Hi Rahul, thanks for the post and congrats!
No I did not try on the 40mmm but I have a Bleu and it is a little small for me so I went with the 42mm, my wrists are 17cm so you can Jude for yourself in the pictures. Personally I like a little bigger watch and 42mm hit that target for me (I am happy) but most anyone would be fine with the 40mm. I have no idea how orders for the two different sizes panned out, it would be interesting to know…Jim
Just received my new Resonance and took it to
The FP Journe event in Beverly Hills last night. What a great event and Mr. Journe himself was there! He is a very nice person and very humble, thank you Mr. Journe for creating such unique and beautiful watches, I saw old friends and meet some I’ve commu...
As always Fab you are so kind, the event was very special
It was a GTG with watch people from all walks of life versus some of the other dealers that are selling and having hot chicks run around with drinks (nothing wrong with hot chicks), that is insulting to my wife and she always wants to leave early, this ti...
Huge congratulations Jim
Incredibly watch, and the event looked a real good time! Out of curiosity were you able to try on the 40mm Resonance? Was there any particular reason you went for the 42mm? I hope one day I may be able to place an order, just not sure which size I would p...

Wow. The biggest congrats and fondest of memories in your journey
That is one for the books and something extraordinarily special beginning to end. A grail watch for anybody and one that looks great in your wrist. Thank you for sharing the experience and with the man himself ! Ben
Hi Ben, thanks for your congrats and
The event was special. Such nice people, young and not so young . The people at FP Journe are a class act…Jim
Great post! Great watch! Great watchmaker! Congratulations to you & your wife on acquiring these fantastic pieces!
Looks like it was a fun event. Enjoy your new watch in the best of health.
What a nice post Bill, much appreciated
How fortunate we both are to enjoy our time with such wonderful people and passions…Jim
Thanks for sharing
Looks like you had a good time in great company, that is palpable from the photos (the watch aint bad either haha)!
We had an especially good time Aronax
Yes the GTG was better than the watches, I only wish San Diego had a group like this. The watches are a special treat, we are very fortunate to have then and enjoy others than enjoy the same passion…Jim
Congratulations and I hope that you enjoy it for many years to come.
Mine says hi 😜 Hussam ...
Hi Emcquillan, the iPhone
13 has a great camera, and some of the photos are my wife from the stairs above us…Jim
Doh!
I walked past the boutique last night on the way to dinner and wondered what was on. Wish I’d dropped in now 😭
:-), it got crowded towards the end…
Of the event, I wish you had stopped in, great fun…Jim
Gorgeous FPJ
Huge Congrats and looks like you had a amazing time at the event. Thanks for sharing
Hello Watchonthewrist
Yes the event was well done and lots of fun. I’m very fortunate to be able to share these times and watches we all love…Jim
Huge congratulations Jim!!!!
You finally got your watch Im so happy for you and its easy to feel your enthusiasm. I think you have considered it well. Thank you for your pictures from the event. Meeting friends and people who are genuine about this hobby is what makes it worth going ...
Christian you are so spot on and so positive, it was an 18 month wait but well worth it!
My enthusiasm showed through at the party when we all got a l laugh out of what my business card has on it. It states I’m the CEO (Chief Excitement Officer) of my company and it certainly shows though with my demeanor, sometimes too much . I’m happy I ord...
Very kind of you to say Watcholic
I can’t take the watch off and since I set it Tuesday morning (over 48 hours) it has only lost 3 seconds with the resonance working perfectly. What a fantastic creation by Mr. Journe and meeting him was a treat…Jim
My first Journe event cmmnsens
But I’m on their list now and look forward to attending again soon…Jim
Congrats Jim.
A watch to end watch collecting, I know it’s been positioned as that for some of us here. Many congrats on acquiring it. FP has always been gracious and humble, if a little reluctant in conversation in English (at least that’s my experience). And the even...
Hi Jay thanks for the congrats!
Yes this is a very special watch like no other. The complexity, design, hand work, the materials, the invention(s) and it is so classy without showing off, Mr. Journe is in the R.W. Smith or Kari world of genius. And yes as you say “A watch to end watch c...
Geat photos, wonderful addition to your burgeoning collection!
Congratulations to you....
:—) yes nacelle I think I have a problem!
