ChristianDK's hands-on experience with the ultra-rare F.P. Journe Quantième Perpétuel, a special edition made for William & Son, offers a unique perspective on a timepiece often only seen in photographs. His initial impression of being 'overwhelmed' by its real-life presence underscores the profound impact of encountering such a significant watch in person. This article delves into the nuances of its design and the community's varied reactions to its distinctive features.
...but I hate (with a passion) that the date doesn't start with '1' at the bottom...and that the numbers were 'flipped' at '19.'
In this case I could live with it ;-)
...but this kind of 'flaw' is so basic and so easy to remedy. FPJ is by no means the only offender, but there is no excuse for bad design/UI...
...but I think it would look great. Not flipping the date/days/months is part of what makes this AP a masterpiece of dial design...
I can’t believe we were both there and I missed you. We will need to make up for it soon.
With regards to 1 or 31 at the bottom, as long as the date arm follows the correct trajectory… not like the PR indicator where it display Kaye’s how many hours was the last time you wound it… Anyways, all this being said, I truly enjoy these Calendriers
