Cheers Filip, right place right time.
Sometimes we make the correct watch decisions! 😂
One for Sunday; 2002 never looked as good !
F.P. Journe Chronmetre a Resonance, 38mm, Platinum. I really think these watches look best with the slimmer bezels one sees on the 38mm cases. In the modern line up there is also some small variation in bezel thickness. I’ve mentioned this before but for ...
Thanks Emmanuel.
At the most basic level I just love how this case fits my wrist. It’s the right side for me no question; but the case as you know it is also relatively thin, and the three piece construction with those small lips between caseband and bezel/caseback are so...
The only thing I need to be able to fully "feel" what you're saying is to have seen this watch in person.
So far, I've only seen it in photos, which is very different. But I can imagine how good it feels on your wrist!
I’m on the same train.
The Resonance, any (Journe) Resonance, is THE watch to have in a collection. I realize the ability to acquire one now is for all intents and purposes virtually impossible but for a select few. But as Christian will happily argue (and I agree with him), th...
This is true Jay. Any Resonance is the one to have.
I absolutely adore mine. It is the most satisfying and treasured watch in my collection. I considered trading it for the Ruthinium but that ship has sailed too far by now. I can’t help thinking though, that if one would be the owner of an R, one would in ...
No question. It’s a beautiful watch.
But as we have noted before, this particular OEM Khaki strap really adds to the warmth of the dial. Which visually makes a big difference in my opinion. The power of a good strap !

Not an easy answer these days.
Because I don’t have it with me for long enough to make any proper assessment. I think the last time I monitored it was in 2020 (COVID) where I did so with several watches. I just looked for the file I kept at the time and cannot find it, but I don’t reca...
Did you ever seen the Journe lecture at HSNY from 2020?
If not, it’s a good video. There are lots of interesting comments from FP in there. In particular he talks about how these watches are temperamental and the key to the watch functioning correctly is the regulation; if the balances are not regulated closel...
I agree Gary.
After my entry point, which was the cheapest Journe available at that time (the CB) which also happened to be the most contemporary in design, a Resonance was my next goal. Fortunately at that time, while still a lot of money for a watch but nothing in co...
