Sum of the parts
If I didn't already own a Journe I would for sure buy the Octa Perpetuelle. The Calendrier model in itself is a wonderfully designed, beautiful watch. Combine this with the Titatinum case, ruthenium dial and rose gold accents and you have a killer combination. The modification to become a perpetual is less interesting to me. Journe always said a perpetual is nonsensical. One because it's not technically difficult but also because of the hassle of having to have special push pins to reset them. He overcomes this with the addition of a push button and saftey lock at 8 o'clock. Would have better if he could have managed this all from the crown.

Wow that would be quite a FIRST Journe

Jester, I am with you....................
I do like the Perpetual Calendar and probably would have of gone for one, if I hadn't already got my Calendrier. The only thing that I am not too keen on in the Perpetual Calendar, is the one thing that that makes it easier to adjust. The button at the 8p...
The perpetual calendar is too close to the normal annual calendar...
Did you know that the perpetual calendar watch is actually based off the annual calendar watch and has only about 40 more pieces than the normal annual calendar? I think the simple fact that the perpetual calendar can be achieved with only a few more part...
Even close races have winners
The perpetuelle certainly is close to the calendrier, but --with one caveat-- if I didn't already own a calendrier and were buying one or the other, I'd opt for the perpetuelle. Journe has been very fair in its pricing differential for the added complicat...
Why use titanium
I was told that all of the 3 previous annual limited editions were made of titanium.
Starting with Tokyo...
Correct. For the first year anniversary of the Tokyo boutique FPJ produced a CS with titanium case, ruthenium dial and rose gold accents and crown. This was followed by the a second year anniversary piece, a Resonance in the same metal/color combo. By the...
In those cases alternatives existed
Each of the three watches identified was available in precious metal for buyers who believed that this was the path to follow for pieces of such merit. Is there reason to believe that an unlimited perpetuelle in gold or platinum will be available down the...
