What were they talking about?
There was a large amount of conversation about watches in both English and French. A very large amount of French was spoken at the event; unfortunately, I don't speak French so I was unable to fully comprehend the discussion.
Whatever the conversation was, it was very enjoyable. Wished you were in attendance so we could've had our own conversation.
New York City Boutique Grand Opening
It has taken a long amount of time, but The Big Apple has finally been graced with its own F.P. Journe boutique. The new New York City (NYC) boutique features a unique layout that is more private club than actual traditional watch boutique. The emphasis h...
Damn ... I just love NYC
thank you for sharing great survey of one of rare boutiques I saw that even from pictures radiate friendly warm atmosphere Best Damian
Terrific photo spread Patrick. It was great fun. I even see me in there !
Wish we could do it again.
Timing is everything.
By sheer luck I was in town for my youngest sisters wedding. I was invited to the opening by Ashley, and my wife was kind enough to watch our children while I was there. It was a very interesting and enjoyable time.
Absolutely Jed!
When I was in the NYC boutique, I was looking at the watch you have on your wrist! It was a must see!
Thanks for your photo report!
Damn, I wish I had been there. I was either at the office working nearby, or in Tokyo then.... Peter is a wonderful person. Thanks! Ken
Wished you were here too...
Wished you were there. But I wished I was in Tokyo too. Peter is indeed very good, an asset to the new F.P. Journe boutique. At least you're not too far away from it all.
Thanks for the pics - It was a pleasure to meet you
Hi Patrick: Thank you so much for posting the pictures. I am glad that Josh and I were in a few pictures with you. Two watch events in one week: the Montblanc dinner and then Journe. I cannot wait for the Lange event next year. You are a true gentleman an...
It was my pleasure to meet...
It was a great pleasure to meet you and Josh as well. It was especially interesting to meet another fellow Montblanc pen appreciator, as there aren't many among us. I am looking forward to the next opportunity to wine, dine, and share laughs with you and ...
Thanks Aaron!
I can't take credit for all the pics. But I will take credit for the short report! Thanks!
Thank you bro for the coverage!
Excellent photos! Excellent night it must have been! Cheers Stephen
Thanks bro for the compliments...
I can't take all the credit for the photos, because they were taken by a professional photographer. It was indeed an excellent night as there were many PuristS there. Wished you were there too, you were on my mind during this event.
Thank you, and i wished that i was there too!
Must have been good especially getting to see the Bleu blue blu! Cheers Stephen
A truly special place from one of my fav brands. Thanks.
It looks great. Would love to visit it some day. I will. Thanks for sharing. Vte
One of my favorites too!
Hopefully, you'll make your visit sooner than later... Besides, the great City is always worth a visit. The F.P. Journe boutique is also within walking distance (about 20 minutes walk) of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both require a visit. It's truly a ...
Thanks Patrick for such a lovely report................
One day I too maybe fortunate enough to attend such a marvellous occasion.
Almost as if I was there!!!
Thanks Patrick! You captured such an amazing event perfectly! With so many familiar faces I feel as I was almost there. The boutique looks fantastic.
You were mentioned!
You were mentioned, more than once I might add. You were also very missed. A very special PuristS member had a very nice bottle of wine that was set out to breath for a while; a percentage was left in case some unexpected special guests decided to surpris...

... while looking at the pics, we jst think about how cool it would be to be able to hear what they are talking about K.

Patrick--fantastic post
Wish I also could have been there! And the new boutique looks amazing.
It was amazing...
Wish you were there too, it's always a pleasure to meet you! I dare say, this new F.P. Journe boutique is perhaps even more amazing than some of the boutique(s) we frequent. I personally love the "private club" concept.
Terrific report.
I went to the new boutique recently, and was thoroughly impressed. I've known Michelle since her previous posts in the industry, and she is one of the most accommodating, lovely people you will meet.
The boutique and its staff are all fantastic...
I'm sure Michelle will be missed at her previous post on 57th St, but I'm sure she's happy in her new home. Peter will also likely be missed at his previous post, but again, he's very confident of his move to F.P. Journe.
Thanks for reporting on this event, Patrick!
The new boutique looks lovely, and Mr. Journe and everyone in his organization should be proud. I think FPJ watches are some of the best looking timepieces out there. Next time I'm in NYC I'll have to stop in and see it for myself. Cheers, Daos
Great event!
WOW what an incredible event and magnificent pictures. Thanks for sharing with us!
Returned to Boutique today. Had a chance to try out the Chronometre Bleu
What a beautiful watch up close. That dial is magnificient. What a blue, breathtaking, especially against the white hands. It all started when I was walking back from brunch with a distinguished member of the Appellate Court of New York, who I promised to...
It's a small world...
At another PuristSPro meeting in New York City, another PuristS member realized they were neighbored to one of the attendees at the meeting. Small world.
NYC boutique
Had the chance to stop in Today. Ashley was warm and welcoming, and the place is amazing. Like a Journe Museum. The Bleu is stunning, i especially love the deep blue color against the dark Tantalum case. The size is great, and the price point makes this a...
Montres JOurne NY
Hello all. Thank you for the nice comments. Just a clarification, the Black Labels are in Platinum and limited. The red gold with Black dials are exclusive boutiques but not limited.. Best, Pierre
Thanks
Limited..not limited.....whatever it is, I like it!!! All i know is that the Rose Gold Resonance on bracelet with black dial is one of the nicest watches I have ever seen. Seeing it in person makes all the difference......
