F.P. Journe

Here one of my all time favorite watches, the Octa Calendrier in 38mm with its admittedly polarizing black MOP dial. One of my early purchases and still very dear to me. When I think that I almost let it go...it would be one of my biggest regrets. In a se...  

...and by the way you just made 3000 posts, congrats!

That would be a jewel in anyone's collection. Cheers, John

Hi Alex so great to have you here Your Calendrier is absoluty gorgeous. that MOP dial is one of the most beautiful dials I have ever seen! What sight!!! I think you would sorely regret it if you sold it. You would need more than luck to find it again. tha... 

If Journes are already polarizing this one dial is even more. I think either you hate it or you simply find it adorable - I fall in the later category. the colors that come out of that MOP are mind-boggling to me!

this watch is so negative for my productivity at work, I keep looking at it and playing around with the reflections!

exhilarating it is...plenty of charm! Thanks for sharing Alex !!

glad you like it, thanks for chipping in!

Thanks for sharing

but I have not seen yet another MOP that pleases me more than this one!

impossible to stop looking and playing with the reflections when wearing it! so bad for work, I should only use it on weekends!

The size is good and personally I like the MOP Dial.

thanks for your kind comment!

I cant get over how beautiful that is!

Glad to see that I am not the only one who likes this dial!

I like most of FPJ's MOP (and other natural material) dials. Yours is no exception -- really nice. And I prefer the 38mm size, too. Good call on not selling it!! I'm curious -- since you've owned it for awhile -- has the calendar function on your watch al... 

I have owned the watch for abt 6 years now and have not had any issue at all, not once. It is not my daily wear (I actually do not have a daily wear watch, I rotate almost each day) but I have used it quite a lot, perhaps in my top 5 watches worn. Were yo... 

I had some ongoing difficulties, described here , since I bought the Calendrier about 4.5 year ago. I haven't felt like wearing it too often since I got it back this last time, but it hasn't malfunctioned since then when I have worn it. I still love it, t... 

Top design, top materials, top movement, perfect dimensions, very rarely seen. Very hard to find something that's not at the maximum level here. I understand it is a productivity killer! Enjoy it and post some other pics!

It is a very special watch for me, like a jewel.

My favorite Calendrier

Not sure I've seen all variants, perhaps there are some rare handcrafts floating around, but of the ones I have seen this one is my favourite. Thanks!

And the ever changing mother of pearl dial gives you a 1000 looks in one watch, and the best is that all of them are just awesome! Enjoy it in good health 👍🏼 René

Different aspects or "shines" depending on the angle and type of light (sun/artificial). Here on its silverish appearance. Thanks for chipping in! ...  

I am in love with this watch!

I love it! Thanks for sharing. René
