Wristshot
ChristianDK shares a personal reflection on wearing his F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu, tying it to the significance of the Only Watch 2019 auction. His post highlights the charitable aspect of watch collecting and offers a glimpse into the anticipation surrounding new F.P. Journe releases, specifically the Astronomique Bleu prototype. This provides context for the brand's role in philanthropy and its innovative future.
The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain represents the foundational timepiece within the brand's Souveraine collection. This reference demonstrates the manufacture's approach to precision timekeeping through manual winding mechanics, positioned as a core offering in F.P. Journe's lineup.
The 40mm case is executed in 18k rose gold with a fixed bezel configuration. A sapphire crystal protects the silver dial, while the manual-winding caliber 1304 movement provides an 80-hour power reserve. The timepiece features 30-meter water resistance and is paired with a leather strap. Production commenced in 2000.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking F.P. Journe's mechanical execution in a fundamental three-hand configuration. The substantial power reserve and manual winding caliber position this model for enthusiasts who appreciate traditional watchmaking approaches within the Souveraine series framework.
But what really drives me crazy about this watch is the dial - it is ever changing and ever fascinating. It is like a piece of art on the wrist. There is nothing like it out there!
Nico - time to go for it ;-)
it is hard to find anything that brings significant value as an entry level watch (in any brand for that matter). i've a new for you...you'll see it in PM Best, mahesh.,
One of these watches you better never try on your wrist.... cause once you did you’ll need one
You need to try the Resonance, Bruno. Something else but goes deep inside the brain.
however, that is not nessesarily a reason to do the trade. I think it depends on a number of factors and especially what you like to wear. For me, the Resonance is one of my all time favorite watches.
