Thank you very much for this in depth and fascinating analysis of the FPJ timepiece for Only Watch 2017. It should be the star of this next November auction in my opinion. I'm impatient to see the result of this FPJ but, more importantly, to see what will...

after reading the article twice, the disclaimer statement "a non-professional hobbyist" is difficult to agree with ! Thanks for sharing - very educational & felt happy reading it ! Best, mahesh.,

Superbly analysed, written and illustrated - a masterpiece...

the watch ain't no slouch either... Its fascintating for me to see how much one can read fomr images available - if one knows the facts, takes time to investigate and bothers to interpret. I found your detailed view on the column wheel particularly fascin...

A quick remark - I wrote this purely off mechanical logic and some math, so I could be entirely wrong on the precision part. A watchmaker would be way more credible to verify that! In the case of the Piguet 1185, since it comes in both variants of monopus...
