d not pay the premium.
Whether I think it’s the right commercial decision or not I’m not sure. I haven’t thought too much about it ! One thing for sure is that the market clearly told everyone that these black dials do command a premium and so the change in pricing structure based on that alone is justified. So long as the market continues to indicate this, when it doesn’t will that premium all be reversed at retail? (A rhetorical question, just to be clear. I know the answer 😂).
Trying on a friends Black Label RQ
Terrible lighting in the restaurant but what a beautiful beast. ...
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing
F.P. Journe is truly a special producer that has established themslves as brand that will leave a strong legacy.
Not sure I agree with you on that one Jay.
I’m generally not a big fan of black label except the Centigraphe, which to me is a clear winner. I also love the boutique edition of the CS with the gold print. This one was gorgeous. Some times I find the black dials a bit flat and dull in the texture. ...
Interesting
Interesting taking. From pictures the black label look gorgeous. Will soon I’ll get to see them in person. Amazing watch 🤩
Very true...
Before I acquired my black label CO, I always admired it on someone else's wrist. Now that I have it, I am looking for other dial colors to admire. I guess the grass is greener on the other side but the current premium they are getting for the black label...
I forgot to mention the CO Black Label
Which is of course dead stunning…. The premium on BL., I agree, is not worth it. I was sad to see if move to this point

LOL 😂 I’m sure…
That won’t happen LOL 😂 Honestly. It used to be that BL commanded a small premium in the price but otherwise it was a courtesy shown to collectors when the brand management felt it was deserved. It’s not like a block dial is harder to make than a grey or ...
You are definitely correct insofar as it almost always photographing better.
I think for me, with the exception of the CS, the black dial and rose gold case is a clear favourite. I’ve not seen one I haven’t liked with the Optimum being the clear favourite for me. It’s good we don’t all like the same things, it would be no fun then...
Such an impressive piece!
There's a simple elegance to the black label editions. But all variations are incredibly compelling, especially when you happen to catch an unexpected glimpse of one in the wild.
