I like these two.
I remember you having them together in NY, along with your Laine.
In the past I tended to overlook the Resonance, probably because my one encounter with it was with a watch that didn't work very well. And I think I am skeptical that this thing really does what it's supposed to (although I may have been misunderstanding the concept and how it actually does work). But while it's not the first watch I think of when I think "Journe" there is no arguing that it is, with the Tourbillon Souverain, the epitome of Journe. I won't bother telling you to wear it well, in health, with a smile, or to enjoy it. Quite sure all of that is taken care of.

The Unmistakable Resonance
The Resonance should be for all watch enthusiasts/collectors unmistakably Journe. It’s the reason I always answer “Resonance” to those questions about which watch most easily identifies the brands or which is Journe’s most defining piece etc. Also here yo...
Yes. But my assumption, which may be way off the mark, is that...
... for Chaykin while the Joker etc brought a higher global profile and surely cash flow he might wish to be more associated with his complicated watches and clocks.
I understand your point of view but the Joker brought him on the map for a lot of collectors.
I have been following him for many years and always visited him at BW . His other creations are marvels too imho.

Yes, I think you are right in recalling I took them out together before.
As we discussed before, the Resonance does appear to have been a temperamental old soul and so user experiences vary.
And you even have the original...
I agree with what you said , Jay. To me, the Resonance is the most iconic. I also know very sophisticated Journe collectors who say the Tourbillon. The clown I was lucky to see in Paris in December. I never understood it until I saw it. It just put a big ...
“Why not”, that’s exactly it.
I think that’s the right sentiment. Perhaps we need a little more of that. I think MB&F is built in large part on this same sentiment, if they ever stoped to think “why” we would have never seen those crazy Horological Machines.
Yes, great watches need inspiration
That doesn’t happen bu making a list of all the nice “ingredients”and putting them together. A vision is needed. Watches are not necessary- they have have to inspire us. If they don’t do that they are at best, expensive accessories or status symbols. I th...
