F.P. Journe

Some of you may remember this but I noticed something interesting about this Ruthenium Resonance. Before you say the second hands are not in sync, that is true but not what I'm referring to. Something else is different. Check out a before and after photo'...  

I've been staring at it for 5 minutes and other than the hour, minute, seconds hands being different, I can only see that the screws have been turned.

It's a subtle difference that is not completely obvious from the photo's but certainly more distinquishable in person. As a hint.. focus on the the subdials.

the one on the right in the before pic has thinner numerals. . . what did I win?

Exactly! While the photos aren't the best... the right subdial had much thinner numbers. This is caused by different amounts of pressure that may have been applied. In fact, the subdial was eventually switched to better match the left subdial. Win somethi... 

Just curious, was the dial switch done under warranty and how long did it take? It's great to know that FPJ accomodates their customers' requests even regarding the small details! Thanks and regards

with the best of my ability and imagination, maybe I could "see" this, but isn't that the whole raison d’être of hand-made? Now, I'll have to go find my Resonance to see if it's there as well..... Regards, MTF
