F.P. Journe

...  

Slightly thicker than expected at 10.7mm cased. But then again, it's got an impressively long power reserve, so that main spring has to go somewhere!

I like the redesigned dial but the 40 mm is still the better choice compared to the 42mm.

This year is not a big year for FPJ in terms of novelties but some nice smaller surprises. Thank you for looking my dear friend.

This was actually announced las year but we never saw any press release. So while you could say it is old news it’s was good to finally see it. I think it is closer to the original from 2001, as you say that the current one.

So while it’s basically the same movement (cal 1300) it has received some improvements over the years. So it is now it’s 3rd variant named cal 1300.3. I spoke with Francois-Paul about it last year. He considers the current one a much better performer than... 

I was in Paris recently and had the pleasure to see 2 pieces in the flesh: Souveraine and Classique Lune. Lucky me I tried on the Souveraine and found the case more fitted than the Classique. It felt really good on my wrist. The movement also looked clean... 

It’s worth the waiting time.

As with all things Journe there is the waiting list as as he refuses to increase his production.

Thanks for posting such a detailed anouncement. That watch is gorgeous and I hope to be allocated one someday

I love the Octa range. I cross my fingers for you 🤗
