Just for fun... JLC Duometre or Journe Centigraphe?
Guys, I've been really touring the watch world lately and not making very many hard decisions... this can certainly be attributed to the fact that I have sold about ten times the watches I have kept... so I keep 'touring'. I am VERY enamored of the Duomet...
Sorry I forgot my opinion
Duometre for me without a shadow of a doubt. The watch is a marvel,I tried it a few times ,its ingeniously crafted,clever layout and functions.Probably the best foudroyante I've seen.And the magic starts when you stars the Chrono button.Its simply a fasci...
i'm with Mo in this one. the Duometre in RG for me
i just do not understand the Centrigraphe and there's no point owning a watch i dont understand. i've worn the Duometre and it looks and feels fabulous. the detail is A1 and we know the workings will be faultless. its so easy to read and understand that i...
Well, that is a tough choice...
...especially as you removed price from consideration. The value/price ratio would probably tilt this decision secruely in teh camp of the Duometre. I had the opportunity to try on the Centigraphe this week. It was the first Journe I have ever handled -- ...
I am in the Duometre camp as well
although I find the Journe really fascinating. I am in the camp that agrees that 'real world applications' of complications do not matter. I will virtually never use any chronograph to measure anything of consequence. It is an aesthetic thing, a fascinati...
Journe always fascinates, and I like almost every...
...watch from his collection, including the Centigraph, but if asked to choose between the two watches in your post I'd have to go with the Duometre without reservation. There's an intensity about the dial that I really enjoy. Some may think the complicat...
Okay, I am squarely in the Duometre camp, too, but I do have one issue.
I've re-posted the pic Daos borrowed. The watch is amazing -- there is no dispute, but I wish that the hour numerals matched in font the rest of the numerals featured on the dial. The bold gold applied numerals seem, to me, a bit unrefined and a bit loud....
I'll Jump In Too. Centigraphe all the way for me!
Don't get me wrong. I love both these pieces. Each sits right at the top for me. But there is something much more special about the Centigraphe--both from the perspective of what it is and from the perspective of how it is made. Simply put the Centigraphe...
I think.....
that Blanpain does the same thing- one person makes the watch from begging to end. Cheers
I would take the JLC......
Although the FPJ will probably increase more in value % wise down the road. Tony
I just can't make any watch-decisions based on 'value' anymore
but I hear you, I hear you. Every watch I bought because of it's so-called value now or down the road never led the the destination of Joy.
I love my Journe..............
And would certainly get another one. But in the choice given, I would have to go with the Duometre. I much more prefer the layout of the dial as well as looking less busier.
it may surprise some, but I'd take the Nano... er, Centigraphe in this case
Hi Mostel, I'm not at all the target audience for this question as I really don't find either watch appealing, but if forced to choose, I'd go with the Centigraphe. I find the Duometre to be a huge amount of complication without much real innovation and l...
Tough choice..........
Between a Duometre and a Centigraphe both in Pt ? Think I would go Duometre and then buy the Tourbillon Souverain (one of my fav watches ever) that is the FP Journe watch I really want. About wearing right now, no doubt, Centigraphe all the way!!!!! Anywa...
