Francois Paul Friday is here, so let’s continue last Friday’s theme of dream watches...
Here is an other I have tried many times. The Repetition Souveraine from 2008. I love it for its stealth quality and very slim and elegant steel case. Some say it’s not the best sounding repeater out there but it is certainly not bad either. I would love to add this one day too.
Let’s see what FPJ piece makes your heart beat faster? Join us with with what you have - either on your mind or on your wrist.

Fist time I see the Orange Sport in red gold. that looks sooo good with the bracelet.
Simple, cool and with a certain elegance. Very, very nice.
The T10 is a grail piece of mine. It’s absolutely stunning. I love it’s simple gestalt and then you turn it over and see one of the most beautiful Tourbillons o have ever seen. stunning!
Great pick for a dream watch.
HAGWE my friend
Yes isnt it. Its such a classy little elegant watch
I love the blue accents on the dial.
HAGWE!
HAGWE!
Happy Friday!
This is priced out of my range now; 6 months ago, when the cost was substantially lower, I thought about it but I was too slow.
I have the exact same situation ...
I was hesitating, Then things exploded.
I love this one on the Pt bracelet. It suits this piece.
HAGWE my dear friend.

Exploded seems to be an understatement. I parted with a few a little bit too early. I left a lot on the table but who knew? Journe is incredibly hot at the moment.

Why have they gone up so much in such a little time?
The CS tourbillon was half the price they go for a year ago.
I've heard it!
I am no connoisseur when it comes to the tone of chiming watches but I can certainly tell you the sound was *faint*. More so than any other minute repeater I've heard.
The CB is my only FPJ, which I’m very grateful to have. Years later, it’s still my favorite watch.
If I were forced to keep only one watch from my collection it would be the CB. I would love to have other FPJs, but availability, expense and reality begin to enter that equation. Here are some others I would choose. Who knows? Perhaps someday...
With regard to FPJ there is no wrong choice, only preferences.
Hard to beat the black dial Optimum. It’s a real beauty, in PT and RG.

You are a lucky man - the CB is such nice piece to wear.
a simple and enormously strong watch. I do love your candidates though. Especially the Optimum and the Vagabondage.

Last week was a wish for something that didn’t exist (yet), this week let’s go with an existing watch (just about given there are only 10).
Another vote here for the T10. I prefer this to the T30 because of the dial and the case material.
10 pieces to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Journe’s first boutique (Tokyo). I chose this photo specifically as I recall when I first saw this story / video and I thought the strap choice really made the watch shine.
Photo: Hodinkee, at the time the watch was owned by Japanese collector Toshio Aoyama (and maybe still is).
Ive watched that video 100 times. what a cool guy and with some amazing pieces
The T10 is an absolute grail watch for me. Not ever likely to happen but it os just so incredibly beautiful!
great illustration.
Wishing you a great weekend Jay!

I’ve watched it many many times too. Taking things at a very basic (aesthetic only) level, it’s such a cool watch.

Can you please send me the link to the video you’re talking about ? Thank you

Not sure if this will work but below is a link to the original story, video is about half way down.
No problem. It’s quite the 3 watch Journe collection. Although I suspect the collector owns more as one didn’t get on the short list for the T10 without being a VVIP.
