F.P. Journe

Decisions, Decisions...

After stumbling upon FP Journe a few weeks ago, I have done nothing but think of these watches. I think it is starting to interfere with my social life, hahaha. I have decided I have to have one. Narrowed it down to the Resonance or the Octa Calendrier (platinum with white gold dial on either). At first, the Resonance is the watch that made me fall in love with Journe. Not only is it one of the most unique faces I have ever seen, its certainly the most beautiful movement in the world. But, I must confess that all of a sudden, the Calendrier is growing on me. As much as I love the symmetry of the Resonance, I am finding myself drawn to the Calendrier's asymmetry.

I've been bitten by the FP bug. There is no turning back. I am just trying to decide which watch is the cure. Would love to get the room's opinion on each of them. I don't expect you to make the decision for me, but hopefully you can open my eyes a bit.

Hard choice...

... as both of them are beautiful! But think about what other watches you have. Do you already have another calendar? And will this be your daily watch? With the Calendrier you will need to set up the date/month/day of the watch every time if you only wea...

Think of it as deciding which one to get first....

the other will follow in due course if I read you right. Your preference for a manual or auto can be an infuential factor in this case. cheers fernando

Two Different Pieces

A few points you may want to consider. First, the Resonance is iconic Journe, and it is the watch which caught the attention of most of us who have become fanatical Journe collectors. With the new interpretation of the Resonance upcoming, I am of the opin...

This is a tough decision that I have been dealing with as well

There is no easy answer. Both bring different qualities to the plate. I think my indecision stems from the fact I can't have both. That hurts ! In either case, you will be happy.

I hurts much more cannot having one...

I have a lot to think about. Now I need to go get approval from the boss (theres a chance I get denied, hahaha). It may not happen as soon as I had hoped, but as soon as I have one on my wrist, you guys will be the first to see the wrist shots.

Tough decision..can't make a mistake with either if I had to pick it would be calendrier

hard choice

If it were a matter purely of aesthetics, I'd go with the Calendrier. But there is a mystique and individuality about the Resonance that makes it truly special. And of course the traditional version of the Resonance -- which is what I assume you're consid...

Dude

There is no comparison between the two. One is a watch. The other is a Calendrier. There is no difficult decision. I thought we went through this already???? Anyone who disagrees....well....is wrong . Resonance fast -before the emperors clothes takes hold...
