Resonance

Photos from Monochrome. The following is excerpted from the 2014 Monochrome article. "A normal minute repeater gong covers up to 1,5 times the perimeter of the movement. When the gong exceeds that and goes around the movement more than 1,5 times, it is ca

I just wanted to recognize something done right at the F.P. Journe website! I logged onto the www.fpjourne.com website today and saw this banner telling me to avoid these fake items! Apparently wall clocks (is that a wall clock?), keychains, something wit

I absolutely adore mine. It is the most satisfying and treasured watch in my collection. I considered trading it for the Ruthinium but that ship has sailed too far by now. I can’t help thinking though, that if one would be the owner of an R, one would in

but they are gorgeous to look at. I hardly use any complication like chrono and calendars but I admire the mechanical aspects of these complications. Daily usage wise, I prefer to wear a watch with no complication as I only need to wind and go. I detest u

Hands on… I was suprised how wearable the watch is. It feels more like a 40mm. The sound is very clear and bright with the four gong westminster system. Having everything on the dials side is nice, but the „show-off“ button is a bit too much for me. I hop
