While Journe prices seem to be climbing at somewha While Journe prices seem to be climbing at somewhat alarming rates, it brings me right back to pieces like this that just didn't get the right buzz through the years.
I'm always one to look for value and underappreciated pieces and something like this Octa Lune makes it a steller piece on the lookout.
It's beautiful, rare as a Journe typically is and seems to be a good fetch compared to the other prices we see.
Property of a good friend.

There is a very fine line between another time-onl There is a very fine line between another time-only watch and a truly exquisite time-only watch with tremendous character. For me, that's the definitive challenge that makes a true "artist".
This is also my favorite version of the Chronomètre Souverain.
What other time-only watches do you think make the cut (nothing beyond a power reserve)?

So since March, most of you know that I've been we So since March, most of you know that I've been wearing the same watch daily and I've come to realize that I no longer have any internal "need" to own more than one good timepiece. I no longer have an urge to keep changing my watch every day or week. I am quite content with one great watch that meets almost all that I want in something to wear.
So now I ask you; what have you learned about your watch life during these last few months, if anything? Please share 👇

At a time where everyone obsesses over tiny detail At a time where everyone obsesses over tiny details, this is the most consistent joy I've had with a watch for so long.
99 pieces, all the same, all rare, and all representing a crucial point in the history of F.P.Journe.
And yes, I enjoy this over the most cause it is still valued well for what it is.

From one of my previous posts, it seems the majori From one of my previous posts, it seems the majority of people voted for the Ruthenium Tourbillon.
So here she is, although admittedly I haven't worn this piece in a long time now 😜😜

A special timepiece for a special friend! @shani.w A special timepiece for a special friend!
@shani.watch latest acquisition is a Chronomètre Optimum with a very unique dial, blended by his admiration for the ruthenium collection; a touch of François-Paul's idea at something he never did before; subtle hints of a limited edition CS; and a special mark of "S" denoting a project requested by and made for someone very specific. It doesn't get more personal than this 🥰🥰
