A couple of FP Journe pieces

Feb 08, 2018,10:59 AM
 

Stopped by my local FP Journe boutique and got the chance to try on a few of their pieces.

Although not really my taste, the CM is an interesting piece, and the combination of the frosted gold and black go quite well together.
As for the Holland & Holland, it has a stunning dial, and that brown strap makes for a perfect combination.

I’m as disappointed by this new FPJ chrono as I was thrilled by the one released for Only Watch. What a shame!

The Holland & Holland is much more beautiful. At least for me. Best wishes Alkiro

I agree! [nt]

This new chrono is a might-have-been for me ☹️

Did you see it in person yet ? [nt]

No unfortunately because I could change my opinion about it perhaps

That's exactly what I thought.

Yes, it does look "cheap", and although the case is heavy as it should be in gold, the bracelet is very light (similar to titanium) in comparison. The bracelet is what I felt made it look and feel cheap. Reminds me of certain Swatch models. It certainly d...

After our lunch in Geneva I got to see the watch.

I saw all 3 models and I just confess that the watches look a million times better in person. The lack of lugs makes it very wearable despite its large size and the rubber/metal combo also works. ...

Well, I hope to see it soon in real to confirm or not my first feeling

Agreed, Alkiro

I think it is a Huge disappointment aesthetically. Taking inspiration from the Line Sport that was never a big success anyway is so strange. Imagine this in the classical Pt case, without the date and when FPJ designs a nice dial it is really nice. It cou...

I still don’t know why they did that ☹️

The Holland and Holland is indeed a thing of beauty. I’ve tried that one but haven’t yet seen the new release. I shall reserve judgement for now..!

I'm curious about the bracelet...

What is the material between the links?

Rubber

 
 By: Skyrider01 : February 8th, 2018-14:25
All the black parts on the bracelet, as well as the crown and the black strip on the 9 o’clock side of the case are rubber. This is a characteristic of the LineSport models.

Here are all three versions

While I'm not sold on the gold one, this platinum version looks great. By far the best of the 3. Only one has been made so far. No 000. ...
