I have a nagging fascination with this watch and its unique mechanism. Could current owners comment on its performance? I assume the dry escapement increases the service period time significantly.
Ive had mine for a couple of years now.
I can only say I’m extremely, extremely pleased with mine. I can sometimes miss it so much that I will drop everything I’m doing to go pick it up from the bank vault. It feels like a very serious piece of Watch making. I need to be “in the zone” for that kind of watch but when I am, it gives me a lot of pleasure. Like sitting down to listen to a very special piece of music or enjoying a very good meal. It’s not for everyday, all round use, is what I think im trying to express.
Just after I took delivery of it, the performance was not within spec which was irritating, of course. It went back to Geneva and when I picked it up it was the way I should be. It’s a very difficult watch to adjust amd work on and it requires a very talented and patient watch maker. There are only very few watch makers within Montres Journe who can do it. This also means whenever they have to work on a CO, it has to go to Genèva.
I've had mine since May 2022...
And have enjoyed wearing it in rotation several times. Many times I just stare at it front and back and feel like it hypnotizes me...😉
This is the exact version I am lusting over!
The only current FPJ that sings to me. But for this Black Label, I‘d give half of my collection.
I share your nagging fascination
I've been turning to this for consolation but let me tell you: it doesn't always work!
Very Satisfied
Ive had mine for i think 3 years now, best watch I own. It doesn't have hacking seconds so I can't tell you exactly how it performs but its a serious piece of kit. For me, its the only watch I will ever need.
