F.P. Journe

Quite Different

 


I saw this in an auction catalog: The red dial, yellow hands, and black sub-dials truly changes the look of the piece. Not to my palate since I am not an automotive type, but I do find the utter change in appearance very interesting. Won't ask if you were the winning bidder.

A limited custom-ordered series of the Centigraphe just finished being auctioned. According to the description only 4 have been produced in 2010 suggesting others may also exist in prior years. The dial is made with the same paint used by Ferrari. The pho...

It's definitely very unique and very interesting... However, I personally still have a strong preference for "normal" F.P. Journe pieces in the traditional platinum and rose gold. When the Chronometre Bleu came out, I thought it was a bit too bleu, the di...

As i understand it, Mr Journe was none too happy to see this piece up at auction......

Not surprised

The watch must have been special ordered, not widely known or made available. Seems odd that someone would order the watch and put it up at auction so quickly. I can understand why Journe wouldn't be happy. I wish I would have known It's pretty cool!!!!

Very nice indeed.

A splash of red gives it such a sporty look.

Very interesting dial....

beautiful but..... I wonder if you could get tired of it..... I prefer the regular dial..... regarding the reason that was placed in auction.... maybe the owner got tired of it, had a bad experience (superstition).... or simply tried to flip it.... thanks...
