F.P. Journe

Controversial initially, now perhaps more broadly accepted. But if we ignore the physics this reference also presents itself as a very unique design. For non watch people I’ve observed the Resonance to be very alluring, but in no way intimidating (this ma...  

and as you stated, controversial, but isn’t that good? It creates emotions, start of conversations, ... I tend to agree that this probably must be the signature piece of Journe. Also a nice picture by the way. Br, Dirk

What a capture! One photo to encapsulate Journe DNA perfectly. Will be near impossible to improve on the balance of the dial and layout of the movement, and I wait with apprehensive anticipation for what the new version will become. One day I hope to land... 

I’m not sold on the Pisa. I like the contrast on the dial for sure, however I think the charm of the early grainy dials outweighs anything that has come after.

He’s never created a thing and now he learns that all his mates have been constructing tourbillons!?

With your beautiful picture and your description is just spot on! The Resonance will always be THE signature FPJ watch to me. And it strikes a perfect balance between being a significant piece of horology and a very wearable watch. The watch that has it a... 

Dear Jay, may you shed some light about the controversy youmention in your post? To me, the original Resonance was the watch that brought FPJ to my (very limited) attention, and there was only admiration for the ingenuity of the resonance movement and the... 

In terms of the controversy it was centered on whether or not the watch did what it claimed. There were questions about whether the phenomenon of resonance could exist in the wristwatch. Some objectors questioned if the rotational force of the two balance... 

My engineering background is not nearly sufficient to comment on the resonance phenomenon - I tend to trust the inventor. The real test for me would be if the seconds hands of the two movements actually stay in sync over the whole reserve de marche. If th... 

Though to be fair they did not stray far from each other. This was one of the reasons I did not keep this piece.

Mine has been pretty much spot on. However others have said similar to you, and others still have found larger variance. The struggle I assume is first in the regulation. It’s need to right and perfect. Also, and here’s another question for Christian’s li... 

In cases where the two movements don't sync perfectly, I wondered if there's any consistency or predictability in how they might (mis)behave -- for example, if there are predictable patterns such as, "They two movements may deviate from each other by as m... 

have owned several times in different variation. But every time I let it go because it always' fell sick' and needs servicing which adds up the cost of maintaining it. It seems like the latter Resonance do not have such issues. Still, I do miss it. ...  

get my close attention . I'm liking more and more Journe watches of that dimension.

Resonance is a great watch in deed. Best, mahesh.,
