I prefer white metals too, but having seen Padj’s in the metal I was blown away.

The black dial, and it’s a big dial, really takes the eye away from the gold case. It’s in no way blingy or in your face. You really need to see one on your wrist, which might not be so easy unfortunately.

It looks a very nice boutique and the watches aren’t bad either!!
Lots to enjoy !...

The mother of pearl dial looks very interesting with the printing directly on it. Just imagine how many are rejected in the manufacturing process . Thank you Christian.
Exactly right, my friend

And I happen to to be told by the guy in charge of dials that 75% break when they cut them. And each blank is quite expensive. Add the lost labor to that.
Absolutely lovely photos Christian!

Now I can see why you mention photography as one of your passions! My only qualm with FR Journe and it is the only one is that I wish they had continued to make 38mm watches. Yes I know for some unknown reason, they did not sell many 38mm watches but I th...
I can very well understand your point, Sham

My wrist is larger than average but a 38 mm works very well. For some model I prefer 40. The Chronometre Bleu is 39 - it always looks great on almost everyone wishes that FPJ would go back to the old 38/40 sizes. In my eyes I was a perfect constellation.
It was truly my pleasure

Now, I’d like you to go back to the Boutique and get me every one of them.
No can’t do ..

Because a very elegant, French couple came in just as I had shot the Nacre and bought it. Especially the centigraphe - I cant believe it hasn’t been picked it up yet. Thank you, my all time favorite Druid. So glad to have you around.
Drat!

Well, I’ll take the rest. By the way, I figured out why I didn’t find the Boutique when I was in Paris in April. The Elysee Palace (I had no idea that was what it was) was blocked off from pedestrians. From your photo I can see the Boutique was on the oth...
Oh.

i plan to be there this weekend, thinking of getting a strap on CS to tone it down...something tan/brownish... I'm intrigued by the Chronometre Optimum...killer ! Best, mahesh.,
Great idea, Mahesh!! To get one too dark, I think!?
By: ChristianDK : September 12th, 2019-05:03
Jean Rousseau also do nice work. they have the exact specs for Journe straps. The CO is haunting me, but I need to take it easy for a little while and sell some pieces first. Thank you Best Christian
