Thanks Mark
You know... I purposely chose those odd photos of the dial to offer a different expression of the watch... I know this is the Purists... and I really admire those extraordinary photographers among us... but I kept seeing 'the same' photo of the CS everywhere, essentially the same photo, taken by many different people. The watch dial is so dynamic, so unlike any other I have ever seen, I wanted to take a little leap and just show some pics that made me smile... on the other hand... as I said to Gary... I just got a new and vastly better camera than I had when taking these pics... so... let's see what the future holds!
Chronometre Bleu
Hi guys, Something new. The Journe CB made my mouth water the moment I saw it. This blue dial can simply never be captured in any pic. It’s like looking into a deep chromium blue mirror. Or a blue liquor drink… with a splash of cream and mercury… If the C...
Thanks Oliver
This is the first dress watch in years that I had to have. I think because it is so unusual in every way... and that it can be worn casually. I tend to be 'cautious' when I first get a watch... love? I never know til I keep a watch for a couple years... b...
Thanks Playtime!
I got a little passionate! But if you can't find passion for watches like this... maybe you don't have any!
Enlightenment, Mostel?
Congratulations on a great F.P.Journe. I enjoyed your poetic words very much and I always love it when another Purist reaches enlightenment. I have long since decided that when it comes to F.P.Journe, you either 'get it' or you don't. There never seems to...
Andrew, I've always admired Journe
But none of his designs were ever 'mine'. The foremost collectors in my acquaintance all own Journes, or several Journes. And I've always been blown away by his excellence at all levels. I admire these men, so I pay attention to their choices in watches, ...
As the others wrote....
it must be love.... Congratulations on getting a beautiful watch... Your words demonstrate a passion that Journe owners have..... As Andrew said, one either loves Journe watches or does not.... I was close getting a CB but plans changed... However I am st...
Thanks PP
I hope plans return to their previous state so you can own this one. I'm deeply pleased with it.
Thanks Donizetti
Yes, I guess I was waxing a bit... I love talking about watches, so also love writing words about them, naturally.
Splendid!
That's a beautiful piece, Mostel! And you are clearly very, very pleased with it -- congratulations. I would love to have an opportunity to photograph this watch! Best, Gary G
Thank you Gary
Well, perhaps there will come a time when you can photograph my watch--I have little doubt you will do abetter job than me! Anyway, it would be a pleasure if we could get together at some point, to do that. Perhaps a GTG. But wait! I got a new camera... a...
Wow...
I quite literally just finished posting about this piece on another forum, and this is the first post I stumble onto here! What are the odds? Now, not only does it haunt my dreams, but apparently my waking moments as well. But seriously, while dress watch...
Thank you Adam!
It's always 'haunting' when a watch follows you around like this. I too do not wear dress watches all that much... and little by little sold virtually all of my dress watches... but this watch.... it's just one of a kind. This may be the first watch that ...
Agreed...
As beautiful as this piece is in pictures, they simply don't do it justice. I've been back to the boutique twice to try it on, and I'll probably head back over again next week. No, I don't have the funds on hand to buy one now, but like a moth drawn to a ...
Really beautiful FP Journe here !
First pictures are a bit blurry but the watch looks very good overall ! The dial is really eye-catching.
Thanks Mark

Thanks Alex
Such a unique watch--grounded in tradition. Appreciate the well wishes very much.
