F.P. Journe

I found an old picture I took on the watchmakers work bench of Grande Sonnerie during construction. Apologies for the not so great resolution. However you get a feeling for the intriguing and complex construction of this movement. ...  

I have no idea what all these unusual movement parts are doing but it definately shows a how complex and delicate this machine is. Deus ex machina!

Good to see it Christian.

This is a stunning movement and by far the most impressive looking, especially when activated... at least in my opinion

And a great Sonnerie chime! I was actually thinking about you when I posted it, because of our previous tread about the CA Please tell us why it is your favorite FPJ movement? Best Christian

The fact he designed the movement with a child in mind makes this watch, as it's literally child proof. Plus, it is a pure joy to watch when the chime is activated, as the movement becomes alive, more so than any other piece in his collection. And of cour... 

I fully concur. I am particularly impressed with the size and and the reliability of such a complication. My favorite is still the Resonance but you present a very good reason for this one. Thanks for chiming in. LOL 😆

Perhaps you already saw it. If not here is a video where Claude Sfeir talks about his experiences with this watch. youtu.be

I wish the company released more videos like this and used a more up to date video style when releasing new pieces (their latest one for the AS was the same as past ones).

I’m sure they post a loft of money in to the computer animated videos. However I enjoy this type as well as real filming of the watches much more. I will pass on your great input!

Still very complex . Thank you for showing it .

And an impressive watch! 😊
