It’s a great thought, “that fascination is forever young” if I interpret it properly.

Did you ever acquire one? It might seem that the watch would come with high expectations given the association you note with a time in your life.

Resonance : It’s temperamental
By: Jay (Eire) : March 31st, 2020-05:56
We all know that not every Resonance has worked as intended for their owners Several members here have had that direct experience, and for certain it must be frustrating. I’ve also heard stories of others with similar issues, important collectors and cust...
I think we would all urge you to look beyond the CB.

The CS as Christian points out below is a fantastic piece. If you could find a dial that appeals to you then I’ve no doubt it could be a core watch in your collection. My bias is towards PT, as it will be more versatile (like the CB). The dial choice is u...
Great post, Jay

Resonance always seemed to be a little hocus pocus in my highly unscientific mind. I have my doubts but I’m certainly glad it exists and is there for the collector’s who want it.
Superb post Jsy!

The Resonance is a great idea but for me a watch must be reliable and accurate. Despite being the signature Journe, after reading the mixed reviews on the Resonance. I can imagine it can be quite stressful to own. Watches for me are designed to provide pl...
Nice post, Jay.

I agree and I disagree with your statement. It can be a temperamental piece. However my feeling is this is particularly true for the first generation, if it is not well adjusted and still it can drift. My personal belief is it was constructed to an other ...

FPJ Resonance captured me as well years ago, when I was a 90-hour-per-week trainee hardly making ends meet. That fascination is forever young.
I do not own a FPJ..

.. but i remember well the fascination with the chronometre a resonance and in general with FPJ's timepieces. Although I came close, I actually never acquired one of his creations, and yet the fascination for those watches is just as it was.
Great post, Jay

Resonance is one of my favorite Journe pieces.
Great post Jay. And a breath-taking photo as well.

Having only followed FPJ since 2012 or so, I can’t say that I see one particular timepiece as the quintessential ‘Journe’ timepiece. That’s what makes him a living legend. From the CS to the CB to the Resonance to the Centrigraphe to the Optimum to the Va...

Very thoughtful post.

There was a time when I’d have agreed this to be the quintessential Journe. Wasn’t it his first “mass-produced” piece? But like Christian said-every Journe is quintessential; iconic. Maybe not the Perpetual? But every other is just so unique. So easily di...
