Independents

The poison struck deep... I was dumbstruck, entranced ... bewitched, bothered and bewildered at our recent GTG earlier this month. I had fallen for the Chronometre Bleu. I had always liked simpler dress watches, and this fit the bill. Plus I didn't really...  

I love that watch. Good catch! Cazalea

Beautiful and IMHO the best watch in this category . Rose gold movement and tantalum metal case is the best in its league . ...  

Dear friends I got an extra strap of my choosing as a gift from the dealer and was wondering which colors you suggest for this watch. Thank you Marcio

The camel one goes amazing with this piece!

Visually stunning movement too...

Certainly one of the best watch to enter into the FP Journe universe. Congrats

Yep ... On my list too! Shame though that it doesn\'t have the reserve de marche and only fault I can find is small crown which means you can\'t wind on your wrist ... Still I bet one is not supposed to do that!

I need one too. Someday.

It\'s an amazing watch. My AD keeps on trying to buy mine back from me because it is in high demand. I have no interest in trading mine any time soon. I hope you enjoy yours.

Just paid for mine today and will pick it up when visiting LA in July! Looking forward to it

I used to have one, but gone already.... This pic is just for remembering my bleu enjoy it with good health ...  

In truth, this is a watch I will cherish for a long time I suspect. My first indie watch will always be special.

It\'s the next one on my list to acquire. Lucky man. Enjoy!

This is a keeper. I am blue with envy. Regards, Ian

Easy to understand your feelings for the watch - it is a true beauty and a real winner for FPJ Hope you will enjoy it for a long time!

Front and back, I love this one indeed. The tantalum gives it a nice heft too, sheer tactile enjoyment!

I have to keep visiting this forum just to keep dreaming about this watch. Someday.... Dan

The ever-changing shades of blue never fail to surprise me ...  

And... time for some shots of the rose gold sexy movement on the reverse side!

...  

It's complementing the tantalum case and blue dial very, very well

Finding the right shade of grey for the strap was quite difficult but I got lucky. Thank goodness for the Internet!

Very very nice piece there. The blue is fantastic!

Congratulations, an eye catcher with two really beautiful sides! ...  

I've always thought all Journe watches would look better if he used AR-coated crystals. I was told that he doesn't use AR-coated crystals because of the blue tint (which, if true, would be ironic in the case of the CB!). What do you guys think about AR vs... 

Never really thought about it. I\'d have to compare side by side with and without the coating. You might be right those beautiful dials might be better appreciated with the AR.

... though I'm told that they have almost-colourless AR coating now (not sure if that's really true) I hadn't realized other FPJ watches lack AR too. My gut feeling is that for the others, AR might make a big difference and make the dials even more easily... 

I love this watch (below) but am frustrated by the fact that I can never truly see the dial without any glare. I KNOW it's a beautiful dial. I just with I could see it in its natural state! ...
