F.P. Journe

As promised, here are some side by side photos of the 42mm 2020 Resonance and the 40mm 2019. ...  

And ironically, Looking at them side by side, it makes me want to find a nice example of the 38mm (if prices ever come down a little).

I really like the new model too

I Really appreciate it. I’ve saved your pictures to my hard drive. 👍😊 I am obviously a huge fan of the old one but the new one is incredible. I think fans could find a place for both, and it still makes sense. If you can find time, do you think it would b... 

Or did Journe provide additional fingers? 😅

and the indents are a little smoother and easier to turn. Similar in feel to the crown on the octa automatique. I’ve always felt the original crown at 12 o’clock was thin enough to feel a little sharp.. All in all, it’s a lot easier to wind.

Both are fantastic and I am sitting here saying “the new one. Definitely the new. No wait, the old one. Definitely the old.” I guess having both takes care of the issue. Thanks for posting the side-by-side comparisons.

technical marvel in deed !! enjoy in the best health. Best, mahesh.,

Can't quite tell from the first picture. I was told the only difference between a 40 and a 42 is the thickness of the bezel. True or false?

No message body

Looking at them side by side, I think they use more of the space on the new model so it feels larger.

You can see some of the facelifted watches e.g. in the Octa range has been given a slightly larger dial as well and then a narrower bezel in 40 mm. No 42 mm cases in these though.

...but for everything else, especially the thinner case and cleaner dial, the 40mm wins. If I were rich I'd get a hybrid.
