Dinner with mr journe along with some well known collectors.
Certainly the most magnificent and earliest example of a resonance I have ever and will likely ever see. Owned by “thejourneguy” thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience this in person.

How about the last Edition Resonnance with 24 hr dial? At 78k? I love this watch but cost seems high, am I right?

Haven’t worn this in a while, but absolutely love when I do put it on. 38mm is just such a great size for Journe IMO, and I love how versatile it is- can be a dress watch or worn casually. Today I’m dressed like a slob and loving it. Hope in the future FPJ goes back to smaller watches.

This year’s Resonance, with the 24hr dial, may be more rare in terms of production numbers but I’m not sure how much that will help the resale. I wouldn’t be a buyer at retail, or anywhere close to it. But, one never knows how things will go. We don’t know how many of them were sold or how the future demand for the Resonance might be given the new 2020 Resonance. It’s possible that this 24hr Resonance is one of the most limited runs (maybe less than the Ruthinium which trades strongly although it does have other features collectors seek). |

The other visual factor is that the watch looks huge, by that I mean the dial looks huge. It is obviously 2mm larger than the original but I’m not sure if the dial is actually in fact any larger. But visually, perhaps because of the bezel again, the dial seems much larger and hence looking down at one’s wrist it seems like it’s a really large watch. |

Thanks for the input. Life has not allowed me to visit a journe ad at all the past year. Haven’t seen one in the metal.

And Watchbox is premium pricing too; at list on their asking prices. April 2020 is the new release, at least that’s what being said right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This will help lift the aftermarket prices of all Resonances. To be honest, any Resonance at $45-50K in the aftermarket is a steal... so much watch for the $. For most collectors, the Resonance is the #1 or #2 most important FPJ to own, so if you get a chance to add one, do it :) |

I am curious to see the next iteration of this watch. I have noticed that the # of resonance for sale from the usual sources have nearly vanished. Perhaps it is a sudden surge of collectors or the sellers are sitting on them anticipating a meaningful increase? I am anxious to see where the market goes for this one.

I do very much appreciate the smaller 38mm size.

Long time owner, but I’m not sure I’d be a buyer for “any Resonance at $45-50k”. ![]() It would make sense that there are less 24hr than the Ruthenium, even if I’ve seen a lot of the 24hr around. I’d still bet that there will be more of them available for sale in the future than the Ruthenium. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Agree on the symmetry. To me this 24hr dial is a dud, it doesn’t work. Either be symmetrical like the originals or clearly different like the “parking meter” Resonance. Agree on inventory too. Dealers have put them back in their drawers, the market is incredibly dry. Of course one dealer likely has a significant stash. Buts that markets, and if you can control them good for you.
