I've owned the Chronomètre Bleu in the past and now I own the Chronomètre Souverain in 38mm

For me, it's the Chronomètre Souverain hands down.  I'm temped to gush ad nauseam expounding my gleeful feelings for the watch.  

Instead I'll just shut up and post a lovely pic.  
Enjoy!

Best, Mahesh., ...  

I especially love

the recess on the power reserve indicator and the minute dial. Thanks for posting Mahesh. Before the Bleu, this model in 38mm was my favourite Journe

i agree the 38mm case was apt but at 40 it isn't too large either...

CB is flamboyant but CS is very elegant one imho ! Best, mahesh.,

i wouldn't be surprised...

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:21
but it is hard to let a CS go ;-)

I do love the CS a lot

Very elegant and a true classic imo

well chosen ! 38mm is a beauty !!

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:24
i did the same, CB to CS but then i went for adding the CB to CS - both are complementary in a way. Best, mahesh.,

Not so underrated ...

 
 By: Chromatic Fugue : December 20th, 2019-15:02
at least by me. I chose between the CS and the CB in 2010, when the latter was the less expensive "entry-level" piece I thought I'd buy, and I ended up buying the CS instead; I've never regretted that decision. Here's my RG 38mm version: ...  

Well said, mahesh!

Beautiful and underrated

i feel ppl don't realize it is much elegant FPJ...

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:27
so often end up chasing CB !

It might be the most underrated dress watch of any brand.

Beautiful dial, beautiful movement. Fantastic timekeeper. I prefer the rose gold but the platinum version is also a winner. Your choice to trade the Bleu for the CS makes perfect sense.

true my friend !

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:28
as i say above, the RG puts forward the elegance of this dial much better than Pt case.

you should try once & you would go the FPJ way ;-)

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:29
FPJ's has an unique character that is addictive and charming.

I love that this is the watch Journe gave to George Daniels

 
 By: Francoamerican : December 20th, 2019-20:14
I also love a power reserve on a chronometer inspired watch.

very true...i totally forgot that part of the story !

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:31
the PR is very useful than i initially thought of....also adds a bit of quirkiness !!

It's a beautiful watch

 
 By: batholith : December 20th, 2019-21:08
beautifully balanced in its simple elegance.

+1

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:32
can't agree more !

CB is a lot of hype....this is a true beauty [nt]

 
 By: Patekphilippecollector : December 20th, 2019-22:39

i think so too...CS is the quintessential Journe

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:33
then Resonance completes a ''Journe collection''

Love it Mahesh

I’ve fallen madly in love with FPJ. Wish I could own it all!

thank you ! with time i wish you would own it all !!

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:34
Journe is quite addictive too...

Lol thanks mate

 
 By: Mr.Gatsby : December 22nd, 2019-00:45
Owning all of it would be meaningless to me. Having a few watches would be good enough for me

ha ha....i wish you get yours in 2020 !

 
 By: mahesh : December 22nd, 2019-00:35
it is have been so long in the collection - i am afraid it may be replaced in coming years....

Agree 100% ! [nt]
