Let's say: if it you would buy one watch but you had to choose between the brands

Depends who's going to live longer....oh, the Brand itself, I meant to say.
Who has a talented, chosen disciple who can continue the legend.
On the watches alone, I would choose LF
It is a close call, though... A few quick thoughts: --I like LF's design aesthetic a bit more...such sensual curves --LF's watches are classic, but not boring (neither is Journe, but I find some FPJ's not quite as well done...some symmetry issues) --gorge...
Horologically speaking, L.F. and F.P.J. both make fantastic watches.
In terms of design, however, I must confess that I'm not a big fan of FPJ's aesthetics, mainly the shape of the hands, the font of printings, and the uneven sizes of numbers.
Across the board, it's LF for me.
I find FPJ design a bit too busy. Except for the new QP, which IMO has the best display of relevant info out of any QP out there.
For me the edge would be for FPJ.
The finishing of LF is superb, and the classically designed pieces are very elegant and wearable. However, I find the diversity of movements for FPJ more interesting, and the 'quirkiness' is charming. Ive also heard various stories about management troubl...
I would lean toward Journe
Obviously you can't go wrong with either but I like the innovation and creativity of journe. I have become a big fan over the last few years and really appreciate his ingenuity and craftsmanship. Of course LF makes beautiful watches with impeccable finish...
I've already made my decision.
I've got a LF but no FPJ (although it does not have to stay that way forever). Can't post a picture, cause I'm on my way to visit some friends,
Really hard to choose between both and it's not to be nice for these two brands.
For instance, I want a FPJ Chronometre Bleu and a LF Galet Micro-rotor. To be honest, it depends on the models. If I think globally (all the models), I have a preference for FPJ because I like almost all the models which is not the case for LF (not a big ...
It depends on your criteria
If you are looking for a manual winding watch, then it would be FPJ as the Gallet Mirco Rotor is an automatic. If you are comparing an automatic watch, it would be LF as he arguably makes the best automatic watch in the market. Notice that the really top ...
LF has better movement finishing, FPJ is easier to service
LF: 1) Better movement finishing. Everything is superb. 2) Better hands 3) Applied indices on dials are superb 4) All watches are great 5) Rarity. FPJ: 1) (Maybe) better dials in terms of complexity. Depends on the model. 2) Better product range. Some wat...
Thats a tough one .
For now it would be a FPJ as i am looking for one to add to my collection in the near future .
That will depends on my budget :-)
Would love to own a Octa Calendrier . But a CB is also high on my wristlist
The Chronometre Bleu has been on my wishlist for years now
Why didn't I buy one?? I don't know why others creep in front of the row....I really don't.
FPJ...
nothing at all against LF... it would be a close call, but I have my eyes on a couple of FPJ's... absolutely beautiful pieces that you would never bore of. Cheers Andrew
FPJ
LF is a bit too refined, restrained expression with almost micro-rotor on all. Also I feel it resembles PP on some aspects - may be just a feeling. I would love the manual wind as a CS & CB. FPJ's quirkiness makes it attractive - IMHO. Best, mahesh.,
Journe
I have a rose gold centigraph, my absolute favorite watch period. Nicer than my dato. Journe for me
