Thank you Andreas
Timekeeping is now razor sharp after an adjustment. When I first took delivery it was not good. It had a significant gain which was unacceptable, of course. It was sent back for adjustment and it is excellent now. It’s been a quite a while since I did a timing test so from memory it’s +1-2 seconds/ 24h.
It’s a watch i really long for sometimes. Actually I’m wearing it right now. I really missed it last night after wearing something else for a few days.
F.P. FRIDAY is finally here my friends
Our favorite day of the week 😂 At the moment all my attention is on the Optimum and how it epitomizes everything in Francois-Pauls philosophy. It’s interesting that the idea for the watch goes back to 2001 when he first founded Montres Journe but it was o...
That really is a stunning looking F.P. Journe Chronomètre Optimum.
The gold movement is nearly as exciting and beautiful to look at as the dial side of this watch. I also hope you have great friday also especially with that beauty on your wrist. Marc
Thank you for your kind words Marc
Ive been wondering why we have so many dial shots and so few movement pictures because Journes movements are beautiful and technically interesting
Just WOW.
If I ever get a RQ I am going for the exact same one. It’s the one that has made the biggest impression on me including the black label. Have a great weekend my dear friend P.s. love the strap pairing Once upon a time in Geneva ...
This is such a beauty. I truly love this watch.
This is the reference that got me into FPJ originally.
Hehe I dont mind 😄
It looks really great on you, Cozmo. I hope you’re enjoying it. Enjoy your weekend 👌
I’m so happy to hear that.
I’m wearing mine today. I’m just thinking how I love the sound of its tick with the 1 sec remontoir
Such a beauty. One of my all time favourites!
I have regrets about not making the sacrifice and purchasing the Optimum when a local AD carried F.P. Journe.
I understand you
We all have those. For me, the big pain is the T30. I was so close but it went to someone else. Then I slept on it and prices went up like a rocket. Damn, I would have loved to own that piece.
Lovely piece
And great to see you enjoying it so much, Christian. Out of curiosity, how is the timekeeping of the Optimum? Best Andreas

that's great to hear
because I had a similar experience initally and that turned me off the Optimum - but if it is now "optimal" it lives up to it's name. Should've persevered with it! Thanks Andreas
Christian's experience is not typical. Mine has been right on the money since new in May 2022.
I also know a few others who have had nothing but great performing CO's.
Christian, you are my hero!
I love your passion for Journe and you are such a lovely guy. So kind. Enjoy your weekend my friend!
Aaah Ed, you are so sweet 🥹
And the feelings are completely mutual. You are an exceptional human❤️
