Thanks so much Christian.
I have actually been part of this community for a few years now (also see M-Scott). I somehow accidentally modified my profile on my phone and created a second profile that appears as though I am a new member...(Oops..one of the benefits of getting older). I began collecting watches about 8 years ago. I quickly became interested in the Independent watchmakers especially FP Journe.
Keep up the great work as the FP Journe moderator! Happy Sunday to you as well.
Cheers!
Thank goodness it’s Francois-Paul Friday!
Posting this as my wife is mixing me a gin tonic, I wish you all a happy weekend! - Please join me in posting your FPJ watch 🍸 I love to go back to the Chronometre Souverain. It is a cornerstone in my watch collecting life. I still think this is one of th...
Yes thanks goodness
Still on my wrist the whole week Had my son snap a pic (he thinks I’m nuts lol) ...
I always smile when you post it, Mo 😊👍
It looks absolutely perfect on your wrist. Thanks for sharing this. I hope you will have a wonderful weekend with your family 😊
Great post, and I think you have the best version of it.
I would one day like to add an FPJ to my collection.
Thank you, Michael 😊
That’s what I think as well. I hope you will find yours one day. I think FPJ would make sense in your collection when I think about some of your pieces. HAGWE dearest friend 👍
Christian, Thank you for sharing this story.
It’s so true that the focus of our thoughts and passions lead us in a particular direction in life. How fortunate we are to pursue the things that make us happy! HAGWE ...
My pleasure, Bill
I think your remark is a perfect addition to my story! ...YES! Aren’t we lucky!! I wish you a wonderful weekend, my friend. Christian
This CS is THE one I think of since long, probably too long...
Do you think I should pull the trigger my friend ? Would it suit my style and collection ? Tell me...
Yes, Mike. I do! :-)
You have a lot of experience as a collector, so you know the answer is in the heart of course. If you ask me, I think you have curated your collection carefully and I see a place for the CS in your style. I think you should go and talk to our common frien...
Thanks for your kind words my friend. In that case...
I can now confess that it has been taken care of very recently thanks to another common friend...😉 ...
Huge congratulations, Mike 😄👌it looks great on your wrist
I hope You will e as happy as I am with the CS. I think it’s a classic already. Enjoy your weekend with your wonderful watch. Bes C
Agreed. The proportions of the case of the Octa pieces in 38 mm are really good
Not to mention the narrow bezel 👌
Lovely Abe. This case and dial combination is one of lesser seen and I think it’s beautiful.
I am not the biggest fan of negative space on Journe dials and so the retrograde date here has always been something that drew me to this reference.
A nighttime shot.
Re Christian’s original comment, I too think the CS is the perfect anchor for any collection or any Journe collection. There are sufficient variants of the CS to meet anyone’s taste I think. Personally I’ve always been drawn to the white gold dials with t...
I too have been drawn to the white CS lately, Jay
I love it’s cool simplicity. In the beginning I found it too cold but I think now I was wrong. It has a ore modern feel. Still I will not change it for the one I have. To me that is still the original and I love it’s more classic look. If I had a money tr...
Hi, it’s the 40.
Mine is a very old one. One of the first from 2006. It’s extremely versatile regarding straps.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Scott, and a very warm welcome to you here!
It’s magical when dreams come true. Life can be amazing at times I adore your Repetition and I love the way you wear it in the more casual orange. Very, very cool. 👌 Please tell us a little about yourself and watch passion. I see that you have posted some...
Thanks so much Christian.
I have actually been part of this community for a few years now (also see M-Scott). I somehow accidentally modified my profile on my phone and created a second profile that appears as though I am a new member...(Oops..one of the benefits of getting older)...
Sorry, of course. And your profile name seemed familiar as well ...
and you have made some fantastic posts here in the FPJ forum. I have too much going on these days to think straight. I will ask Bill if he can merge your profiles as there is a policy against having two profiles. (I know you had no bad intentions ) Keep w...
