The overall package …
Dear Melvyn
Thanks for your comments. It’s reassuring to hear that the Manufacture has made progress in this area, and in the end it comes down to the overall package of design, emotion and innovation, which FPJ excel at.

Thanks again
Andrew

Andrew, Do you really want to go there? I was not being "obtuse".....just diplomatic. But if you want to ask............ FP Journe now makes nice gold movement plates that people can focus their attention on - beautiful. The average owner does not need to...
Pass the can opener …
Dear Melvyn I don’t mean to open any cans – just truly interested in FPJ watches and wanting to understand not only their strengths (that are apparent to all of us), but also their weaknesses. It’s a relatively young company that has come a long way and I...
Thanks
Andrew, IMHO, I don't think the topic is inappropriate. In fact, it is very appropriate. I actually had the same question as I am considering buying a FPJ watch.
