Horological Meandering

This is my 1,000th post. To celebrate it, I have been waiting for my friend Ogygia (who recently turned pro as a photographer) to take some nice pictures of a grail I acquired - the FP Journe Titanium Tourbillon Only 20 pieces were made and sold through t...  

...and great pics ! Well done on the acquisition Rob

And thanks for your gorgeous pics of this beautiful watch. Fx

Sam, First for the 1K "club" and second for the outstanding piece. Of course,the pics are a case apart. Great. Cheers, Nilo.

these are wonderful pictures for a rare watch. I'm very glad you finally came to find one, it's seems to have been a long journey, and I guess it's the beginning of a long story! Wear it in good health Sam. Cheers, Mark (formerly Boréale)

The macro photos of the movement are affected by what appears to be dust. Having said that many of my photos have dust on them but I am an amateur. Otherwise good photos. Regards, Richard.

Huge congrats again....it's a really wonderful piece...looks better in the flesh, even with the professional photography of your friend. Best, Horo

Beautiful pics, great macros. One of my fav watches ever, not my fav color combination, but stunning. Enjoy it. Vte :)

... and equally awesome photographs. Love the way the power reserve is more like a ship's chronometer, where zero is fully wound and 42 is almost empty. So beautiful. Congratulations!!! - Scott

on the 1K posts and the beautiful find. Great photos. JerryW

Congrats.

Great photos and watch. Is the discoloration on the hour hand normal? Perhaps it’s just lubrication remnants??

That watch is beautiful, incredible, a harmonic unity of style and machinery. Thanks for the look - and such a nice job of the photography too! Cazalea

On your beautiful watch and also the stunning pictures. I think it looks amazing on this strap, really unusual. Cheers Andrew

And congrats on your 1K!

And fantastic photos. Enjoy this true beauty. What a watch!!! OpC

... if you can think of 1000 posts in that way. This is one of a series of four Tokyo Boutique anniversary watches from Journe in titanium and RG with a ruthenium dial. Do you think you will continue to chase the whole set? There were 20 Chronometer Souve...

One of the nicest pieces I have ever seen. Marvellous pictures too. Thanks for sharing with us. Sam.!

... FPJ, it is certainly a jaw-dropper, completely stellar in all respects. Thank you for sharing the images, so well done. Best, Sam

It gives a lot of depth to the dial nicely complemented with the glow of the titanium. Beautiful! Enjoy your watch! Best Magnus P.S.: It would have been even nice if the watch would have been clean... ;-)!

thanks for your 1000 posts! Best, CaliforniaJed

Huge congrats, Sam! Both on the watch and the 1K! :) Looking forward to many more (both watches and posts)! Best Blomman

Great purchase and looks great! You might want to have the hour hand checked. Looks like oxidation? Cheers, Anthony

Wonderful topic for your 1,000th post Sam. I envy your collection as we seem to share similar tastes. Well done! OpC

Congrats samwan! Your FPJ Tourbillon is just stunning. Regards, ED-209

Delicious watch and delicious photos! No better way to celebrate your 1k milestone with a new watch! Congrats on both occasions!

is oxidation? cheers PAt

I will have it fixed in no time :) Thanks. Sam

Quite a combination! Congratulations on all! That watch is just killer -- would love to see it sometime (but watch out as I might steal it :-)) Great photos as well -- I see that your friend is a fan of using glare to give depth -- an approach that I am j...

I'm also working to get a photo session with my buddy's FPJ subscription tourbillon, so we can compare! Best, Gary

I must admit, after last night and looking at your post again, I went back and looked at all your previous gallery posts and saw these, among other absolutely gorgeous pieces.. You have great taste and the condition of your pieces is how I would imagine m... 

Thanks for posting. You have given me a new grail now..... Beautiful colour combination, and it looks like an unusual burgandy croc strap if I am not mistaken.
