As we are so close to Christmas and the holidays are starting today for a lot of us. 

I finished early today and took a walk with the wife and kids to se the sun set. Why? Because today is the shortest day of the year and where we are located the sun sets at 15.43….. how crazy is that. So early and so much darkness. So this day also marks the returning of the light and longer days ahead. Very important when you are living in the northern hemisphere! 

Of course it’s impossible not to think of the symbolic significance of this moment as well. After darkness comes light. 

I had chosen to wear my summer watch. Just to remind me that my favorite season, summer, is on its way. Now it’s time to open a good bottle of wine and prepare the festivities in the coming days.

I wish you all a wonderful Friday with a great FPJ  to brighten your day.

Christian

Hah ! Maybe I’m a little too optimistic but at the very least as you point out we have turned the corner and longer days from here on. Enjoy the Christmas and wishing you and your family the best for the new year. I’m wearing the CTS right now, surprise surprise. However I wanted to share this picture from yesterday evening.

Not good. It’s amazing. I really love this watch. Typical for you the picture is so good. Could be from a magazine. HAGWE Jay!

For me, this is the best Centigraphe, and my reasoning for saying that is not fully based on the metals / colour combination but more so I think the subdials here (which are the same as my CTS) make it a more attractive package overall.

But your watch is an absolute killer. And you have found the perfect band to complement the dial. I love it and very,very jealous ❤️🤗

I actually wore it to a holiday event at the Boutique yesterday and a couple of folks managed to coerce it out from under my cuff. It’s a crowd pleaser for sure, but more importantly it’s a very pleasing watch to own.
