Greetings everyone! I wish you all and your families a very Happy Holiday Season!
Well, I turned 60 years old November 1st and I thought I would treat myself to something special. And boy did I!
The Jade dial on the FP Journe Tourbillon Avec Seconde Morte is really a sight to behold. Very unique and
beautifully executed. Because of the fragility of thinly cut Jade, the dial is actually two parts. You will note the space in the
sides of the dial where the Jade does not meet as it is too fragile for such a small thin area.

The piece of Jade was purchased by FP himself is what I was told and he decided to make dials out of it; there are only 7 or 8 of these being produced is my understanding.
I hope you enjoy it. It just arrived and I am really loving it.

All the best,

Eddy

I will take better shots with my camera when I get some time. I cannot promise you "Gary G" type shots, however. He is in a class by himself. I will be trying a grey strap as well as a navy blue also. I was told by the New York boutique that they had it on Navy and it looked nice and also I saw it on a grey strap in a photo from the Japan boutique. Eddy
