Francois-Paul Friday is here with a testament to cronometry....
FINALLY the Chronometre Souverain is back on my wrist as it has returned from service. A while back, I was was unfortunate at dropped the watch on the floor. I had changed straps but not made completely sure the pin was fastened properly. So here is a wor...
Glad that your trusty CS is back from service, and functioning as if it had never missed a step.
I once dropped a friendās CB on the first day that he took delivery of it, back in 2015. It didnāt take long for them to repair it (a screw had come loose off of the movement). Very happy to hear that itās chronometry is perfect. I always look for that in...
Thank you Hussam, for your kind words . :-) :-)What a storyā¦
Not your best moment,I guessā¦š¬ I was kicking my self for not being more careful but thatās hindsight in a nutshellā¦ I agree completely on your words of precision. It was always a big deal to me. Wishing you a great weekend
Letās just say that our friendship was rocky until the watch came back š¬š¬.
Good weekend to you too
Heeyy my dear friend. So good to see you:-) You have so many ice pieces up your sleeveā¦.
I remembered you had it in red gold?! I didnāt remember this one. Isnāt it just an amazing watch. No nonsense, no hype. To me, the best simple manual wind watch. All brands included. Have a great weekend , Mike š
I dropped one at the boutique and the manager gave me a death stare!
They are super nice there, but that was awkward! They should put carpet or a soft mat under the spot where people try stuff on!
I dropped my CB twice.
The second time was the day I got it back from service for the first drop. I admitted nothing the second time.
Havenāt dropped it yet.
Knock on wood. Is your head wood? If it is then knock on it.
Whoops š¬l š I can imagine it must have been.
Accidents happen. I once accompanied my mother to Wempe as she wanted to buy a Cartier. They offered her a glass of champagne which she immediately knocked over as she was so excited/ nervous. Unfortunately they have fabric on the counter top and the whol...
Glad nothing more serious happened
Did you ask the service department not to polish of even buff it ?
Yes exactly. As the case surely shows some hair lines
The piece has never been polished. Iām very strict about this. Luckily they understand this at Journe and I think it has become more normal to request.
Greetings from sunny Frankfurt!
Christian, great write up on the Chrono Souverain. A wonderful piece! And thanks for the extra caution tip when swapping straps! ...
Ultra cool combo, Patrick
The illuminating orange works perfectly with the electric blue. Probably my favorite contrasting combination.
Haven't dropped mine yet
Agree with everything you say about its wonderfulness, though! I regard this as the most superb watch I've ever owned. ...
There is a first for everything š
Iām thinking it could be my exit watch. Most would probably pick a Rolex for that which I can understanding.
I undestand.
It would be VERY easy to picture myself wearing this watch every day, and that being that. Are there circumstances (hiking, skiing, swimming, working out) where I wouldn't wear it? Sure! But I'd probably be happier NOT wearing a watch in those circumstanc...
WOW! That is some story. My FP Friday contribution...
Sadly, can't say the same about its accuracy but it's pretty close. ...
Brown sugar! That color is beautiful. I always think of a good cigar when I see it.
Reg the accuracy, I think yours probably have the same rate of stability (same daily rate) but is just not regulated as close to zero as mine. Mine used to be +2 sec per day but Christophe at the Paris Boutique has Ben able to get it closer to 0.
Iām with Alex in bucking the trendā¦.
ā¦I havenāt worn a Journe in two weeks. After some time in the countryside (or āupstateā as they like to say here) with only my āPadjā Seiko today I had my trusty sporty Journe back in the wrist whilst navigating the urban jungle. Glad to hear you have you...
Padj or PADI Seiko? I would love Iif we had a Padj Seiko š
I want a CTS. Itās so cool!
Thatās exactly how I feel.
Iāve been working in the garden all day but when I put it on for dinner it gave me that rush again. Itās love that remains even if itās more than a decade since I bought it.
