F.P. Journe

after an eternity of grey weather. It was an invitation to take a long walk with the F.P. Journe Chronometre Souverain to keep me company. One of my all time favorite watches in my collection. A great Sunday to everyone....

But I forgot to shoot it, as I was walking. But I just heard we will have an other day of good weather next month and I promise to shoot it then 😝😄

Thank you for your nice words, my friend.

Simply perfect

Mr. Journe made a sublime watch here. He managed to find his own original take on a simple chronometer watch. In fact, I think it offers a lot for the price you pay. And I need to emphasize just how accurate it is. It is dead sharp, with less than +1 sec/day on the wrist. 👌💪

The dial is also very good. 

The legend goes, that he started his design process with the layout of the dial. It is both harmonious and dynamic. I love how he shrinks the numbers instead of cutting them. A small detail I really fell in love with (I dislike cut numbers on watch dials)

And I have loved it ever since.
I am not the first owner. That was a very well respected collector who unfortunately passed away. Mine has a very low serial no. I dont know if it is the first batch, but  one of the first. I think it shows a little bit in the beveling, which is a bit more rough than the stanard today, and that the dial has a slightly darker color. One of the Journe staff claimed it was a slight oxidation. If thats true or not, I cant tell you.

That’s very interesting. Owner experience is always the best information in my opinion.

again, you are completely right, my friend. Its a small brand, and a small crowd. (relatively) But I hope we can get a good thing going here and learn from each other

Great quality that should be supported within our forum.  

Thank You for your support my friend!

Simple but beautiful- thank you 🙏

And congrats to you dear Christian for your well deserved appointment

Classic piece

Enjoy

It really is a classic. I never get tired of this watch. It was my daily piece for years, but the collection has since grown. I still wear it often as it is both versatile and elegant and super comfortable in the wrist.

Thank You so much for your words. It means a lot to me. But what is even better, is that I must congratulate you also!!!! I was so happy when I was told the news. We have an old appointment to meet in Paris. Let’s make it happen this spring 😊

Let’s save the date asap 😉
I look forward to it very much
Cheers
