Based on what I've seen in the Journe community, that's not out of the question! May need a tote for several bottles 😂😉
No message body
I kind of thought they had already...
...as with other brands that are impossible to get, I don't think it will matter much.
Mere mortals can't get one anyway...
...just wait until they stipulate that you have to buy 2 'cheap' ones to get the one that you really want.
They are not like that.
since they produce @900 pieces/ annum they are sold out well in to 2022 and have 10 boutiques, it’s hardly a huge surprise If this happens.
i'm not certain if this was modded or if i didn't click submit - but curious what one finds at a boutique?
i'm in northern California and boutique is in the south - i'm curious do they have models for sale at boutiques?
I am also in NorCal...
...my only experience with a boutique was in Tokyo. I would drop in occasionally and they were always very nice. I realize too late (of course) that I should have gotten something then...
There used to be two AD’s in the Bay Area
Shapur and Stephen Silver. Bought my first couple of pieces from S Silver. The LA boutique is beautiful and run my an amazing staff including FP’s brother Laurent. The market for Journe has changed significantly in the last 18-24 months. You won’t find an...
Very. They helped the brand become what it is by pushing it on the secondary market.
They had just opened a new boutique with a a Journe centric space.
You mean:
They manipulated the secondary market based on their cache of secondary stock... more of a picture i would paint.
Can you really manipulate the market to liking a watch?
I have heard so many times that FPJs rise is due to manipulation. I agree they did get a lot of help on the supply side. But can you manipulate people to buy a watch due to rarity? I do not see stars or athletes wearing FPJs. I just want to give credit to...
Yes
Manipulation is all about creating a desire of the unobtainable ( that is within a collectors sphere)... increase price; reflects a rarity; reflects a desirability ; or; a commodity.
WOW
Always been a roger dubuis fan, the sympathie line (the earlier ones like yours) are amongst the most beautiful watches created.
There is a Journe AD in Southwest Florida but he has not seen a watch from them in over 8 months...But last week still had all signage up and FP Journe logo still on their website.
Not even sure he knew this... last time I was there in 2018 he had around 10 Journe's so I assumed he moved quite a few! -D-
Govberg will end up pushing another brand like they did with FPJ
Moser , ALS , DeBethune 🤷🏻♂️
I have always wanted their fume no marque dials. Just cant decide on the color. I missed out on a purple one. In touch with their regional office
I like the vantablack apple watch also. Just find it too expensive for a fun piece.

While not in U-S-A, means a several years of a wasted relationship... are we to be pushed to the bottom of the queue? Not a Journe Society member, now wish i was.
Big step, but were always planning for it, I think.
An independent, still run by its genius watchmaking founder, small but large enough to have a constellation of international boutiques making sales and (most importantly) service easier, financially secure: That's an ideal case and it's what Journe has ac...
Not my information.
Seems the restriction of supply is limited to the USA. My Australian distributor assured me that they are continuing supply and my name on the waiting list, for the two I am chasing, is firmly in place.
