I have really caught the Elegante bug lately. I like to rotate pieces for a few days. However - I just can’t take this one off . It’s so special - the dance of the hands when it “wakes up” and the luminous dial. It’s feather light due to the titanium cons...
I’m really happy that I settled on the grey dial. I had a long debate over this or the black dial. First with Carlson from the NYC boutique. First I was set on the BL but he convinced me to go this route as the texture catches the light so nicely and is m...
Was always intrigued by the case of the Elegante. I requested one in titanium recently -- something to look forward to! I also had the opportunity to try on the ti AR2 this weekend, the dial is striking and really quite amazing in yellow. I do wish they r...
The ti AR2 is one of the candidates for my next FPJ. It’s so nice in titanium. My only quibble that I think he raised the price to much on this one. Wishing you a great weekend 😊
Today I brought my beloved CS to watchmaking school. We worked with chronometer timing, and my friends at school encouraged me to put my CS on the timer. It was a jaw dropping experience for all of us. the watch preformed with amazing accuracy. The mean d...
It documents what I have experienced on the wrist for so many years. That the CS, if properly adjusted is a razor precise movement. Very, very difficult to beat. Journe is not just about style, complications and pushing innovation. At the heart of it all ...
Dear Christian, I totally agree with you. F.P. Journe is the watchmaking of the highest echelon; I find that his watches are created according to the following formula: Embeded in history of watchmaking x Derived from finding solutions to the most difficu...
I like your formula. I think it sums up perfectly the challenge and use of tradition materials and methods. Its a coherent attitude. NOT a little bit of this and a little bit of that jumping from piece to piece. there is VISION.
But I love the look, love the case, love the idea of it being truly an everyday Journe. And of course love the strap choices. Anyway, back to Journe Fridays for me and I had specifically planned ahead to have the CTS on wrist today. Here’s a live shot. Lo...
I am looking in to it right now....wait....it is hazy.....now we are travelling a little bit forward in time.....ah yes.....I see it now. .....very clearly! I see Jay.... and he is wearing a ...wait...yes its is an Elegante. He is looking at it...not the ...
Also, for me specifically, I like the smaller case and it works well on my wrist. Having Mike’s RQ on the wrist at the weekend, and another Lune (also 40mm) which didn’t appear in the pictures I am getting closer to thinking 40mm is OK for me. I still nee...
