True, and I'm not a fan of the move to the larger case sizes (40-42mm from 38-40), and I don't like what he did to the Octa Divine, either.

I must buy a CB, though. And a Quantieme Perpetuelle. Oh, and a Remontoir. Just a small question of money...

Just sold the CB and keeping the CS. Don't like the bigger case but the bigger date window is sensible but not sure about the numerals. Tempt me with a Zodiaque.

Classic Journe checking in. 38MM (wears larger due to thin bezel and large dial) with brass movement.

True. The red/silver/black dial shown is not my cup of tea though.

In that case, it was no loss that you weren’t a fan back then.

This is a great thread. I don't have an FPJ . . . yet. I'm strongly considering the CS and the CB.

The only criticism I have of the CB (purely personal taste) is the numbering and the colour. Why cream I have no idea. Also I think at that price point and with the difficult metal and dial I think he shouldn't have used printing but rather applied. Perhaps in silver. Would have taken it to another level of a beautiful watch

Anyone here have a centigraphe sport or have experience with one? I have a CB but haven't worn it in a while due to dressing more casual a lot recently and I was thinking this could be a nice alternative

Where are the FPJ enablers?

My now 1 yr old CB: it deserves a lot more wrist time than it has been getting recently. Thinking about putting it on a red strap to spice things up

The brown strap looks awesome on the CB.

I love them all, but that is stunning.

Tourbillon, Remontoire and dead seconds all rolled into one beautiful watch.

It's beautiful and Mr. Journe is redesigning both it and his Chronometre Optimum, plus a watch with an as-yet undisclosed astrological complication will be announced.
