    In this video, I sit down with Laurent Journe, the director of F.P. Journe's Los Angeles boutique, and go hands-on with some of the brand's most impressive and iconic models. What do you think of these watches from F.P. Journe?

    Back in maybe 2015 or so, I, as a 20-year-old walked into their boutique in NYC, just to look at their watches in person. I couldn't afford anything in there, but they were so nice and accommodating with their time, and let me try on quite a few pieces including the chronomètre bleu. Really made me fall in love with their brand. Hopefully one day I will be able to own one... now just to join the waiting list.

    This was such a great interview. Laurent is so passionate and knowledgeable, and you obviously did your research in advance so you were ready with great questions to get him talking and great insights to add yourself to probe for more. The whole thing just felt really authentic and enjoyable. Really well done here Teddy. Interviewing isn't easy, especially with big personalities in play, and you absolutely nailed the handling of this one. You could feel Laurent's change in comfort from initially thinking this was going to be just another surface deep interview to realizing you were giving him a platform to nerd out about the details he loves and that you were following along the whole time. By the end of it Laurent was obviously enjoying himself tremendously and really leaned into the role of presenting all this detail. You gave him a chance to shine and he sure did, but so did you for your part. Again, very well done. Loved this interview. Keep up the great work.

    "1/100th of a sec, who does that? Nobody, but its cool" Honesty makes the best answer. Also the science behind the Chronometre A Resonance, is pretty cool they both escapement self regulate by nudging each other. It was Christiaan Huygens who observed that his 2 pendulum clocks would sync when they were both hung on the same board.

I was in LA a few months ago, and Laurent was kind enough to give me 10 min of his time (boutique was packed) and he brought 2 of his personal pieces and it was incredible, listening about his perspective of the watches, the brand and where are the going. It was incredible experience. He was such a gentleman and the fact that he let me try 2 of his personal watches speaks greatly about him and him as a ambassador of the brand

    FP Journe has been my favorite brand since its beginning -- there's just something about the aesthetics that really appeals to me. I (think I) remember when a Resonance in steel was just over $20K, around 2000 or so. Now -- well not so much (I see a gold version for $100K on Chrono 24). At the time I was working for a technology company (Xilinx) and my thought was "when the stock gets to "x" I'm gonna get one (I had stock options from a company I worked for getting acquired). Well that never happened and the stock fell a looong way. So no FPJ for me.
    Great video, Teddy. I really enjoyed it.
