Octa Reserve de Marche

Exactly the same for me. I’ve always preferred the classics just a bit, but once I saw the Élégante on someone’s wrist—and then tried it on myself, feeling the weight (or rather the lack of it)—I fell in love with it right there. It all made sense instant

I was much more frustrated before I figured out how to coax it to the correct date when it malfunctioned, so that I didn't have to send it in for servicing every time the date indicator got hung up. Now it's like a vintage car or something, where I expect

I know F.P. Journe doesn’t officially participate in Watches & Wonders, but last year during W&W week I was invited to a luncheon at the Manufacture and had the chance to see and try on all the 2025 releases firsthand — including the two boutique Chronomè

Hey everyone, I’m looking to acquire every FP Journe catalogue book and I still have some missing in my collection, if anyone has any catalogues that they are willing to part with, please comment or DM me, thank you

This one is a mad beast which I love. Funny because I was going through some old Revolution Magazines today and there was the article introducing this piece. Good old JLC days of creativity and feeling of adventure. Probably difficult to do some similar i
