F.P. Journe

Clearly intended to be a fun tribute watch, not intended to be innovative. "Stones" are glass. Case 48mm. We know rainbow variations are common among brands these days, but this strikes me as especially well executed. The Elegante lends itself well to thi...  

but completely wrong with the dark dial

sell every one they produce. If everyone had the same taste life would be boring.

But this also isn’t for me. But I do think many women and some men would find this attractive.

Years ago, shortly after the Elegante was introduced, I looked at buying one but the 48mm looked too big on my wrist, and the 40mm (which came out first) was too small.

I read about them before and did research a bit. Now you mention desk clock I will re explore! For me the orange and dark dial is the most appealing, though I don't have the courage to wear such a striking piece, maybe one day I will find my more daring d... 

It's definitely very unique and well done. May ask for an allocation. Not sure under what circumstances/ occasion I would. wear this watch.

Nightmare
