I agree with what you said , Jay. To me, the Resonance is the most iconic. I also know very sophisticated Journe collectors who say the Tourbillon.
The clown I was lucky to see in Paris in December. I never understood it until I saw it. It just put a big smile on my face. But what are watches for, if not for that? Truly original.Amdreas Hentschel was sitting next to me during dinner and I could sense how this serious and minimalist watchmaker was thrilled in exactly the same way, when he sai: “yes, why not?”

The Unmistakable Resonance
The Resonance should be for all watch enthusiasts/collectors unmistakably Journe. It’s the reason I always answer “Resonance” to those questions about which watch most easily identifies the brands or which is Journe’s most defining piece etc. Also here yo...

As we discussed before, the Resonance does appear to have been a temperamental old soul and so user experiences vary.

“Why not”, that’s exactly it.
I think that’s the right sentiment. Perhaps we need a little more of that. I think MB&F is built in large part on this same sentiment, if they ever stoped to think “why” we would have never seen those crazy Horological Machines.
Yes, great watches need inspiration
That doesn’t happen bu making a list of all the nice “ingredients”and putting them together. A vision is needed. Watches are not necessary- they have have to inspire us. If they don’t do that they are at best, expensive accessories or status symbols. I th...
