What is an FPJ "Espace"? [nt]

I'm having difficulty figuring that out. I can see from an FPJ writing that it's different from a boutique, but I'm not sure what it is, and how it differs from a non-boutique AD.

it's like a hybrid between a boutique and AD. They have a space setup similar to a boutique with seats and viewing table within the retailer.

They also have access to special edition pieces that regular AD's don't have access to.

Thanks. Is it correct that they don't actually stock any pieces -- that pieces are available only to order?

I assume that's what would make them different from an AD or a boutique. If the answer is, "No, that's not correct," then I remain confused!

So are they like an "AD-plus" -- basically an AD with additional access to special pieces?

I'm thinking about what my local FPJ AD looks like (which has a display case only) and wondering, "So if this was an 'espace' location rather than my local AD, what would be different? Just the addition of a viewing table and access to special pieces?" Th... 

Yes.. i think maybe photos

Can be search online..

Thanks again for this. I'll ask someone at FPJ for more info, as there doesn't seem to be a better description...

... on the FPJ website or elsewhere online (unless I'm missing something obvious, which is always quite possible). I had already looked for more information about the "Espace" concept on the FPJ website and elsewhere online before I asked about it here. S... 

Some jewelers dedicate a space within their stores to a specific brand-and do not display another brand's wares next to this.

When Cellini Jewelers, in NYC, had a shop on Madison Avenue the owner took a display case and separated it from all the other display cases. He placed only Cartier watches in this display case. Cartier called this a Boutique within Cellini. As did Cellini... 

Table.. sofa..

Anyway, are you coming back to Sg for election? Lol

I don't know anything about ESPACE

 
 By: TheMadDruid : May 7th, 2019-08:21
but I do know that Journe is cutting back on the number of CBs it will be making for the next several years-from approximately 175 to 100. Journe himself said that there would be no more people added to waiting lists for the watch starting in 2019. By the... 

That is correct.

Current waitlist for the CB is at 6 years and they are cutting production by almost half. 100 pieces this year compared to 190 in 2018. The reduction in the CB is in order to be able to ramp up production of the new Tourbillon Souverain and Resonance. Acc... 

Thanks Skyrider01 for the info. 6 years..

If i really want one.. i wont wait for 6 years. I think i might stand a chance within 6 months or 6 weeks.

A master shot!
