Thank you for posting this, Jay!
The connection is obvious. The Vagabondage line is clearly inspired by Cartier. As some of you know, FP used to design movements for Cartier with his company THA (with Vianney Halter and Denis Flagollet)They designed the Monopoussoir 2396 housed in a classic Cartier Tortue case.
Also notice the thin crown similar to Journe. Like you, Jay I’ve never seen this or anything like it before. The similarities with the Vagabondage is striking. I wonder if FP has seen this or it is coincidence? The flat bezel. The downturned lugs and the brushed finish. The thin crown. The mix of white and colored metal.
Puzzling.
Great post, my friend!
