Journe

Thank you very much
Every day I prefer a different one over the otherš
All so special. Of course at some point I would like to add the optimum, which than would give me the dial asymmetry ā¦. This message has been edited by India Whiskey Charlie on 2025-05-23 11:31:27
Help for first journe
I need your help Went to the Journe boutique and was asked to put 2 models down. For my first I can choose the following. 1)CS boutique edition 20th anniversary platinum/ blue dial 2) lune 3) automatique Sizewise I could easily wear the 42mm but the only ...
The blue dial on the new CS boutique edition is amazing.
I recently saw it and fell in love. As far as the others, Iām not sure what the specs youāre looking at (eg platinum only?), but you canāt go wrong with any. Since itās your first, any of these options should be good. The only exception is the line sport,...
I agree. Go with the 40mm. Also - the CS
is so iconic and can go with anything from casual to dressy. That boutique bleu in person is even better than in photos.
Thank you very much. All wonderful models and hard to choose.
Initially wanted the resonance and optimum - but they wonāt give that as first piece I love the blue on the cs but love the asymmetry on the automatique dial, the lune ads a function but than maybe is a less cleaner dial and you loose the blued hands for ...
Warm welcome to WatchProSite!
Itās only a matter of personal preference, but for me there wouldnāt be any hesitation: a manual winding watch especially with a movement as special as the one of the CS is not to be missed. And the boutique platinum blue dial looks wonderful. So 40mm CS ...
Thank you very much

CS 20th Anniversary blue dial
Seems like there's agreement between all of us. Congratulations whichever you choose! I certainly understand the - each day I prefer a different one over the other. Seems to be a virus we all get once in a while!
Yes I think it is a perfect entry.
Especially because it is hand wound and blue beeing my favorite colour. I hope it will still be in production when I get it
Hmmm those are all good and there is no wrong answer
The CS was my first watch and it will probably be the last watch in my collection Iāll ever get rid off. On the other hand some prefer the Automatique over the CS. I own that as well but the CS is my personal pick. Listen to your heart. Itās not like one ...
Hmm very intriguing
So I read a statement of fp. Apparently he designed the resonance with 42mm in mind. The case being thicker would be nearer to the cs proportions of the caseā¦.š
My first and only FPJ was CS
After awhile I decided I didn't need two gold watches ... I kept the GO and sold the CS. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20 Cazalea ...
Welcome to the group! Getting into Journe makes for a fun Journey ;)
Unless you have *huge* wrist, for sure stick with 40mm. As was mentioned before, the CS is the ultimate FPJ Classis and beloved by the beginning or the seasoned FPJ collectors. All your potential picks are great and instead of us, it's ultimately only you...
Hello
Thank you Sorry didnāt have time to change the flag and location yet But I am French Yes blue hands all the way and platinum with rose dial is so stunning in person!
I would ask for whatever they would offer you.
It is difficult to ask for a special edition without having a history.
They suggested it to me actually
I didnāt even know about the blue dial cs when I went into the boutique. I wanted a optimum or resonance. But that wasnāt an option form them as first watch.
regarding first Journe
Went to LA Boutique yesterday. I did not realize that smooth surface without guilloche CS and new matte blue guilloche CS have beautifully raised gold or platinum Arabic numerals. This for me added a beautiful depth to the dials presence. Kenny was extrem...
Yes that is indeed very nice.
I am curious to see how the blue of the dial will turn out. I like it also in RosƩgold but finally will go for Platin as I think it will be more versatile.and fits better with my wardrobe.
Very interesting.
So they told you to choose 2 from this list? What happened exactly? I am researching as I will be traveling out soon for my first visit.

There is sno chance for an elegante or a chronometre bleue. Simply due to the fact that people keep asking for them, because they want to make a quick buck. Every boutique might be different tough. I would like to own both of them at some point. Well basi...
Yes same at all stores. It has been the sad reality for a while.
But you have some really good options to begin your journey with and those are in reality some of the very best of the brand that are more versatile than the oregano āspecialā. Aka a lot more wrist time and enjoyment.
So the most entry level is the CS?
And those are around 50k right now at MSRP? Very interesting. I thought the elegante would be for sure since they produce more than all the mechanical watches combined. I do love the Lune though as well as the boutique CS. Both absolute classics
Not exactly...
Yearly Journe production is 800-900 mechanical watches and ~400 Elegante's.
"Every boutique might be different tough"
Journe allocations are not boutique dependent. Their set rules are the same worldwide.
strap size for CB & LN 40mm?
Curious if anyone knows as I love custom straps with contrast stitching-what is taper width of strap at deployant end and is it identical for both models which both have a lug width of 20mm. Some say 19mm but I am curious especially for CB tantalum deploy...
