F.P. Journe

Last week I had to drop off a watch for service at the newly renovated Boutique, so I grabbed this opportunity take some pictures to show you the place and a few watches. (Perhaps You have already seen th e my post from a former visit. If you missed it, h...  

It looks a very nice boutique and the watches aren’t bad either!!

Thank you for your kind words, GWIS. Welcome here 😊

And for all your support

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.

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.

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... 

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.

Also thanks for the explanation about the different models 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for your feedback. It means a lot😊 see you around here

Lots of eye candy here.

if You ver come to Paris promise to take y there. The Staff is second to none - really. Always great to read you, dear friend!

Octa Lune and Black label Centri looks great... lots of love for black dial FPJs....

Yes they are very powerful pieces and come across with both elegance and sportiness. Great to see you here. Welcome 🙏

Now, I’d like you to go back to the Boutique and get me every one of them.

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.

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... 

And thank you for the kind words, PaganDK.

PT and Black Dial just works so well. In contrast, for the Optimum I think the RG and Black Dial is the winner.

For the Optimum, I seem to be running around in circles at the moment. The boutique edition is definitely a top contender. My only issue is that I prefer to wear white metals.

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.

Tickets are $5.00 each.

plus Black and gold just seem to work really well together. But you, of course, must also have to take in to consideration that he is a rapper.

To the Black, to the White, the Red and the Brown The Purple and Yellow, but first I gotta Bang bang, the boogie to the boogie Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie...

This how you make the 💰💰for those amazing pieces in your collection.

What a stunning and classy looking boutique. I will definitely visit, next time when I am in Paris. GEO

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.,

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

Another terrific post. Getting to Paris is high on my bucket list and the boutique will be a must stop. Thank you. M4

Its a MUST if you go Paris. We can find a few more via PM if you go there Best Christian

I could spend a few days of my life in there. Thanks for sharing. Vte

Its a lot of fun to be there and the staff is super kind and knows ther stuff really well. thank you for looking. Best Christian

I keep thinking about the Centigraphe. The photos reinforce the desire. Dave
