I really wish I loved the Vagabondage series, but...
The shape of the case just stops me from adding it to my collection every time I see one. I'm glad you love it as I really do wish I could as I love the evolution of the 3 part series. One day I hope to track down a Carpe Diem, was a great part of the Journe story, like many of his other pre Montres Journe pieces.
Work from home : Finally a Journe !
Continuing with my work from home theme. This time a Journe which I think will make Mike a little happier as I told him last week that it’s been several weeks since I’ve worn a watch!!! The Vagabondage, specifically the Vagabondage II which is defined by ...
Hooray, Jay!
Although I notice you’re still not wearing it. This is not my favorite Journe, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t consider it at some point. The casework is nice; and I seem to remember it was not too large. An interesting take on jumping hours, etc. While ...
It’s relatively small, your memory is correct. Very wearable.
I think that always helps with a coloured metal, especially for those of us who don’t wear coloured metal generally. I did put it on, for 10 seconds.
This one is from Jean Rousseau.
But you can go to any of the reputable custom strap makers, choose your hide and chose the specific cut from the hide. You need to do it in person however, online can be done but I don’t think it’s worth it unless you can see the hide in person with the w...
You know my thoughts on this Jay
It’s probably on my top 3 Journes I was fortunate thanks to you of course to handle this particular piece and I’m still blown away by it And the stem strap just gives it much more coherence Truly sublime my friend
The two FPJs that top my wish list are...
The Chronometre Optimum Black Label and this exact Vagabondage II with this exact same camo strap. If I ever make it happen one day I hope you’ll take it with no offense and understand that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Cheers! BTW - I do o...
Haha, all good.
I remember when I first mounted that strap there were some comments to the effect of “don’t let F.P. see that”, all in good humor of course. Also, I tried several months ago to get the same strap for another watch but while the camo hide was available the...
I love the Vagabondage series
If I had a money tree, I would buy all of the three. They are unmistakably Journe although the shape takes inspiration from the watches he did for Cartier, I think this case is transformed so much he can call it his own design and that it much more beauti...
You know I think I prefer the Carpe Diem, but for sure the Vagabondage is maybe more interesting given the case shape. The case obviously makes it “more Journe” too.
It’s also interesting that the Carpe Diem was automatic, and a micro rotor. Pictures for those who have never seen this piece unique. Photos are courtesy of our own FX (please remove if there is any issue with me posting). ...
