F.P. Journe Chronometre Souverain Watch Available On James List
I could really use a little 'Journe' in my life, but the privilege don't come cheap.There is no per se "entry-level" F.P. Journe watch - that isn't exactly what the brand is about. You are supposed to earn up to a F.P. Journe - after you've toiled away earned and learning. Francois Paul doesn't want his watches on your wrist until you can fully appreciate them, and that takes some time being a watch nerd.

I had a blue 16613, and a LVC, and flipped them both in 3 months because the color got old for me. - Has a date. I ha
