Many congratulations on this.

If we think about Journe over the last two decades (2000s and 2010s) then I think many would say the defining watches of those decades were the Resonance and the Optimum. Obviously both were imagined well before their introduction and some will argue that... 

Thank you

 
 By: tokyo_watch_guy : May 18th, 2022-23:34
Cheers for sharing your thoughts, I think Im in the same camp as you! For me it had to be the black dial, its just aesthetically more my style. I just love this watch. Thanks again!

Cheers toddg!

 
 By: tokyo_watch_guy : May 18th, 2022-23:33

Congratulations! The CO was also my first attraction to FPJ

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : May 18th, 2022-15:02
Can't wait for mine.

Huge congrats! One that I have been wanting to add as well.

 
 By: jp884 : May 18th, 2022-16:40
Submitted my application for the black label, so we will see. Wear it in good health.

THank you

 
 By: tokyo_watch_guy : May 18th, 2022-23:32
Hope you get yours soon!

I am not a huge Journe guy...

 
 By: JoshTheCanadian : May 18th, 2022-17:35
But this one, in particular, is absolutely fantastic. The black-dialed CO is truly an iconic watch and one that I think history will remember fondly. Congratulations on getting your grail, and I wish you the best of luck transitioning into this new phase ... 

THank you JoshTheCanadian!

 
 By: tokyo_watch_guy : May 18th, 2022-23:32
I also feel that the CO will be one of Journe's all time important pieces along with the Resonance and the tourbillion.

Fantastic addition for you.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : May 18th, 2022-17:54
Or anyone! This is one of the two unique high complications from Journe that stand out among all watches from all brands. And really it’s “only” a time-only watch. But another level of watchmaking. Congratulations!

 
 By: tokyo_watch_guy : May 18th, 2022-23:31
Totally agree!!

Thank you ttarin!

Thank you for finding it!!

This iteration is one of my favorite Journes period.

 
 By: watchitis : May 20th, 2022-15:27
Would love to own one on day. Had the pleasure of trying one on over the weekend -- love how the crown needs a little bit of oomph in order to wind.

 
 By: tokyo_watch_guy : May 21st, 2022-02:49
Yeah love the winding feel, its one of the best ive ever felt. Its cool that its abit heavy.

 
 By: tokyo_watch_guy : May 21st, 2022-02:53
It says "FP JOURNE" in Japanese katakana letters. I believe its a Japan exclusive polishing cloth haha ...
