Hello ive been lookin and dreaming about the journe sports line watches since i first saw them on youtube and IG not that i can afford it (yet) but i just really like the look of it. Unfortunately there is no Fp journe Ad or boutique in my Hometown so i cant see and judge it in steel.



Been wondering does anybody in this OF have any of them and would be kind enough to give some mini review about them please, especially about how does it feel on the wrist with its relatively huge diameter 42mm-44mm. Thanks.

Sorry, I have only checked the Classic line on my wirst. It is a alternative for a PP or Vacheron. The Sports line I have never seen before. It is Not my style. 馃槈

Don鈥檛 own either of these models but I鈥檝e tried the centigraphe titane and the monopoussoir
- as much as I like the centigraphe the monopoussoir is a showstopper. Unbelievably light in the titane, and don鈥檛 let the case size get in your head, as the lack of lugs allows this to ride so smoothly on the wrist. I usually don鈥檛 like anything above 40 but these are an exception.

Have tried one on once at the boutique in Hong Kong. Titanium, extremely light. I found them very unique... not my personal preference for the price.

I feel like the closest comparison to feel on-the-wrist was vintage omegas with integrated-bracelet from the 1960s, if you've ever tried one. It's a bit dainty. Even though it has an integrated bracelet, I think most modern rolexes feel more 'solid'

All I can say is why of why did they get rid of the original Centigraphe!

They really are unique and beautiful watches.
A friend was an AD for quite a while so I was fortunate enough to play with several.
Negative #1 is service can take a while BUT it what you expect when buying a smaller manufacturer piece like this.
Resale the market on used pricing tends to be fairly stable one pieces like this BUT it can take time to find someone looking for a unique piece like a FPJ
I really love their Elegante'. Its their quartz sports line, its light, its unique, its comfortable, has lots of fun colored straps which are very easy to swap and how the movement goes to sleep and jumps to the correct time as soon as its moved is just way cool LOL
