F.P. Journe

Had the Resonance on yesterday as I was meeting another forum member. And of course I had another watch in my bag, never show up with just one! Something which I like very much about this forum, and has been further enforced by almost everyone here that I

this one leaves me remarkably cold. I do acknowledge the technical ingenuity and craftmanship which are as outstanding as in any other Journe. But I struggle to grasp the concept. Why add a minute repeater to a watch dedicated to astronomocal complication

This is an issue special to the Resonance. No other FPJ model (maybe not even any other watch in the world) has this distinctive crown at this position. Winding is needed every day. If you understand the Resonance and the underlying principle, the process
