 By: ChristianDK : September 11th, 2019-10:30
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...  

Thanks for the tour.

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

It was a genuine pleasure

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

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 11th, 2019-14:54
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.

Thumbs up! [nt]

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

Thank you so much

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 11th, 2019-15:05
Yes they are very powerful pieces and come across with both elegance and sportiness. Great to see you here. Welcome 🙏

Superb, pal!

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

No can’t do ..

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 11th, 2019-15:09
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!

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 11th, 2019-15:44
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... 

That would be great! [nt]

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 12th, 2019-07:06

Deal :-) [nt]

My pleasure, bonovox [nt]

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 11th, 2019-18:43

Thanks Christian. This iteration of the Centigraphe is by far the most appealing to me.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : September 11th, 2019-18:13
PT and Black Dial just works so well. In contrast, for the Optimum I think the RG and Black Dial is the winner.

You are very welcome, Dear Jay. It really sings to me as well. I was very tempted...

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 11th, 2019-19:00
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.

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

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : September 12th, 2019-03:52
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.

The line starts in New Jersey.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 12th, 2019-11:22
Tickets are $5.00 each.

I agree with your assesment - it really ties in well with the Remontior on the dial

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 12th, 2019-11:35
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.

See, I am Wonder Mike, and I'd like to say hello

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 12th, 2019-12:51
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...

ROFLMAO 🤣 🤯

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

serious virtual tour...thanks for sharing my friend !

 
 By: mahesh : September 12th, 2019-02:22
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

Christian, you're doing a masterful job of keeping FPJ at the top of my wishlist 😂

 
 By: M4 : September 12th, 2019-02:38
Another terrific post. Getting to Paris is high on my bucket list and the boutique will be a must stop. Thank you. M4
