MUST HAVE NOW!
I think I am going to Cum!
F.P. Journe is a true watch collectors wildest fantasy. It’s bold, yet understated, technical yet simplistic round and now touneau? This brand is known for it’s round cases and complicated movements the last ten plus years, which has arguably earned them the number one spot for finest watch in the world. Alas, we are now confronted with a new case design, which is a refreshing addition to the Journe repetoire. The new F.P. Journe Vagabondage 2 has officially become my favorite watch of 2010, in a touneau shaped case and get’s a Rock On Award for it’s excellence in execution. Where do I even begin? The Digital display? The smokey sapphire crystal? The 40 hour Power Reserve? The amazing clear back. Every aspect of this watch is mere perfection. The windows of the digital display of hours and minutes are in the same shape as the case. The cote de Geneve finishing of the movement is arguably the best finishing I have seen, and the fine brushed strokes of the case are almost poetic. The watch is a cross between a Richard Mille and Berguet Tradition, and even if these two companies merged to make one watch, they are still nowhere near this. F.P. Journe has achieved everything and more that A Lange & Soehne wishes the could have achieved with the Shitewerk, I mean Zeitwerk. Try not to have an accident in your pant while enjoying the technical specs.
The case, available in platinum in a limited edition of 69 pieces, or in 18kt rose gold in a limited edition of 68 pieces, measures 45mm x 37.5mm x 8mm.
Movement is the manual wind FP Journe in-house caliber 1509, in 18kt rose gold, measuring 29mm x 28mm x 5mm, with 30 jewels, 21,600 vph and with a power reserve of 40 hours.
