I had a lot of hopes about this Urwerk / LF... and I have been really disappointed when I saw it

For me, you have too much Urwerk in this timepiece and almost nothing of LF (I talk about the shape and design of this watch).

As I told to one Purist yesterday, I would have appreciate a LF case such as the Galet classic or square with a Urwerk wandering hour system. A kind of meeting between Tradition and modernity. You only have the modernity side.

In my opinion, this collaboration is a might-have-been.

NB: the Urwerk / LF timepiece was not available when I launched this survey.

Best wishes

One week ago after all timepieces for Only Watch 2017 have been released, I launched a little survey to know which ones were the most desirable for you. Several votes and two winners by KO. 🥇 No more suspens, the FP Journe Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattra...  

Look at FPJourne's official instagram

to see an alternative dial which they destroyed. I think Maison FPJ are going to ride a huge amount of marketing out of this one piece. Still don't understand why JLC or VC did not participate; lost opportunities...

Just saw that. Thank you for the info.

Regarding VC and JLC, I think one explanation could come from the fact that they belong to the Richemont Group and only Montblanc and Piaget participate if I'm right. May be Richemont doesn't want too many brands of its portfolio participate. Best wishes ... 

I agree...

It doesn't make sense for Brands not to participate when what many are doing is simply adding a new dial color, case material, or some other minor tweak. It would be great to have all the big Brands represented.

Imho the Urwerk/LF is a winner also as its not a ,,simple,, dail chance or a steel version of a old model . Its a new and beautiful design of two great indie brands .

Killer FPJ

Like you, I'm impatient to see the auction results. Best wishes Alkiro

Very sensible choice in my opinion. The F.P. Journe is superb both recto and verso....

The Voutilainen as a time only watch is very charming. It looks like the Arabic numbers and index are cut out from the dial, very much like Panerai. Sport & Chic! Love it. Thank you for the nice pictures. Francois

My pleasure dear François
