Is it just me, or did anyone notice Laurent come alive once he realized how knowledgeable Teddy was about the movements? What an excellent and mesmerizing video. Thanks crew! 🙏🏼
There was also the moment with the offset rotor, where he initially said it was an illusion where he looked like he wanted to get a 'gotcha' moment.
Without O’Leary, Teddy had a chance to spread his wings a bit
@@motosessions Such a relief to not have the ghoul O'Leary interjecting every 5 seconds to gush about the "investment" value of the watch.
I noticed that too!
100% even his personality mimics the branding - 'if you know you know" - you have to earn your right to have the conversation
Congrats, Teddy. This conversation with Laurent Journe--horological content, interviewing skill, filming/editing--is a wonderful milestone. 🎬👏
Thank you for this very kind comment. I am very pleased with how this turned out.
@@TeddyBaldassarre Ditto....
I must highlight the interviewing skills! Laurent seemed like enjoying his time. Exceptional work Teddy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Back in maybe 2015 or so, I, as a 20-year-old walked into their boutique in NYC, just to look at their watches in person. I couldn't afford anything in there, but they were so nice and accommodating with their time, and let me try on quite a few pieces including the chronomètre bleu. Really made me fall in love with their brand. Hopefully one day I will be able to own one... now just to join the waiting list.
AMAZING video. I shared it to WatchCrunch because I hope more people take the time to watch and appreciate.
& On another note, Minute Repeaters are my favorite complication ever. I don’t know what it is about them, just the coolest thing ever to me.
Gotta be patient 😉
work hard and you'll get there
You have shown us many watches over the years, but what you have shown us today is something very special thank you.
Very much agreed.
not sure if its just me, but of all the watch brands out there, FP Journe is just.... different
Teddy, this is a phenomenal interview. I’ve seen a bunch of interviews regarding FP Journe but the interviewers always just fawn over the watch and don’t really explain anything, as if just eating up the hype. I actually learned a lot from this, amazing job!
Fantastic to hear. That is what I wanted from this discussion. No hype, just an appreciation of the art of the craft.
@@TeddyBaldassarre love your work Teddy! Keep it up, it’s a testament to success via knowledge and expertise instead of hype and nonsense.
The way Laurent talks about François reminds me of a bond villain where at the end you learn that he was actually François the whole time.
Insane, literally insane. I know FP Journe as a brand but to be able to do an interview at this level it is insane. Congratulations senor Teddy
This was such a great interview. Laurent is so passionate and knowledgeable, and you obviously did your research in advance so you were ready with great questions to get him talking and great insights to add yourself to probe for more. The whole thing just felt really authentic and enjoyable. Really well done here Teddy. Interviewing isn't easy, especially with big personalities in play, and you absolutely nailed the handling of this one. You could feel Laurent's change in comfort from initially thinking this was going to be just another surface deep interview to realizing you were giving him a platform to nerd out about the details he loves and that you were following along the whole time. By the end of it Laurent was obviously enjoying himself tremendously and really leaned into the role of presenting all this detail. You gave him a chance to shine and he sure did, but so did you for your part. Again, very well done. Loved this interview. Keep up the great work.
Well said. completely agree
Teddy presents his content at a different level. Classy without being snobbish or elitist. I will never be able to afford a piece like this. But Teddy presents it in a way that I can be a part of the club, even if only from a distance.
"1/100th of a sec, who does that? Nobody, but its cool" Honesty makes the best answer. Also the science behind the Chronometre A Resonance, is pretty cool they both escapement self regulate by nudging each other. It was Christiaan Huygens who observed that his 2 pendulum clocks would sync when they were both hung on the same board.
Doesn't zenith do this?
Zenith does, but I was qouting the video
Great interview Teddy. I was in LA a few months ago, and Laurent was kind enough to give me 10 min of his time (boutique was packed) and he brought 2 of his personal pieces and it was incredible, listening about his perspective of the watches, the brand and where are the going. It was incredible experience. He was such a gentleman and the fact that he let me try 2 of his personal watches speaks greatly about him and him as a ambassador of the brand
That's a wonderful experience!
A lot of people give Teddy grief, and make fun. But wow! There are very few RUclips channels that exceed the sheer horological knowledge, depth, and insight. And the fact that you continue to get great guests and collaborators on your videos. The TB channel continues to be a worthwhile investment in time for anybody that is interested at all, even marginally, in watches.
FP Journe. This is just at another level. Perfect mix of beauty, design and engineering
Great interview. The contrast between this and the Producer Michael video / the last one where Kevin was being super brash and talking about investment value is night and day. I know different people like different things but this is the kind of Teddy content I love to see! Classy classy stuff.
Teddy: Introduce the brand to newcomers.
Laurent: Everything is sold out.
HAHA! Yea, I don't think he quite understood the first question Teddy threw at him.
TBH That is the brand identity. Instead of saying this is a highly sought after and exclusive watch brand they just simply say.. you can't get it. It's the best sales method.
Hey Teddy, just wanted to take a minute and tell you that this might not be your most watched video, but it was the one I have appreciated the most. I will never be able to afford an FP Journe, but as a watch enthusiast this type of videos are my favorite. Thanks!
17:43 what a wonderful minute repeater and breakthrough for dedicated power reserve for the hammer chime alone
Laurent seems like a tough dude and you managed to conduct a fantastic interview. Thank you!
This was a tremendous video for us watch geeks and really so cool to have this focussed view with such a legendary maker. Congratulations on this, Teddy!
This is my favourite watch brand. They are just amazing. Any model is a true holy grail
F.P. Journe is one of my favorite brands. I got into the watches back in the late 1990s when they were more affordable and accessible. Then it was a small horology house in Geneva, Switzerland. They also made affordable tourbillon watches.
This was awesome. Thank you, Teddy B.
Great episode. Thank you. Last month I met Laurent and the team members at the boutique. After a pleasant sit down, Q & A session and having the opportunity to get educated on the brand and experiencing them first hand, I put my name down for a Chronometre Souverain Havana in rose gold. I “passiontly” await it’s arrival. Cheers!
Can’t wait to meet you at the Grand Seiko event today!
Don’t be a stranger! See you there.
Grand seiko event? New pieces? I’m in the market for a grand seiko, should I maybe wait a few days or weeks?
Teddy Baldassarre, 11:46 It's great to follow this conversation about this incredible watch maker. There must be others who merit a video about their pieces. The top people at Rolex, Patek, VC etc. I'm sure there is an audience for such videos.
Kevin O'Leary's salivating profusely right now
This interview - what is being showcased, and I mean not just the timepieces, but the emotion - is why I love watches. Truly an excellent conversation, Teddy!
Wonderful interview Teddy. The vision, art, engineering and quality of this brand is breathtaking. True pieces of art and craftsmanship. While I will never be able to afford a timepiece like these, I enjoy seeing and learning about them. Thank you for your continued in-depth content!
Never say never bro
I can’t agree more than Laurent on his point of everything is possible just be patient. Me personally was on waitlist for CB nearly 4 years and finally got it just in 2022. Considering the current demand and market on the brand, I completely understand why it takes longer than people’s imagination of how long it takes to being able to purchase one. I feel blessed for owing my first FPJ piece and I will continue to support the brand in the future. More importantly, the delivery of my CB proves that the brand’s words count! Just be patient, good things come to those who wait!
There's something so special about the hands and numerals that tell you it's a Journe
Just rewatched this again after a while. Feels to me like the reincarnation of A. L. Breguet with a modern twist. Thanks for the great interview Teddy, we love this!
I gotta say it…Teddy has the best watch channel on YT. He’s the king 👑.
Eh, i guess... Not much content on the budget side of things though, i wish there was more.
FP Journe... My bucket list..... Ive seen the Japan boutique multiple times and it's just incredible. Just such artisans
FP Journe has been my favorite brand since its beginning -- there's just something about the aesthetics that really appeals to me. I (think I) remember when a Resonance in steel was just over $20K, around 2000 or so. Now -- well not so much (I see a gold version for $100K on Chrono 24). At the time I was working for a technology company (Xilinx) and my thought was "when the stock gets to "x" I'm gonna get one (I had stock options from a company I worked for getting acquired). Well that never happened and the stock fell a looong way. So no FPJ for me.
Great video, Teddy. I really enjoyed it.
I really like the font of the numbers 👌🏻 this is a much better video than the one with Kevin 😂
A great conversation between Teddy with Laurent, some great insights to the brand. The latter part of sowing the seeds of an idea for a skeleton dial was very interesting. A brand that I may not have the chance to purchase at this time but I can certainly appreciate the time and effort that goes into these pieces,
This is a great interview and Laurent is such a great personality. Serious about watchmaking, but also so much fun.
Mind-blowingly beautiful watches. A treat for the eyes - Bravo on a totally brilliant video.
most enjoyable episode.
Teddy did an excellent interview with Laurent. F. P. Journe is truly a master artiste watch maker, just like a Rembrandt or Michel Angelo was in their art forms! I wanted Teddy to ask Laurent what will happen to the brand after F. P. steps aside. Is there a succession plan, and will the brand keep artisans on staff to repair these one of a kind designs?
Amazing interview, You could tell Laurent Journe enjoyed every bit of it 💯
Going to Geneva this year for my Honeymoon. I would absolutely love to visit their boutique in Geneva FP. Journe is by far my favorite watchmaker but I can never afford it !
there are watches for tasteless rich people like RM and Jacob and there are also watches for rich people that have a great taste like F.P.Journe
Teddy I didn't know you have the power to bring back to live "dead people"... "Arrogant dead people" I would say
You gave a master class with this interview. You understood the star here were the watches so we can enjoy. Thank you
Didn't know this brand. This is phenomenal, passionately...
The holy trinity cannot touch Journe. Thanks Teddy for one of the best interviews yet.
This video is so good, so interesting, so educational and so passionate from both sides. Thanks, Teddy Baldessarre! Thanks Mr. Journe. Now I love this brand even more.
Teddy's suit game is on point.
I’m speechless. Wow! 😮 Absolutely amazing! Thanks for this video, Teddy!👏🏼👏🏼
For me personally, they are the most amazing watches in the world. Each one more stunning than the next
Fantastic interview! Very informative and educational. I walked into the LA boutique a few days ago and had the honor of meeting Laurent. I must say I felt a little nervous, as I still have a lot to learn about the mechanics of a movement. However, Laurent was very gracious, patient, and interesting to speak with. I walked out of the boutique, feeling like I had experienced something very special and unique. I hope one day I can own one of my own. Until then, I will be patient and continue to learn & admire these magnificent timepieces.
What a delightful conversation. Full of insights into this remarkable brand. Thank you, Teddy and merci, Laurent.
I cant get enough of this video
Teddy...you ROCK! You have knowledge, you have poise, you're a pro. Enjoyed this in-depth interview.
'100th of a second, who needs that? No one. But its cool!'
My goodness that Vertical Tourbillon is outstanding. I just started my watch collection, but so sad that unfortunately somethings will just always be out of reach>
Great Job Teddy. And Outstanding to see the caliber of guest you have on your channel. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much, Marco.
I don't know how it looks in reality but I am pretty sure that looking at that 1/100th of a second hand in a 24 fps (or around that) video does not do it justice
You are right. We should have snagged a few higher frame rate shots for an additional perspective. It is a magnificent.
Looks very fluent on that small dial though
“Everything is obtainable, you just need to be patient”
incredible... Absolutey breathtaking.
Amazing watches and conversation.
As an aside it's nice to see that someone still wears French cuffs and cufflinks. Don't see that much anymore. Something that needs to make a comeback.
Thank you Teddy for the interview with Laurent. Learnt a lot. I appreciate it
Crazy pieces, just wow.
Really good. I love the humility of admitting he doesn't know why the brand has become such a cult. The watches are really stunning.
I really enjoyed this! I had a good laugh when Laurent says how FPJ prefers designing integrated movements over modular and his comment, "I'm not a sandwich maker, I'm a watch maker". :)
Truly fascinating watching two connoisseurs of art educating us. Thanks for the video!
Teddy your knowledge is amazing! Thank you for hosting interesting people Movers and shakers in the world of horology.
I love F P Journe watches. Incredible work of art.
These really are pieces of fine art. It’s like walking around with a Monet on your wrist.
The idea of making the whole dial out of sapphire is genius! I thought it was an open dial and the crystal is a little foggy lol. But then he said the dial was transparent! How marvelous!
that part where Teddy holds the watch up to his mike should be the standard of joy in getting a new watch
“Im not a sandwich maker, I’m a watch maker.” You gotta love that!
My favorite watch brand.
12-39, give me my bonus points. Love it, what a watchmaker
Teddy ... thank you I will watch this over and over again.
12:39 was the time. Great video.
These Journe watches are Mechanical pieces of Art!! Absolutely beautiful
13:23 "100th of a second, who needs that?..... But it's cool"
FP Journe man… art 🖼️ ❤
Well done! For me FP. Journe is the pinnacle of watch making, integrating art and unparalleled innovation and balance. Then again there's JLC Grand Complication Reverso the Hybrus Mechanica Quadritype. Elvis has left the building. Hold my beer.
12:09 pm?
Every fp I have seen is a work of art
Spectacular episode!
My fav independent brand
Such a great video! Really cool you got to talk to Laurent.
The best video so far! Congratulations.
Did the minute-repeater chime 12:54?
On the Minute Repeater the time was 12:54
not the loudest one tho
The brand exploded because their product is exciting, innovative, beautiful and inspiring.
To some people a watch cannot do such things, but to the people who watch these videos and follow watches we know otherwise.
What a phenomenal video. Thank you
This was so much fun to see! Awesome watches, and even greater people!
Congrats Teddy.
And here I am convincing my wife I need a new Zelos... LOL
What a remarkable interview and video, gotta give it a like and a comment to boost this stuff! Great job Teddy.
Great interview to showcase the purity of craftsmanship and passion for horology. This is a wonderful showcase of just a few of the timepieces.
WHOA!! The design and engineering for these watches is mind blowing. I would be afraid to service the movements.
That Centograph! ❤️
2:55 "Everything is obtainable, you just have to be patient"
My grail watch. Thanks for the awesome video. Teddy
French accent talking about watches made me want to take a nap but I’m a good way hahaha
This video is a masterpiece. These are trully just amazing. Mindblowing
This one was amazing Teddy! Bravo
