I got this one in 2010
And I have loved it ever since.
I am not the first owner. That was a very well respected collector who unfortunately passed away. Mine has a very low serial no. I dont know if it is the first batch, but one of the first. I think it shows a little bit in the beveling, which is a bit more rough than the stanard today, and that the dial has a slightly darker color. One of the Journe staff claimed it was a slight oxidation. If thats true or not, I cant tell you.
Finally a bit of sun on my Chronometre Souverain
after an eternity of grey weather. It was an invitation to take a long walk with the F.P. Journe Chronometre Souverain to keep me company. One of my all time favorite watches in my collection. A great Sunday to everyone.... ...
Yes, excellent company. Thank you for your kind words, BMR
I was soaking up every sun ray ☀️😄
Thank you dear Nico - you are right
But I forgot to shoot it, as I was walking. But I just heard we will have an other day of good weather next month and I promise to shoot it then 😝😄
You are absolutely right and spot on
Mr. Journe made a sublime watch here. He managed to find his own original take on a simple chronometer watch. In fact, I think it offers a lot for the price you pay. And I need to emphasize just how accurate it is. It is dead sharp, with less than +1 sec/...
Yes, I love the layout
The legend goes, that he started his design process with the layout of the dial. It is both harmonious and dynamic. I love how he shrinks the numbers instead of cutting them. A small detail I really fell in love with (I dislike cut numbers on watch dials)...

Thank you Christian...
That’s very interesting. Owner experience is always the best information in my opinion.
I really hope we can get that going here
again, you are completely right, my friend. Its a small brand, and a small crowd. (relatively) But I hope we can get a good thing going here and learn from each other
I’m hoping that the Journe forum goes from strength to strength...
Great quality that should be supported within our forum.
Certainly a wonderful company for a sunny weekend
And congrats to you dear Christian for your well deserved appointment
I think you hit the spot
It really is a classic. I never get tired of this watch. It was my daily piece for years, but the collection has since grown. I still wear it often as it is both versatile and elegant and super comfortable in the wrist.
Mike, dear riend
Thank You so much for your words. It means a lot to me. But what is even better, is that I must congratulate you also!!!! I was so happy when I was told the news. We have an old appointment to meet in Paris. Let’s make it happen this spring 😊
You shot it well my friend...
I’ve bought one but got to pick it in person from my next trip to US. Best, Mahesh.,
It is...just that
everyone notice there is something on your wrists...Pt can go for daily wear & stay unnoticed! Rg for spécial occasion!!
Probably my 2nd most favourite Journe....
The first being the Black Label Calendrier that I very foolishly sold and one of my biggest regrets! One day I hope...................
I understand you feelings...
Oh, boy - you let your Black Label Calendrier go. That one turned out so well and it is of my favorite watches in the Black Label series. You might be interested in paying a visit to the Patrimoine section on the F.P. Journe website ;-)
Thank you, RG. Yes, I agree. I never get tired of this watch.
The Chronometre Bleu, which I also have and absolutely love, is highly popular right now. But this one is more versatile. It is so well balanced. I wear mine a lot. Sometimes for months at a time.
