Mark, thanks for sharing. It was a great pleasure reading your encounter with Journe pieces. CS is indeed a wonderful piece and true chronometre. I certainly look forward the day you acquire this work of art. It would be well worth it! But you already know this.
AP is a great company and am proud owner of their watches, mainly the Royal Oak. But lately, I am quite confused about what they have been doing, mostly, the limited editions Offshores - which I passionately disagree on, particularly in terms of the direction they are taking. But that is whole new discussion that has been beaten to death. I'm sure Riley would strongly disagree with me.
That being said, I do absolutely adore the Jule Audemars Jumping Hour Repeater though. An absolutely brilliant piece.... jumping hour always seems to turn me on. I also cant wait for future installments of the remarkable Starwheel complication.
Riley, the tourbillon is amazing. Are you considering one?
I'm sure there are plenty of Journe lovers here, I'm sure some of us are keen to read your encounters, that is if you are keen to share it with us...
