Sun’s out, Parking Meter’s out

A previously unloved version of the Resonance, but honestly my favorite rendition because of how rebellious it is. True to FPJ DNA with asymmetry. I love digital dials and this digital/analog combo is so unique. There will definitely be fewer RT parking meters produced vs. RQs, and rose-grey is one of my favorite Journe configurations.

matching red meter with red andsalmon and tortoise/leopard?

The only way to match this is to go all out!

And the shoes are leopard print!

Very cool rendition of the Parking meter

My problem was always the legibility. I can’t read the damn thing. If that isn’t an issue for you, then I think it’s a super cool piece. The Parking meter dial is beautifully executed and I love the big polished frame. Your combination is particularly att... 

Thanks Christian

Legibility is important in a watch, but I’ll say that for the Parking Meter i generally read the right sub-dial only, unless I’m traveling. I also sometimes only set the right sub-dial. Your comment is appreciated and is the common comment I hear about th... 

So original and unique! Love the red strap

I love red too! This strap is special to me as there are lots of details in it that are very personal.

First time I heard it being called "Parking Meter" (there's a first for everything)!

I normally don't like to see parking meters (they get you in trouble and they eat your money), but this one is definitely a nice sight for sore eyes!

It’s a bad name

As the left dial resembles a parking meter, but I love it! I wish Journe did more digital dials. Maybe even one where the digital dial is on the right!

It does remind me of a parking meter 😆 A very fine one of coz! ...  

Haha yes you nailed it !

Although nowadays it’s rare to even find an actual parking metering the street...I only pay for parking via an app!

Thank you for the kind words!

Big fan of this unloved watch. I thought the red strap would bring out the red font beautifully. It has a white gator lining on the reverse. Strap is from Alex Crown (@alexcrownlive) and is made by Jean Rousseau.

😉🙏👍😁

Big fan of this combination too.

I see some mention of legibility but I’ve never thought that was an issue when hands on with the watch. I almost picked up one of these several years ago, in the end went a different direction. Something I regret now as I think it’s a very interesting and...
