Congratulations if so, but I'm not talking to you any more.
PM me with all the gruesome details.

F.P.Journe Mother of Pearl Boutique Editions

I had seen them in pictures, but when I visited the Paris F.P.Journe Boutique recently I was able to view two delightful pieces from this collection. Firstly there are mother of pearl (MOP) Boutique Editions of the Chronometre Souveraine, the Octa Automat...

but so are clothes like a dinner-jacket as well. For special occassions I would love to own one of these. You (or at least me) don´t need them that often, but when you wear them it is just perfect MOP is great for special occassions, but it doesn...

... especially when applied decently (and tastefully) as in this case. These watches are real beauties. Regards, Marcus
Those call to mind...

...the black MOP Resonance. MOP can be a tricky addition to a "man's" watch, but oh, that black Resonance.... If only we had a Journe forum. Cheers, pplater.
It haunts my dreams ...

In fact, is that mine before the previous owner sold it to me?

... the MOP dials look so different under changing conditions. I'm sure your photos will be lovely. Hopefully you have something of the Octa Automatic Reserve as well? Andrew
Accuracy?

Impressive

That's an impressive record for the 2 FPJs you've had. I've generally noticed that when one get into the upper stratosphere of horology (e.g., FPJ, Lange, DuFour, Patek, etc.), the presence or non-presence of "COSC" certification becomes an absolute irrel...
Sounds like you have heard some rumors, Tim?
By: AndrewD : March 24th, 2014-12:16
I have a few more Journe related topics to share, but nothing on new dials. Always like to be surprised by Journe. Quite a remarkable laboratory if ideas given that Francois-Paul is so dominant a figure. Andrew
Andrew, thanks for sharing these.
By: CaliforniaJed : May 6th, 2012-07:16
They are gorgeous. I don't see myself ever wearing an MOP dial, (not in Queensland anyway ) but I can appreciate how beautiful some, like these, can be. Best, QJ
Agreed. For a small manufacture

... producing under 1000 pieces per annum, they do a remarkable job keeping the lines interesting and innovative. Andrew
Love the moonphase here...
By: dxboon : May 7th, 2012-16:57
...but the salmon and MOP on the RG CS is creeping me out. Something weird and fleshy about that one. Daos
Beautiful dials.
By: VMM : May 9th, 2012-09:45
Those blue numerals look great on the MOP dial, to my eyes. Thanks, Vte
