archibald Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) I guess i get what Journe is trying to do ever since I read the big piece in this year's Swiss Watchmaking Annual, but I just don't like the aesthetics on the Octas, as much as I want to. I'd be content so have one of the better rep factiories have a go at this, especially since they've started to move complications all around the dial (power reserve's @5:00, retrograde seconds all over hell, etc). Hell, as long as they get the seconds moved to the right place they could do a faux PR. I think this watch keeps the general Journe look, but is much cleaner, nice proportion of of the dial elements, a little PoMo/classic mixup, with just enough of the slight oddball aspect that makes you want to keep looking at it, which is, you know, baby, what the archibald aesthetic is all about.
