F.P. Journe

Hi friends its finally friday and so its time for our weekly tradition. Please drop by and say hi. This week im posting a watch that isnt mine. This is the Automatique Reserve from the Line Sport. 44mm in Titanium. a picture I took early 2019. I wanted to...  

Hello, Without rubber the Line sport has lost herDNA. For me the news models are more sport-chic than realy sport. Isn’t it. I can wear my ARS doing VTT. Motorbike. It’s light and confortable.

I can see your point! Strong argument. Definately the identity is stronger with the rubber inserts ... However, personallty, I prefer the Line Sport without. I can see how it was an important part of the look but I still think it is a very recognizable an... 

And, the titanium is super light and super comfy (the right choice IMO): But today, I am still sporting this Havana: ...  

I thought at first, it was odd to put it in a "sports" watch because it is such a delicate complication.- Except - Sports watch is a very different concept from a tool watch (like a Rolex). It A Sports watch is merely a more informal look ( like a sports ... 

For the longest time I thought I was the only one who liked this model. The confusing bit was journe said years ago that this watch was surface swimmable. Now they told me no when I asked a month ago. Even more confusing is my wife likes it. Calls the yel... 

LOL! Photo: F.P.Journe ...  

More problematic may be your need for two of them to keep your mate happy. That could be pricey.

Other people have done it!

When I got the elegante they said definitely swimmable but not the ARS2. Definitely confusing when it’s coming from the brand boutique

Im a bit confused reg the surface swimming. Who did you ask? I will be happy to ask in the manufacture. If your wife likes it, thts a pass! HAGWE!

They also told me the elegante definitely surface swimmable with the screw down crown. I wanted to be sure since I would wear it to work daily and I wash my watches after so I asked again contacting journe. They referred me to the boutique who said no jus... 

When I first saw the Line Sport collection and the pieces were available, I wasn't too impressed. I much preferred FP's dressier models on straps. But I have warmed up to them as well since then.

The current ones are just too big for me. It's the prior, 42mm Line Sport watches that I've come around to coveting!

My CB which has been sidelined for a few months. Giving the CS some attention recently. ...  

The CS is probably more versatile but we cant live without the CB

But I have it on other colors! 😊

Here is mine. ...  

The RG probably has my favorite dial of the three (love all three) HAGWE my friend. Christian

The lack of screw down crown was the big thing holding me back for a long time, but I got over it and decided I’d allow it to get wet (such as at the water park with the kids) but not take it full-blown swimming. I’ve been fine so far. A secondary concern...  

How much wrist time does it get percentage wise? 60? Ok I know you own other cool watches as well. Have a great weekend my friend Christian

In honor of the sporty Journe. My most worn watch of this entirely crappy year! ...  

That picture is too good. Very much my taste, Jay! HAGWE!

I never liked the the design of linesport before until recently. I just started to think that this line is the coolest of all the sports watches (maybe biased being a Journe lover), especially in titanium and without the rubber bumpers. It's as sporty as ... 

Even quite good value, relatively speaking.

This is an amazing daily driver! It’s super lightweight, comfortable, and wears smaller than it 44mm size. And the yellow dial makes it a “fun” casual timepiece. ...  

Personally I thought this was one of those sleepers in the collection as it was dismissed by many, first for just being in the Sport line and then also because I don’t think one sees how well this works unless one sees it in the metal. Enjoy it.
