Few macro shots of my new babe šŸ˜ - The FP Journe Chronometre Bleu

With this one, I can't choose between its recto and verso. This timepiece is a condensed of pleasure. Like a junky, I think I'd need my daily blue fix over the next days šŸ˜

Have a nice week.
























Best wishes

This watch is another example of the front and the back being equally beautiful!

I'm tempted again to order one. I'm not sure, whether I can resist forever

Beautiful shots, Alkiro.

But I'm concerned that you may be stringing along too many high-maintenance "babes". That can get you in real trouble.

Thanks my friend

You're so true. Sometimes, that's almost impossible to select one. And I have to be cautious. They're so jealous šŸ˜ Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks Horo. Very true

Even if I'm not a big fan of FPJ himself, I've faith in him to offer to his clients high end timepieces and very well made. Best wishes Alkiro

Beautiful pictures.

Lovely pictures of both front and back. Looking forward to hearing your ownership views as I've been eyeing the CB for quite some time.

Haha of course!

I am happy to see that you can admire all aspects of your new watch. I think it's one you will never grow tired of.

Oh yes. Hard to be bored by this one

And well done again my friend, but I'm sure you will do plenty more (front and back side), and I'm sure you will surprise yourself with the variation of results for the dial specially from light blue to the darkest almost black color. Thanks for sharing t...

Thank you my friend

Yes, I know, I become predictable šŸ˜ Tomorrow, I'll take few shots from my new spot. That could be challenging but really nice between the dark blue colour of the lake and the shiny blue sky. I know that you can't use manual wind mouvements anymore unfortu...

Yes I know you are right, I made a test and...

 
 By: Mike H : July 17th, 2017-11:07
...it is indeed soft and could be usable but honestly with efforts and no pleasure in winding. So I'll keep one or two very special ones that are keepers and shall have no other choice but to reconsider some others... šŸ˜ž

I fully understand your feeling my friend ā˜¹ļø

If wind your beloved watch is a torture, that doesn't worth it. Best wishes Alkiro

When the light (often sunlight) hits the dial just right, the multiple layers of lacquer lead to an illusion of depth. You can see the numbers seem to have reflections below the surface of the dial. Something to discover (and take a picture, please)!

Very nice

Some great pictures of a fab watch You're managing to get some very nice details Cheers JML

Thanks a lot JML

Macro shots of the dial are particularly hard to take due to a lot of reflections. I will do better next time šŸ˜‰ Best wishes Alkiro

Aaaaahhhhh you got one!!!

It's really really really beautiful trust me. I can't stop to play with the natural light. So many different hues from blue lagoon to almost black. Incredible! #youwillhaveoneyouwillhaveoneyouwillhaveone šŸ˜‰ Best wishes Alkiro

Simply exquisite!

When it comes to this category, "entry-level" refers to complications, not quality of finishing. Enjoy! J

Thank you very much Shani

That 18k gold movement is entirely something else, just amazing. There's going to be a local AD carrying FP Journe soon, can't wait to see one in person! Wear in best of health!

Congrats!

You won't be disappointed when you'll see it in real. I can easily bet that you'll play with its dial and light for a long time as I do šŸ˜ Best wishes Alkiro

Beautiful watch and ....

...really spectacular macros!! I'm also the owner of this watch and I state that: if only FP Journe made the fines finishes of his moviment, he would be the NĀ° 1 in all !

You could be right but I think there's an equation we have to take into account.

 
 By: Alkiro1 : July 18th, 2017-02:34
FPJ's annual production is around 800 timepieces and I think that's too much to make better finishing. I'm not sure, of course, but I think when you're an independent and when you exceed 200 timepieces per year for instance you have to decrease, or at lea...

I hope you don't mind Alkiro
