Ive had mine for a couple of years now.

I can only say I’m extremely, extremely pleased with mine. I can sometimes miss it so much that I will drop everything I’m doing to go pick it up from the bank vault. It feels like a very serious piece of Watch making. I need to be “in the zone” for that kind of watch but when I am, it gives me a lot of pleasure. Like sitting down to listen to a very special piece of music or enjoying a very good meal. It’s not for everyday, all round use, is what I think im trying to express.
Just after I took delivery of it, the performance was not within spec which was irritating, of course. It went back to Geneva and when I picked it up it was the way I should be. It’s a very difficult watch to adjust amd work on and it requires a very talented and patient watch maker. There are only very few watch makers within Montres Journe who can do it. This also means whenever they have to work on a CO, it has to go to Genèva.

I have a nagging fascination with this watch and its unique mechanism. Could current owners comment on its performance? I assume the dry escapement increases the service period time significantly. ...

And have enjoyed wearing it in rotation several times. Many times I just stare at it front and back and feel like it hypnotizes me...😉 ...
Very Satisfied

Ive had mine for i think 3 years now, best watch I own. It doesn't have hacking seconds so I can't tell you exactly how it performs but its a serious piece of kit. For me, its the only watch I will ever need. ...
