I think that FP Journe and A. Lange & Söhne are the modern "holy duality"

[@mathieuvaillancourt3219]

Amen to that

[@jakobberner1765]

And maybe JLC for the trinity?

[@hans.lankamp]

@@jakobberner1765 yeah, I think they should be included too!

[@mathieuvaillancourt3219]

@@hans.lankamp people nowadays bash on on the shelves movements. The only thing is it's almost always eta. I wouldn't mind have a nice timepiece with a jlc movement for example.

[@hans.lankamp]

@@mathieuvaillancourt3219 yeah, I just think brands should stick to their core, either design-oriented or watch-oriented. I have no problem with design-oriented brands like cartier, but I would like them to stick to their principles

FP Journe and A. Lange &Söhne are my holy grial brands and my dream to achieve one day. Great review as usual !!

Your video scripts are pure poetry - a pleasure to listen to and a reminder of the joys of good spoken English.

[@niallschiefler8636]

Well spoken

[@thomasdawe1837]

Pure poetry might be a little excessive

no doubt

[@spitalul2bad]

I love that he/they took my or someone else's advice and actually show the other watches they refer to (besides the one that's the star of the video).

[@s0mar885]

To me it was always the fact that they didn't do it that made these videos so unique to me. But i guess it can be very annoying for most people. So i think its an improvment

[@lool12366]

he/they. How far PC culture has come

[@s0mar885]

@@lool12366 we don't know if these videos are produced by the host alone. Maybe there is a small team behind it

[@RiceNGravy]

@@s0mar885 Oh dear God! There's no way one person could produce all that. At least, there's a writer, a narrator and at least two people producing the video art. Don't you think? I've produced my own YT videos, albeit at a much lower grade, and I quickly learned it takes at least an hour to produce each minute of video.

[@DrKomodoKing]

Here is...the David Attenborough of watches.

[@helpmeinburning]

I saw FP Journe's Bleu yesterday and after looking at the rest of their pieces they are now my favourite brand

[@lmontoya70]

The story telling and writing were fantastic. Great video!

[@jackl.4738]

FP Journe, A Lange, and JLC is the true holy trinity.

[@yaaxarr8977]

Full Agree !

[@pejpm]

Check my videos..I’ve owned all 3. For me, JLC isn’t quite the same league in terms of finishing. My FPJ was amazing, but the Lange edges it for me. It’s absolute perfection.

[@adre819]

What about Breguet

[@sohamray908]

pejpm in my mind while Lange and Journe are in a different league for finishing, I think it deserves a spot beside the two for ingenuity and innovation.

[@ivancapuz9471]

Vacheron constantine, patek philippe... Anyone know what is the other one?

[@MrVoayer]

Materials, calibres, design, esthetics, execution... FP Journe ! In a class of its own !

[@brettbambouturton3117]

I really appreciate the videos that you make .. as a watch enthusiast, I'll never be able to afford some of these lovely time pieces..yet .. they're inspirational.

[@PAINTnPONG]

This video was outstanding. They all are, but this one was done particularly well, very nice work.

[@Sephiroth160584]

Beautiful watch but the day window could be under the 12. Watchfinder & co. superb videos and the voice perfect. Thanks a lot

[@litesaber54yi3]

FPJ is my favorite watch brand after learning about them in a review i read on them in the WSJ prob 10 years ago and then just deep diving into them . simply beautiful

[@willywombi]

Journe and breguet are my personal faves and with every good reason! Robust automatic timepieces!

[@watchguy79]

I love this video. Amazing quality and one of my absolute favorite watches. The close ups are great and same with the narration. Thanks for posting

[@lpg12338]

Very nice video, thanks for sharing!

[@killerterreur25]

Thanks for that video on FP Journe. FP Journe and A Lange are (to me) the best luxury watchmakers

[@jpatterson323]

I really enjoy the reviews on this channel. I would love to see one of the JLC Reverso Classic Duoface small seconds.

So happy to see that you are reviewing watch nerds Grail Watches. Would you please do one on Urban Jürgensen and Czapek. Thank you.

[@pietromar632]

Or AkriviA

[@watchguy79]

I like both of those brands. Their movements on the back side do more for me than the watch itself, nice sleepers.

[@49fiori]

Nothing beats F.P. Journe - he makes the best watches, and that's it.

[@craig2100]

Excellent video, and as great choice. Cheers!

[@michalchladek6737]

First of all, thank you for your videos. It is a pleasure to watch them, even if it is about some piece that do not interests me. Could you make some about Stowa, one of the original producers of pilot watches?

[@robertsullivan4773]

Great educational vid on a brand I really didn't know that much about. 😊

[@officialMainspring]

If I ever get the money together, I'm getting one of these... awesome vid, as alway!

[@resellpanda88]

Enjoying your videos. Learning about watched besides Rolex. Please keep them coming. Anyone suggest a new watch for me? Currently have a ss Daytona as my daily driver. What else is out there?

[@SS-rz1oc]

Well done. I enjoy the information about this art.

[@kalamarusffm]

Apart from Dufour, FP Journe is one of the living legends of watchmaking. I hope he sticks around for some more decades

[@ShazibAhmed]

.... but nothing can match the exceptional craftsmanship of A. Langa

[@john_miller_]

Idea for your next video: Most interesting crowns in the industry. :)

[@ezee-e]

firmly believe its the most upper echelon of finest watch design and craftsmanship plus the most unique dial layout designs

[@Janus_Icon]

Whats with the date window though? Its off center and its bugging me.

[@omax1023]

My mind is now full and contempt! Thank you WF&C!

[@Tee_Cee1601]

Beautiful Masterpieces! I hope that one day I can be a proud owner. Great review, thank you!

[@Manaz101]

A Francois Paul Journe watch IS my grail! I love the simplicity and dynamic dial of the Chronometre Bleu 😍😍😍

[@j187211g]

Can you do a video on the Rolex 1630 please. I have one that my father bought me when I was born in 1976. I've had it my whole life! It seems that no one knows anything about them. Even the Rolex dealers and experts in my city thought it was an oyster quartz that had the movement replaced. Of course the center links on the bracelet tell the truth....lol Thank you. And love your videos the most!!

[@edenfairbanks3769]

What a wonderful example of skill combined with the ultimate good taste. The wonderful use of gold inside the case! No pretentiousness by an awful, display of it; confusing this masterpiece with --jewelry --. I was concerned with the use of 22kt gold as, to its softness; only to be instantly put at ease--by --the use of 18kt ,for the parts requiring more strength. A truly, breathtaking timepiece, that can be worn, with humility: utterly beautiful. Such a piece makes me feel: the soul of creativity is far from extinguished .

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Love the tear drop hands, very unique and classy!

[@thewristwatchexperience8153]

I like how the numbers 3,4,8,9,and 10 have been shrunk instead of being cut off- nice touch.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

The Wristwatch Experience I like that a lot.

[@psatwal4050]

You can take numbers off to be replaced with markers?

[@menaseven9093]

I like the FP Journe gold rotor and gold movement.

[@freddiebrookessmith]

Really like how you are now including images of the other watches and features you mention during the video!

[@jrlee1031]

FP Journe is one of those watch brands that nothing negative is to say about. And what's impressive is that they don't have a decade of history to offer yet. So who knows what they'll become in the many years to come.

[@inscriptionmail5185]

Yes the finishing of the movement

[@thatgladiator3887]

Can someone explain why they glue the seconds subdial in the chronometre blue? It annoys me but there must be a reason, right?

Also, that's a really great philosophy in general. Everyone talks about the old masters and how everything now is terrible, but if you know how to look for it, whether it's music, watches, books, art, there is always absolutely amazing things being created. The only difference is that in the old stuff, people only remember the best.

Lovely pieces. He deserves his success

[@thegamingbegginers5777]

Not properly finished Palet fork 3:57 is the biggest disappointed for me killed the whole vibe, u never expected to see that on a watch that costs a fortune

[@richarddavis7548]

My Journes are the favs of the collection!

[@Alex-dv2xr]

Would Love to see a review of the David Candaux!

[@ianferris]

1:38 looks like some kind of eye illusion. Great video as always !

[@markusmarkus2164]

using gold for the manipulate and bridges is very cool and different but considering that gold is soft it's impractical and very flashy, if you adjust the jewels it wears out much faster

[@glord49]

Excellent video.

[@sangwoomah698]

Now this is something to aspire to. Its art that you can take with you. I'd trade all my watches for one of these.

[@-JohnGalt-]

My god. What a beauty...

[@josephm.6453]

The correct holy Trinity is PP, ALS, and FP Journe

[@jandoerlidoe3412]

Very nice dial, but because the numbers all face to the center , the 4, 6, 7 & 8 are upside down, while the 3 & 9 are lying up their side...

[@llcharl1e]

You're right. Im even more impressed now.

Gorgeous looking watch. Outstanding really!

[@jcotteri]

What a pleasure to listen to. Justice? Yes.

[@user-wi9nn6dz8w]

The corner cutting with F.P. Journe watches is in the movement finishing...

[@nishanlife4984]

Nice intro.. maybe an ancient engraved ring would be a good addition on the table, I could be wrong..

[@ajaykowshik8078]

Can u review F.P Journe TOURBILLON SOUVERAIN claibre 1519 !!!!

[@enriqueali]

Remarkable that the narrator somehow managed to completely omit any mention of the unevenly sized numerals on the dial. Surely as polarising a feature as any other, if not even more so.

[@ahmedsallam1179]

The biggest appeal in this brand is that comparing to other high end makers is the value for money

[@Demonaxis]

I like a lot of this watch, but the off-center date window is really not to my taste I think. It's definitely at its strongest when flipped onto its front so you can see that lovely movement ^_^

[@NikitaAnnenkov]

Demonaxis that date window ruins the whole watch for me.

[@babakht]

Exactly

[@JBOsurf]

Journe, Lange and Ferrier. The new trinity.

[@KathleenMayTSurla-zx9ft]

Just a Question do they have a Ladies watch?

[@thigusssalgado3672]

Can you give us your opinion about Rado , pleeeease !

[@goodtips8973]

Maybe it is not premium watch but surely very fresh brand too Raymond Weil. I'm lovinig it.

[@AmarDamani]

The position of the date window & second dial though :-( I have a thing for symmetry & alignment...

[@robertosanchez4021]

One of my favorites brands....

[@Brandizzle88]

Best part of Friday!

Love FP Journes. Centigraphe the most.

[@oh033]

Man one day...Ill get one from their beautiful NYC boutique

[@vedmalvankar1496]

What's the price?

[@77cjam]

Clearly an impressive movement but not really a fan of the dial particularly the numbers. But beauty comes in all shapes and sizes even if not to your particular taste

[@donjuan150]

Funny....that is why I love them because of their legibility

[@yooofrankiee8167]

I’m soo fucking glad you did one on F P Journe!!!

[@TenCoJeCool]

I would love these videos in 4k

[@raikahoken]

This FP Journe is beautiful. But I just cannot get over the shape of their hands

[@Utoob8]

Its so distinctly Journe though that it would be like saying you like Rolex but hate the Rolex coronet logo.

[@nikhilna5095]

Man a FP Journe I can’t even afford these stunning watches, but they are stunning

[@EventHorizonMK]

I just went to a high end jeweler the other day and they had this FP I had never seen before, it was a vertical tourbillon. Price tag of 275k.

[@niwa957]

Some daring statements, to say the least. Admittedly technically advanced, the brand produces its share of esthetically dubious concoctions (Linesport anyone?). As long as that happens comparing the brand to A. Lange & Söhne is farfetched. The featured watch is excellent as is the video though.

[@vaughanatkinson8421]

The actual detail, and amount of it, is amazing! It is literally a marvel and a thing of beauty crammed into an infinitely small space!!

[@thornmatthew8395]

Love love this brand and this watch.

[@ethanwasserberger6869]

So interesting

[@progordie]

What an amazing pice of art

[@EscapementWatch]

The BIG number 1 2 and small 3, 4, and big 6, 7 and small 8, 9, 10 drives me MAD!

[@eliasferlander2081]

Great one! Do a video on Sinn Spezialuhren.

[@watchguy79]

FPJ are amazing. In my top 3 brands, independents and all

[@wesammansour1486]

Magnifique!

[@dparis2172]

How do those who bemoan the slightest deviations from design convention reconcile the asymmetry of the FP Journe dial - or do they? If they think the addition of a simple date window at 3 o'clock ruins the symmetry of a dial, they must think the FPJ is a hot mess.

[@alvinkoh5556]

How is F.P able to make 800 pieces of watch per year if he is doing it all by himself, and at that level of details and workmanship? I will be surprised if he can even handle 80 pieces
