Took this photo a few days ago. Was thinking about why FPJ watches are so special. Yes there’s a very limited supply. The man is a legend in watch making. The watch has a revolutionary design with every element is thought through. The movement is amazing and unique. I love the feeling of the rotor winding the watch (you can really feel the vibrations up the arm). But it’s really about wearing the watch. The weight. The look and feel. The balance. The way the dial looks differently in different light. Everything is just perfect. It’s art! Feel so privileged to be able to experience this.

Disappointments are also there. I have a nice looking watch, holds perfect time, but the flame did not burn. The most surprice for me is my watch that is not accurate, but i love it, the flame burns. Albeit i own also very accurate watches that gives me a smile on my face when i look at the dial. This is

I'll add that I love the use of negative space on the dial.
