F.P. Journe is one of those cases where "if it ain't broke don't fix it" meets a man that's like "I'mma try and fix it anyway". That among his charity, motivation to be involved in everything he does, and the way the Journe boutique's treat their employee's and customers all like family is why I will always love F.P. Journe.
@@Lillith_sv I'm no quartz snob. I have and wear grand seiko and longines quartz watches. But I feel dirty thinking about a fpj quartz.. Imagine buying an als, with a quartz movement. How could you!
I had the privilege to see this watch in person and handle it two weeks ago. All I can say is that it is absolutely spectacular. Sure, I'd have to sell my car over 30 times to get one, but it would definitely be worth it.
I've been buying & selling watches for decades privately without knowing much about there history & inner workings. Your videos give such detail & insight at 77 I am now able to appreciate their history & complexity. So perhaps you can teach an old dog new tricks ? Brilliant one of the best of your always great offerings. thanks Andrew
Best and clearest explanation of a tourbillon yet. I almost got it this time! It’s both amazing and brilliant - but not sure I’d want to pay that much for a watch that people would look at and say “Oh, it’s a quartz fake - second hands on mechanical watches don’t tick like that”! 😳🤣
Please make sure you have the highest quality when watching the video... also the information you get about horology is great. A lange has something similiar with reseting the secconds hand
As usual, another fabulous video and this time about my favorite brand. I have had the pleasure to meet FP in person and even have dinner with him. He was extremely pleasant but the language barrier did not allow for real communication and perhaps that is why he seems distant. Next time, I am bringing my French speaking friend to help me communicate!
What "heritage" does is establish a baseline of expectations, which is occasionally useful for consumers. When the watch speaks for itself, and exceeds any possible expectation, heritage is superfluous.
I understand your point but can’t say I agree. With heritage comes expectation as well as ‘fit’ in terms of what that brand and its heritage stands for. It means that where a brand with heritage does something different, it is forgiven if not quite the best. Like how BMWs heritage centres around compact sports saloons, but people will buy the 7 series and forgive it for not being the best limo all round (the S-Class). Lexus tried to muscle in and scientifically did all the limo things - quietness, comfyness, etc - better than both 7 and S-Class but it’s lack of heritage was its downfall.
Great video explaining how this watch works and the different technologies that make it the tour de force that it is. FP Journe should use this as a marketing video. Well done!
Got sucked into the watch captivated a third of the way of the video, and only realised I was no longer listening actively to the voice-over when the video ended. Illustrious magnificence.
I've loved these watches for a long time time now. I feel like Journe doesn't get enough credit for his innovations and the sheer elegance of his watch faces.
@@CJ-rb3do They are rumors, so maybe it's true, maybe it isn't. Still love his philosophy in watchmaking, inspiring from old watchmakers problems and trying to solve them in an elegant way. Also I love his watches' style, simple but remarquable.
Mesmerizing video as always. I walked by one of your locations in Canary Wharf not so long ago. I can't wait to walk in there to purchase something special, hopefully in the not so distant future. Ever since I started following your channel, I know where I'm going to shop for timepieces. Thanks again, great content! :)
Brother, your every word gave justice to Sir. F. P. Journe obsession. Also, not only you showed me some great and affordable watches but also taught me some beautiful English.
I love this channel, i don't have the money to buy these watches but i am more about the technology and not the brand and the way this channel parts information to the viewer, i love it. Nice to see someone share the same passion for tech.
Hey can you do a video on A. Lange & Söhne Datograph up/down lumen , i cant find any other videos on that beautiful watch! Thanks man , love your videos.
The way u speak, the way u stitch up ur words , u are an motivational speaker and a watch enthusiast, wish to meet u someday. Greetings from India, hope u are in sound health...
As always, an exceptional video. Even watch manufacturers can't market the features of a watch as you do. Please compare it with Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Grand Voyage II
Ok. 1: excellent explanation of why a tourbillon is useless in a wristwatch (honey jar). 2: now I have to take back my insistence that there is no wristwatch with a useful tourbillon in it. What an amazing creation! Great video as usual.
Can I ask you to make your videos available in 1440p? Currently 1080p is the maximum you offer. You camera work is so amazing, so detailed, so incredible that you'd really make my day if you offered higher definition. That and 1440p (2560x1440) resolution monitors are becoming very common these days.
Fabulous craftsmanship, unrivalled engineering and engrossing history. These vignettes are a joy to watch (no pun intended). Do you write your own copy and perform the necessary research? On a technical note, how does the accuracy compare with a 'normal' watch such as a Zenith?
There are many great watches to choose from but history will prove how important FP Journe was to horologyI, If there are people that still love watches in the future Journe's will be the equal of the finest Patek's , what a incredible gift he truly is.
I did not get this watch at all when it was released. But when I saw it in Geneva, that angled mirror blew my mind 🤯 If I could own a tourbillon, or just one FP Journe, this would be it.
What a beautiful watch and what a great narration on how it works. I had no idea so much thought when into that piece. I figured all tourbillions were useless complications. FP Journe literally made a problem so he could fix it. Reminds me of when I eat a 3 pound burrito so I could feel the bliss of emptying my bowels.

That honey metaphor for the tourbillon was brilliant. I love it.
Minute?
Imagine people actually pay more for a Richard Mille smh 😅
😂
Richard Mille..a plastic watch.
So what? Two completely different watches you can’t compare them
RM, its a cosmetic.
When that yellow or green color catches someone's eyes, you can brag to them how much the watch costs.
F.P. Journe is one of those cases where "if it ain't broke don't fix it" meets a man that's like "I'mma try and fix it anyway". That among his charity, motivation to be involved in everything he does, and the way the Journe boutique's treat their employee's and customers all like family is why I will always love F.P. Journe.
If it ain't broke - break it and fix it in a new way
F.P.J. is definitely one of my grails, but REAL grails, meaning it's unattainable 😂
Would love for you to review an FPJ. Any chance this can happen soon?
The Elegante that is my personal grail from FPJ is not a preposterous price at 12K, and it actually will blow people's mind when they see it work
Well they do have a cheaper options.
@@Lillith_sv I'm no quartz snob. I have and wear grand seiko and longines quartz watches.

How could you!
Hi Watch Geek, just found out your channel. Awesome content. Keep up the good work.
"Why go for sensible when you can go for preposterous?"
“Why settle for sensible if you can push for preposterous”
😂😂😂
I had the privilege to see this watch in person and handle it two weeks ago. All I can say is that it is absolutely spectacular. Sure, I'd have to sell my car over 30 times to get one, but it would definitely be worth it.
What's it worth, 100k?
@@sushimshah2896 $240,000 according to the sales representative I spoke with.
@@kevinpfurtado Seems a bargain really
thats exactly what a friend of mine paid for a Richard Mille recently. I'd much rather buy this one instead
@@wxonwxoff Same.
Thank you for your stories... This is by far the best storytelling on youtube
And yet again, for the umpteenth time,you've left me both speechless and spellbound.... kudos to you ....
Ok, I need to understand how you prepare for these videos. The level of research combined with the fluid delivery is impressive.
I'm just enthralled with your narration skills, and the beautiful imagery that you guys provide on each video. B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!

I showed this video to my g-shock. Now the second hand is sweeping 36000 bpm… digitally
Sirs, your close-ups are absolutely wonderful.
That moment where you read “tourbillon” and you just know you’re not buying this watch.
The "FP Journe" gave it away much sooner
The narration, use of language, the simple uncluttered elegance of your videos keep me addicted to reviews by Watchfinder & Co. Briiliant!!
Fantastic video - thanks for showcasing such an incredible feat of engineering and explaining it so well. straight to top 5 of your catalogue
Every time I think that your videos cannot get any better, you go and prove me wrong... Bravo!
Best and clearest explanation of a tourbillon yet. I almost got it this time!
It’s both amazing and brilliant - but not sure I’d want to pay that much for a watch that people would look at and say “Oh, it’s a quartz fake - second hands on mechanical watches don’t tick like that”! 😳🤣
You guys always make great videos but this one is one of those truly exceptional ones, very well scripted and shot.
Please make sure you have the highest quality when watching the video... also the information you get about horology is great. A lange has something similiar with reseting the secconds hand
The Genius is you, who made us understand and value those historical icons!
Thank you for incorporating history lessons of horology in most of your videos. You have a great talking voice and the video quality is unmatched.

He was extremely pleasant but the language barrier did not allow for real communication and perhaps that is why he seems distant.

This is one of your best videos. Thank you very much!
Unbeliveable video, as always. I love this channel so much! No better watch content out there.
“Heritage” is overrated. I’ll take a special watch from a special watchmaker over heritage any day.
Totally agreed💯👌
this is probably why richard mille is so popular lmao
What "heritage" does is establish a baseline of expectations, which is occasionally useful for consumers.
When the watch speaks for itself, and exceeds any possible expectation, heritage is superfluous.
I mean yeah, but reputation isn't. You would not pay 100k for a no name watch brand
I understand your point but can’t say I agree. With heritage comes expectation as well as ‘fit’ in terms of what that brand and its heritage stands for. It means that where a brand with heritage does something different, it is forgiven if not quite the best. Like how BMWs heritage centres around compact sports saloons, but people will buy the 7 series and forgive it for not being the best limo all round (the S-Class). Lexus tried to muscle in and scientifically did all the limo things - quietness, comfyness, etc - better than both 7 and S-Class but it’s lack of heritage was its downfall.
"Why settle for sensible if you can push for preposterous!" -- that alliteration probably describes this watch in a sentence.
Beautiful video! Your storytelling and voice is supreme and captivating! Thank you for another great video. 😊

One of the most brilliant watch videos, I have ever seen. Thank you.

I've loved these watches for a long time time now. I feel like Journe doesn't get enough credit for his innovations and the sheer elegance of his watch faces.
I never knew journe's backstory... Thanks to watchfinder and co. he's my idol now...
Arya Ghadi he’s not the best company. The rumors around is that he’s a jerk. Mean to his workers and just an old fart. But, who cares? He’s a master.

He's a douche, unfortunately
@@CJ-rb3do The same can be said of such people including Jobs & Musk who are on another level
Wait until you read about Abraham Breguet, he makes F.P. Journe look like an amateur.
LOVE your videos...........extremely educational and a pleasure to watch. Thank you
JLC's gyrotourbillon is like: hold my beer.
JLC is natural ice. This is fine wine.
rzezniqq Agreed. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpetuel is my ‘if I could have one’ watch.
How bout the new MBnF eh?😳😳
And Greubel Forsey tourbillons.
Was going to write this comment myself. This watch in its essence merely changes the position of the tourbillon.
Mesmerizing video as always. I walked by one of your locations in Canary Wharf not so long ago. I can't wait to walk in there to purchase something special, hopefully in the not so distant future.

Superb video. Simply awesome watch. Ohhh the feeling of having one of those...
Brother, your every word gave justice to Sir. F. P. Journe obsession. Also, not only you showed me some great and affordable watches but also taught me some beautiful English.
Just great! Thank you very much for observing FP Journe with the proper explanation. I learned much from it. Thank you again, keep it up !!
The video quality is as good as the watch. There is so many wonderful creati0ns. This is so fascinating
Is there a behind the scenes video? All your videos are so soothing to watch and has so much detail 👍
Amazing video as always.Congrats . I wonder how much do we have to wait for a review for an Akrivia watch? Hopefully not much.
Nice video. I enjoyed learning the history of this watchmaker.
Another great video about a great watchmaker. Thank you!
Thanks for this education in horology! Neat watch strap attachment curving around the dial like that! A perfect blend of art + science.
Thank you for your superb, well-researched, and well-articulated commentary 👍

Awesome watch. The fonts are fantastic. Every style n detail is unique and cared for. What a genius

Impressive! I'm speechless. This is an absolute marvel of engineering.
Your description is brilliant.
7 dislikes from Rolex owners. An "exclusive" brand which makes 800,000 watches every year.

An excellent video. Thank you Watchfinder.
What a video 👌 I watched it twice in a row. Great insight into the Journe manufacture. 👏👏👏
Wonderfully Made, the watch and this video!
Great back story and explanation of this special timepiece
This channel is pure love
Wonderful..as expected..a true poetry for a contemporary Breguet (and Berthoud?) genius.
Thank you, Watchfinder!!
They’re unbelievably beautiful watches and my favorite brand.
THIS Tourbillon will be one of the most desired watches EVER MADE.
Fantastic vid thank you
Outstanding video 👍
Watchfinder referencing Bloodhound is the best thing I heard today 🏎️🔥🔥🔥
I'm very much looking forward to seeing the A.Lange & Söhne Odysseus on here.
Could you please do a video about watches with exhibition case backs at different price points. Thanks
Thank you for this video, great content!
I have a FPJ CS Havanna PT. The most beautiful watch ever made! Im referencing the movement! Now Im addicted and sold on FPJ.
What microphones are you guys using ?
Exceptional piece, an incredible story in watch making, Journe and Lange both outstanding stories and so desirable.
It's a pleasure and you are very welcome SIR GEE
Thunderous applause for another monumental presentation.
With everything going on right now...
This, is a real breath of fresh air.
Cheers WF!
As always, an exceptional video. Even watch manufacturers can't market the features of a watch as you do. Please compare it with Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Grand Voyage II
We should reevaluate the top 3. Lange and Journe are just toooo good
my two personal favourites.
Great video ,if only I could afford one ,beautiful timepiece,thanks 👍🏴
It's very beautiful !! I like a linear sweep hand, rather than a quartz like second advance...

Incredible! The video production value matches the watch production value!
I wouldn't wear it because the second hand doesn't sweep 😂😂😂 This thing is just epic, as your videos always are! Tnx!

Buying a watch from him while he is alive is akin to buying a painting from Picasso when he was alive. His watches will only go up in value
I truly love these stories. Thank you
