I’m Busy - eating these delicious FPJ chocolates!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas as they have a hint of black pepper and cinnamon.This red dial Octa is the perfect companion for this Friday Soirée. 

Please join in. Let’s see some Journe watches or just say hi. All are welcome here. Let’s hear what you are doing this Friday?

Have a great weekend friends

Kind regards 

Christian

It looks really yummy on a dressed-down strap

With the increasing regulation about exotic skins, I would expect such a combo to become more and more normal (for the better IMO)

Thank you Vinnie

What you are saying i correct. Montres Journe have been working on finding alternatives to the exotic skins, particularly for the US market. We don’t have the same regulations here in Europe. However, I often prefer the more casual look of a calf strap.

My favourite is cordovan - colours are somewhat limited but durability is close to 3x calf

and I find the texture great

I agree.I love cordovan. I have several shoes and it’s a wonderful am durable type of leather.

Unfortunately I don’t have any watch straps in cordovan. I need to find a good strapmaker who offers cordovan. I would love to have one for my Journe watches. Do you know one, then I would love to know. Thank you 🙏 Best Christian

I had this one custom ordered from someone in Eastern Europe

But I cannot find his contact details anymore! When I do, I will send you a PM. Other brands which offer entry level cordovan options are Nomos and Fluco.

That’s really nice! Thank you Vinnie

I need a (good) costum maker. First, FP Journe measures are unusual and second I’m very picky about the quality. If you are able to find it I am very grateful 😊
