F.P. Journe

I had a chance to try this Octa with the Moon Phase. I think the blue and the brown really works well together. The bright of the blue adds some dynamic to soft brown tone. This piece is really growing on me. ...  

I personally prefer the time-only version due to the cleaner dial, but I must say the lune looks very good on you, too. Best, Daniel

Looks so much better in person vs pictures. I think it is very well executed and I am generally not inclined towards brown dials. The little bit of blue is a nice complement

and it’s dial colour really offers something genuinely different.

Superb design details

The octa automatique lune is a favorite of mine. It has a lot of character.

although I have forgotten the exact process. I was told it was discovered by accident and then developed from there. It think it is super nice with the mood disc. It becomes very crisp and bringer against the soft brown. Also a great choice with the cream... 

Thanks for the photos. M4

Aesthetics really at a high level here. Thank you, my friend!

Thanks for the photos.

My pleasure, Michael. And always great to see you here, dear friend.

Please let me get back to you. I will check with FPJ. I’m quite irritated that I don’t remember it myself.

Great looking FPJ imho 👌🏻

I love the blue tone on this one.

The specific colour mix here, the dial, date aperture and moonphase just don’t work for me. Even on the CS, I’m not sure I like the Havana dial against the PT case.

For me it took some time to appreciate but I changed my mind. How do you like it against the RG case?

It could of course be the issue of a strap. With the right strap the whole watch will possibly change for me. So perhaps my hesitation is based on the combinations I have seen thus far.
