The Titalyt is so so attractive, but I have pieces that fill the summer/backed out watches void already so like you I'm trying to add a new dimension to my collection with the elegante. Leaning towards the titanium finish but we shall see 😎

Considering an FP Journe Elegante 48

I am very tempted to add the elegante to my collection but while browsing threads relating to the watch, I found out there were issues regarding the rotor and time resetting. I wonder if this issue has been solved by the manufacture. Any owners can give m...
That is radioactive!

Thank you for your input Tlph. Lovely to have the opinion of a fellow HK collector too, did you purchase yours from the boutique and did you have to be on a waiting list?
Thank you!

I dropped by the boutique yesterday and I've been told there is a 3 month waiting list, and a deposit needs to be paid. In other news, I tried on a "sample" and loved it even more! Can't wait to join the elegante club soon
No issues for the past 1 month

Like you, I have read about similar issues of the Elegante but decided to go ahead with the 48mm Elegante Titalyt. The lume in the dial is a peach and watch fits the wrist nicely. No issues for the past 1 month, but finger crossed. ...
Gorgeous!

Congrats on the piece and that is very good news. I am currently deciding between the titanium one or the titalyt version.. how did you pick yours?
Thanks!

I prefer the Titalyt’s matte finish and I read that it’s more scratch resistant.

for a few months. No issues so far. Great summer watch, interesting as a regular wear watch. ...
Indeed

Thank you for your feedback batholith! Love the matching dial and pool The way I see it, the titalyt version is more cool and casual, whereas the titanium one is suitable even for the corporate environment. Decisions...
My pleasure

You're right, it certainly is a very casual watch. I wouldn't wear it to the office or with formal wear.
What a strap
By: JTCL : August 13th, 2019-20:57
Thank you cmmnsens, I love your combo btw! I wonder if it might even work with a leather strap 😅
Interesting

I went into the NYC boutique, no waiting list

I tried on the darker version. He could sell it from stock, the lighter titanium would take two weeks. I just found it a little small for me. I had on an ap 26320 and the journe 48 was much smaller.
Hmmm
By: JTCL : August 15th, 2019-02:08
I was told by the HK boutique that it'll be three months of waiting and a deposit to get the elegante, but from what you say I am suspecting if that is entirely the truth. Anyway I tried it on and it fits well given that my wrist is on the smaller side. T...
