I met Rémy Cools for the first time two years ago, during the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the FP. Journe boutique in Paris. The location of this meeting was hardly surprising since Rémy had just won the "Young Talent Competition" organised on the initiative of François-Paul Journe, whose

Posting this as my wife is mixing me a gin tonic, I wish you all a happy weekend! - Please join me in posting your FPJ watch 🍸 I love to go back to the Chronometre Souverain.

Jaeger Lecoultre comes back to the Polaris with two new models, the Polaris Mariner Date and the Polaris Mariner Memovox. Polaris, Mariner, two names which have their roots in Jaeger Lecoultre rich history. If you know the Polaris by heart, as it is one of the most popular watch from the Manufacture

Time flies... I have the feeling it was yesterday, the day I picked my Volvo P 1800E near Amsterdam, on the 21st of September 2012. Since then, I have made 50 000 Kilometers with it. I went to Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Belgium, and the Netherlands with it. I traveled almost everywhere i

Jump in and post your FPJ watch to say happy Friday. Here it is miserable, wet and windy but I’m feeling in a good mood. Finally a few days in sight without any plans. I look forward to kick back. Got the Resonance back on the wrist. Life is good! I went to the fish monger and bought some fresh tuna

This year, Jaeger Lecoultre had the good idea to revisit the Master Control collection, and started with the Date, the Calendar, the Chronograph Calendar, the Geographique and the Memovox. So, now, the Master Control watches have a new case, a redesigned dial and for some of them, an improved moveme
