The new slimmer bezel on the 40mm case is something I was unaware of, and possibly a game changer for some collectors. Personally, I always found the visual jump from 38 to 40 to be too much for me and much of that was the bezel I think. It's also interes...
Thank you, Jay, my friend :-)

I was also really happy to see this slimmer bezel. I think we will see it in more pieces as the collection gradually updates. About the 38 mm I think it depends on the model and what cases are still available. I am strong in my faith, that one day we will...
Different times, and not that long ago.

I’m conflicted on the fact that I have come back to this same CS (Nacre dial) again and again for several years. And yes, originally it had been in 38mm but that has been off the table for a while now and yet I’ve still come back it again and again. I thi...
It was is my pleasure, my friend.

I think, knowing some of your amazing collection, the FPJ watches would suit your taste. So happy to see you here.
Thanks Christian...

Wow, what a spectacular display of superb timepieces. For me, the beadblasted Pt Linesport takes first prize followed closely by the Ti Rattrapante. Super photos. Thanks for posting. M4
Many thanks Christian for this great article

I know Lucas since quite long, a very kind and competent person indeed. You seem to have taken the time to see many watches and visit the boutique in detail. You surely had a great time 👍😉.
Thank you so much, Mike .-)

It is always a pleasure to go there, as you know Next time I am in Paris, we must meet. this time I didnt call, because it was just a quick trip with my wife. Im hoping some time, this summer good to hear from you, my friend. Very warm regards Christian
This was an excellent and very thorough report, Christian.
By: TheMadDruid : April 29th, 2019-08:25
A great read. Thanks for taking the time to record your impressions and document them with many terrific photos. Especially since I have perfected the skills of getting lost/not finding what I’m looking for in Paris. Didn’t get there. But this post takes ...
Next time, Padj

Thank you for the tour!

My only "complaint" is that after introducing the staff persons who helped you, you had no photos of them ... I imagine all lined up in professional attire and smiling, with white gloves... Cheers, Cazalea
Spot on, Mike :-) ....

I realized while I was editing....Before going there, I had planned on taking a picture of these kind people, but with all the talking and watches going in and out, costumers coming and going, I somehow forgot to do it. Im planning on making up for it dur...
You really should have a look...

There are so many great pieces in the collection, that didn’t get a mention in this post. Thank you for your kind words
Oh yes, she certainly is.

By: JCL920CGG : April 30th, 2019-05:21
Thanks for the great write-up, very informative! Do you think all 40mm watches will now have the smaller bezel?
Very good question
By: ChristianDK : April 30th, 2019-06:09
Im only guessing here!!! New model - i think so. I dont know if they will update all of the existing models. Those with many functions /crammed dials will benefit more. Larger apertures ect. The UTC could be an example that would be improved. I find it di...
Thank you Christian....

I throughly enjoyed reading your report. Having recently re-introduced myself to the brand, by adding a 40mm R/G CS, I am throughly enjoying wearing it. I would love to get the Octa Automatique Lune, as that would be perfect.
Fantastic post
By: NML77 : April 30th, 2019-18:49
and pictures! I’m really intrigued by the new Octa sport in platinum. Haven’t seen it in person yet. Thank you for taking the time to write this up and sharing your experience. Best
My pleasure 😄
By: ChristianDK : April 30th, 2019-21:52
Yes, that piece (unexpectedly) has caught my attention as well. Even after trying it, it keeps growing on me. I think this particular piece works extremely well in platinum compared with the Ti. It is very heavy though. There is a LOT of platinum in that ...
Thank you, for your kind words :-)
By: ChristianDK : May 1st, 2019-21:43
Yes - the blue text. I forgot that. That looks great. There is an refinement and aesthetic attention to detail in the FPJ universe that only find in a few other brands. There is a lot more to finish than anglage and and black polish. Thank you for chiming...
