Black and White? No, Grey & White
Probably two of my more favoured watches in my collection, but how do you pick a favourite among your kids?!
I had been missing my Observatoire since it went in for service. Kari is the best. I brought the watch to him for servicing in early Feb and in 1 month he had sent the watch back to me. Not only did he return a perfectly functioning watch in no time, he also made it look like new. Yes, Kari, I did notice the little things you did for me. No complaints on customer service from me!
The Observatoire is in his hardened steel and grey dial. This is probably my favourite Journe. I have this in platinum and grey dial. Both similar and different. Both are clearly identifiable to their makers. What joy!
I happened to be wearing the Resonance when the Observatoire returned from its makeover. I just could not help getting my little canon out for a small family group picture! Hope you enjoy as much as I do!
A nice pair, white metal and grey dial. Kari looks good in the brown strap. I must try the black and blue ones soon!
Such depth to the dial. I need to play with better lighting conditions and use a better camera
A side by side shot. Blue vs Brown! Kari is a lot thicker.....
What lugs... oh what a set of lugs.....
One of my favourite shots of the Resonance
The engine and heart that runs all these magnificent machines
The End
Thanks for Watching!

What a wonderful pair of watches! I'm always surprised how great Kari's pieces look with brown straps -- especially the white metal pieces with grey dials. Thanks for sharing these -- the side by side shots are particularly interesting to me. It's also ve...

Hi Gary, Let me explain my design choices, which Kari kindly agreed to. I would not have done them had he suggested against it. I generally prefer white metal cases. I thought that white/grey combination is great and it something that I do not have. In my...
