Such charming reference
Both of these are so charming. Collectors who are going to get the new limited edition are so lucky. I applied but highly unlikely to get. Really love the yellow gold dial. Absolutely unique to Journe.
Hard not to love
I’m curious to see the texture of the dial. It looks quite granular in the press release.
This is clearly a hommage to the original but it is not an exact copy- can you spot the differences?
Here is my old one for reference ...
Thank you so much, Sir :-)
I love this one. A small fun detail is that this one was built by Mr Journe Personally. It had its first service last year.
You've had yours serviced?
I'm surprised they didn't swap out the old second hand, which they did to mine did you ask them not to? I wish I could get mine back...
No mine didn't have issue with, but rather the date changing mechanism
According to ACM's articles, FPJ factories would typically just swap out the old seconds hands when they are in for a service. And this was what happened to mine. I think they know to give yours a special treatment. You're one lucky man. " The collector ...
Thats quite interesting but I cant help thinking it is coincidence.
I just compared the seconds hand to those on my 2005 Resonance. To the naked eye the difference is tiny. Mine had the date issue as well but I just lived with it. In the end the watch started to run irregular. I was a bit scared to have it serviced. My ma...
Hmm intriguing
When you finally brought it in for service, did you ask them to preserve as much as possible? That could be why
no, not really.
The only thing I was very strict about was NO polishing. I feel quite strongly about this point!
Haha that's a good point
I didn't ask them to NOT polish. Now I wonder if I have some Platinum that got polished away... But still, it's great you didn't get your seconds hand swapped out. Hope you can continue to keep yours intact for as you keep passing yours down the next 10 g...
2 Points for Viken :-) I can see at least three more differences - Care to guess? ;-) :-)
One is very obvious but there is one more thing about the print
Ok, Viken I will give you the least obvious one....
The crown is bigger. A clue for the most obvious one..... can be found in the measurements....;-) ;-)
Maybe said already? The hour labels are more centered on the hour markers in the original?
then you can score an other ;-)
2 points! well done :-)
When FP launched his forst pieces they where only available in 38mm. the forst 40mm cases where the the Limited edition Ruthinium Ruthinium Collection. The first regular production piece in 40 mm was the Chronometre Souverain which was introduced in 40mm ...
Yes, it is really subtle.
He has done yellow dials before but this one will be really nice 👍
Wow
That looks fantastic.. have no relationship with boutique but I wouldn’t be a dreamer if I didn’t try!
Ooops, my bad!
Sorry. That’s what happens when sitting on the bus and replying. Yeas the Lune in a completely different piece. More romantic as you say. My preference goes the the RDM though. (I own one) and honestly it took me a long time to “get it”. All the empty rea...
Gorgeous piece... I'm sure it will generate a frenzy!
I'm surprised it's 10mm thick. FPJ's watches usually look rather thin in person. One of the many reasons why I like them so much!
They just seem so much thinner in person!
Amazing... Journe is not only a master of watches, but one of design.
Yes, that is a focus for him
Both in design of the movements and the cases. I concur. It’s something I am always looking for if I want to buy a watch, no matter what the brand is. For me it has to do with balance and comfort. The watch has to feel like it’s “part of the wrist”. ...
No. I dont think so. My guess is that this is strictly for this hommage.
Although I would love a yellow gold dial. They are gorgeous!
Last night I was lucky to see the watch during a ZOOM meeting with Montres Journe....
And even got to say hello to F.P. He says Hi! ;-) I have a few additional details. The dial is absolutely stunning with a very soft yellow hue. It is solid gold and no plating. The texture is done by hand with a similar technique as was used with the very...
Okay great !
Was talking Journe with “Thierry” from Belgium, he told something like this... happy it’s not the case 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Happy Sunday Christian, thank you for the great pictures and information!
I have not commented yet because I ordered one immediately and was nervous about getting it but now I feel confidant one is coming my way, fingers crossed. I’m also still waiting on the confirmed Resonance but FPJ, like most others, had issues because of ...
No deliveries have been made yet...
In fact, I was told that FPJ hasn't even started the selection process and it might boil down to a lottery. However, don't quote me on any of this as no decision has been made yet.
Yes, it should be lottery
So many people want this one but just little of them can actually get this one. Lottery should be good way to relieve those people who are unhappy.
