For sure F.P. went further than most others in conceiving this idea of a entry level or young collectors watch.

The question I have now is can he ever do this again? Unlikely right, given the demand for the brand today. It’s a real shame.
Have others done something similar? Not that I can easily recall. Yes, maybe in the case of PP the Calatrava or at one point the 5711 was similarly placed in terms of price point (“entry level” being cheaper) but I’m not sure that’s the same thing really.

I do know several collectors for whom the Elegante is their first entry to Journe. I too would like to see a new entry level piece, but I think to be fair I shouldn’t qualify for such a watch. And there’s the big issue now, how can he ensure such a watch ...
The Elegante seem to be the new entry level piece...

But only because the CB is out of reach. I started with FPJ through Elegante Titalyt 14 months back where there was hardly any demand and I was able to get my piece immediately. Right now, I have been told of a long waitlist for both Elegante Titanium and...
