ChristianDK's post offers a timely look into the performance of a freshly serviced F.P. Journe Chronomètre à Résonance, a watch celebrated for its unique dual-regulator system. His detailed account of its accuracy over a week provides valuable insights for collectors considering service or evaluating the precision of their own timepieces. This thread also captures the community's diverse weekend wristwear, highlighting both F.P. Journe pieces and other notable watches.

As I was last Friday….. Since it stuck to my mind and to my wrist this past week, I decided to do a little testing. 
My Resonance was serviced last year and I have been wondering how well it runs freshly serviced. So I’m happy to see that since last Friday the seconds hands are still perfectly aligned, no resetting. ..and the watch is showing + 8 sec / 7 days, I’m very pleased to conclude. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend 

What are you up to and what are you guys wearing this cold Friday

About the F.P. Journe Chronomètre à Résonance Ref. resonance

The Chronomètre à Résonance represents F.P. Journe's entry in the Souveraine collection, distinguished by its resonance complication. This reference utilizes the principle of resonance between two independent escapements to enhance chronometric precision.

The 40mm case is crafted in 18k rose gold with a fixed bezel and sapphire crystal. The silver dial houses the manual-winding caliber 1499 movement, offering a 42-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, and the watch is completed with a leather strap.

This reference appeals to collectors focused on haute horlogerie complications and independent watchmaking. The resonance mechanism positions this piece as a technical showcase within F.P. Journe's manual-winding offerings. Production began in 2000, establishing this as part of the brand's contemporary catalog for collectors seeking advanced chronometric functions.

The genius of FPJ is on full display in this one. No FPJ on my wrist this am. But this one isn’t so bad.

I have given the CdV some wrist time during the last three days, just to give a little break to the 5098P ;-) I wish you a very nice week-end. Best, Emmanuel
