I’m not sure I’m there yet on the Elegante.
But I love the look, love the case, love the idea of it being truly an everyday Journe. And of course love the strap choices.
Anyway, back to Journe Fridays for me and I had specifically planned ahead to have the CTS on wrist today.
Here’s a live shot. Love this watch more than I ever could have thought or expected.
Have a good weekend all.

It’s F.P. Friday and so it time for our weekend wrist check…
I have really caught the Elegante bug lately. I like to rotate pieces for a few days. However - I just can’t take this one off . It’s so special - the dance of the hands when it “wakes up” and the luminous dial. It’s feather light due to the titanium cons...
Oh man. That is so good.
I’m really happy that I settled on the grey dial. I had a long debate over this or the black dial. First with Carlson from the NYC boutique. First I was set on the BL but he convinced me to go this route as the texture catches the light so nicely and is m...
An elegante date would be outstanding!!! While I love the BL, I think it elevates the CO to heights that makes it a difficult watch to wear daily, which ironically I believe is what FP intended this piece to be. His most accurate timepiece that he...
created for himself to be worn daily! Plus the strap options are endless! But in the end, we all know there is no wrong answer=)
Great pic Christian
Was always intrigued by the case of the Elegante. I requested one in titanium recently -- something to look forward to! I also had the opportunity to try on the ti AR2 this weekend, the dial is striking and really quite amazing in yellow. I do wish they r...
Fantastic 🤗 then you really have something to look forward to. I’ve had mine for a couple of years and the more I wear it the more I realize how special it is.
The ti AR2 is one of the candidates for my next FPJ. It’s so nice in titanium. My only quibble that I think he raised the price to much on this one. Wishing you a great weekend 😊
A jaw dropping experience
Today I brought my beloved CS to watchmaking school. We worked with chronometer timing, and my friends at school encouraged me to put my CS on the timer. It was a jaw dropping experience for all of us. the watch preformed with amazing accuracy. The mean d...
What a cool post Robert. Thank you for sharing this.
It documents what I have experienced on the wrist for so many years. That the CS, if properly adjusted is a razor precise movement. Very, very difficult to beat. Journe is not just about style, complications and pushing innovation. At the heart of it all ...
You will soon have your Chronomètre Optimum 😊
Dear Christian, I totally agree with you. F.P. Journe is the watchmaking of the highest echelon; I find that his watches are created according to the following formula: Embeded in history of watchmaking x Derived from finding solutions to the most difficu...
thank you, Robert. Hopefully the test of my patience will end soon :-)
I like your formula. I think it sums up perfectly the challenge and use of tradition materials and methods. Its a coherent attitude. NOT a little bit of this and a little bit of that jumping from piece to piece. there is VISION.
As we all have been doing at one point. The Journe friends are a small crowd but you are always welcome here 🤗
Have a great weekend, my Friend

Well, the reality is it may be the only Journe I can get my hands on these days.
Also, for me specifically, I like the smaller case and it works well on my wrist. Having Mike’s RQ on the wrist at the weekend, and another Lune (also 40mm) which didn’t appear in the pictures I am getting closer to thinking 40mm is OK for me. I still nee...
Here is my contribution today. Been
wearing it the last few days and loving it. Hope everyone has a stellar weekend! ...
