Up close with the 38mm Octa Automatique
I had the opportunity recently to check out the new Octa Automatique in 38mm size. These have finally arrived to many of the Journe Boutiques. I admit at first the dial seemed a bit busy to me because I am so used to looking at the simplicity of the CS dial. However, after a few moments I really started to enjoy the look and feel of the OA. The new Octa movement is also amazing. The rotor spins effortlessy with the slightest movement of the wrist. I love it!

Great Watch Brad!
I love this new model. Did you see it at the Toyko boutique? Congrats. Enjoy! Calfee
Very nice.
I especially like the group picture of CS black label, Octa Automatique and CS - great to have it in the masthead! Between Octa Automatique and CS, I prefer the latter for its simpler dial view and the movement view without the rotor. Actually I've even b...
Also a question that I've been thinking about
What makes the clear cut of Souveraine collection from Octa now? I guess it's the movement.
CS derivative
I don't think this new design can hold a candle to the original CS. Maybe this is a case of the emperor's new clothes. When the original CS came out it was a totally refreshing design for Journe and it was seen within the context of the classic Journe des...
