Chronometre Bleu vs. Optimum

[Jay (Eire)]

The Optimum is FP’s watch, or so the story goes. The watch he wanted for himself. Technically it gives you something, and more importantly it is also a very attractive piece in the metal.

The CB is what you say, one of the most versatile watches you could have. That is an absolute bargain at retail.

I saw go for it. Or wait a few months an buy the new Resonance which will be as good as two Optimums. But you might need to add $70k or more plus those two watches to make that trade happen.

I’d love a new or old Resonance! It was actually that watch that got me interested in horology over a decade ago. A client was wearing a platinum with white gold dial version and I immediately fell in love. Unfortunately it feels like the new one will be well out of my range, but I cannot wait to see what Journe has in waiting for us all!
