Finally a bit of sun on my Chronometre Souverain
By: ChristianDK : February 24th, 2019-08:11
after an eternity of grey weather. It was an invitation to take a long walk with the F.P. Journe Chronometre Souverain to keep me company. One of my all time favorite watches in my collection. A great Sunday to everyone.... ...
Thank you dear Nico - you are right
By: ChristianDK : February 24th, 2019-09:27
But I forgot to shoot it, as I was walking. But I just heard we will have an other day of good weather next month and I promise to shoot it then ๐๐
Cool! [nt]

You are absolutely right and spot on
By: ChristianDK : February 24th, 2019-09:54
Mr. Journe made a sublime watch here. He managed to find his own original take on a simple chronometer watch. In fact, I think it offers a lot for the price you pay. And I need to emphasize just how accurate it is. It is dead sharp, with less than +1 sec/...
Yes, I love the layout

The legend goes, that he started his design process with the layout of the dial. It is both harmonious and dynamic. I love how he shrinks the numbers instead of cutting them. A small detail I really fell in love with (I dislike cut numbers on watch dials)...
I got this one in 2010
By: ChristianDK : February 24th, 2019-14:50
And I have loved it ever since. I am not the first owner. That was a very well respected collector who unfortunately passed away. Mine has a very low serial no. I dont know if it is the first batch, but one of the first. I think it shows a little bit in t...
Thank you Christian...

Thatโs very interesting. Owner experience is always the best information in my opinion.
I really hope we can get that going here
By: ChristianDK : February 24th, 2019-14:59
again, you are completely right, my friend. Its a small brand, and a small crowd. (relatively) But I hope we can get a good thing going here and learn from each other
I think you hit the spot
By: ChristianDK : February 24th, 2019-09:39
It really is a classic. I never get tired of this watch. It was my daily piece for years, but the collection has since grown. I still wear it often as it is both versatile and elegant and super comfortable in the wrist.

white metal helps to keep it discrete!

but the red gold sure is beautiful also!
It is...just that
By: mahesh : February 24th, 2019-12:08
everyone notice there is something on your wrists...Pt can go for daily wear & stay unnoticed! Rg for spรฉcial occasion!!
yes, agree.
By: ChristianDK : February 24th, 2019-12:11
perhaps a bit more versatile ;-)
Probably my 2nd most favourite Journe....
By: Topcat30093 : February 25th, 2019-23:39
The first being the Black Label Calendrier that I very foolishly sold and one of my biggest regrets! One day I hope...................
I understand you feelings...
By: ChristianDK : February 26th, 2019-00:55
Oh, boy - you let your Black Label Calendrier go. That one turned out so well and it is of my favorite watches in the Black Label series. You might be interested in paying a visit to the Patrimoine section on the F.P. Journe website ;-)
I know....

Need my head examined!
