Happy weekend

And a happy one to you 👋🏻

The color scheme and layout of this chronograph is wonderful. Not to mention the movement. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

It’s a watch grows and grows on me.crazy color scheme but the more I wear it the more I love it. Have a great weekend, E.

Trying on my friend’s newly acquired Devine. FPJ magic was in the air… ...  

I’m still kicking myself for not getting this one. I love the layered dial. They were such a hard sell until they became ultra rare.

Having seen a Black Label a few years ago, and more recently the Boutique Blue Devine (the Black in the former dial like your friends) and the Blue in the new configuration, it’s a watch I like more and more. That said, given the choice it would be your w... 

The is the first I’ve seen the Devine in person and it is impressive.

The Divine would be one of the easier asks. But at the same time we don’t see many of them so I also wonder how many are actually out there. I assume far less than a CS, and perhaps less than the AN also.

Beautiful shot, and I am guessing sushi for dinner? best, Ashot.

That’s actually a really good idea. I haven’t planned anything yet but I could definitely do that 🍣 Have a great weekend, Ashot!

And I really like the strap with this one - great pairing. No FPJ for me today - going with this one. ...  

Not sure i know this one. Pls tell us more about it? Have a great weekend my friend

After 20 months with the team at Artisans de Geneve I received my homage to the 6263 ROC dial Daytona - Pink Beach. Rolex never actually made this particular watch but I wanted something that while modified was sensitively undertaken. With your response -...  

Modding is like walking a tightrope but the details are impressive. Amazing what they have done with the movement. Skeletonised and with bevels. Just incredible

Removing the crown guards was the biggest issue. This was the first 126500 they had modified. The lugs on this model are different from the 116500 - which were asymmetrical and thinner on the crown side. Initially they were reluctant to remove but found a... 

Im assuming you are involved in every detail. But how did the project take off. Did you have an overall idea of the design or did it develop during the process. Two years is a long process. How long was the design period and the work period. I’m really cu... 

So we started with a 126500LN - this one. This was the first speed bump. I had paid the deposit and awaited delivery of the Daytona from my AD but in the meantime the model changed from the 116500 to 126500. One of the changes related to the lug design. T...  

sharing all these insights in to a world I don’t know much about. It’s amazing how far AG can take things ie the case work and everything seems to be made to the highest level of quality. I am also impressed with how they work out samples for you. I think... 

I had previously commissioned a piece from Kari Voutilainen so learned a lot about myself in that process when it comes to making choices from an infinite pallet. I suspect it makes life a lot easier for the Artisan when then customer has a plan and stick... 

I don’t recall seeing you post it since I read the initial report on the incoming. It’s so so cool.

This guy had his Daytona modded too! www.fratellowatches.com / nice shoes. dog...disinterested ...  

Hope you’re enjoying your travels 🤗

FPJ is one brand I wish I hopped into before the craze. The Purdey shotgun dial is still the one I want, even though that came out mid-craze. Your piece is quite appealing, my Friend. I hope all is well your way!

It’s a special aesthetic on this one and the first time I saw a picture I had to give it some thought if I liked it. Now I can’t get enough of it. I LOVE that experience with a watch. How it can challenge our taste and then slowly win us over. It expands ... 

I just spent some time with the someone that was integral to that project, and his watch which is actually on a bracelet. It was a great idea, well executed. Even if to me there were some dials that worked better than others. No one was to know how that u... 

Always a real treat to see your watches!

I wish you a happy weekend, my friend.

A day late I know; I was moving around a bit yesterday and so the day passed me by a bit. Some big FPJ news for me this week; I actually went to the Boutique and put a formal request in for a watch. Obviously much patience and waiting is required, however...  

Now you really have me curious about what you have requested? Totally understand if you want to hold it to your self, but I bet you have considered carefully.
