Wow, quite surprised
Jun 20, 2017,07:27 AM
I opened the thread expecting another goofy calendar watch but I must admit I am impressed. Freeing the SR/SS complication from a fixed point is pretty novel, and the tilting day/night dial ring is a really intuitive display (if I'm seeing it right).
I also am happy that they didn't forget that it is a watch, and saw fit to use a free sprung Gyromax balance and a nice polished steel escape wheel cap. Having seen the front I would have expected a module on top of some variety of off-the-shelf base caliber, so quite surprised again!
Bravo to the maker. Quite an effort. Pricing is too aggressive but I hope they can find a sustainable balance between cost and price in the future (but keep the nice escapement).
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Brandon

First, it is FPJourne from the shape of the minute hands and the utilisation of “UTC” What I think, you have a 24-hour indicator with a sunrise and sunset indication by blue sector (we can see it at 7am), who’s moving depending of the period of the year l...

Unveiled today: and quite a few popular watch blog sites. Very interesting and truly complicated, and expensive too.
Yes indeed

The movement looks fantastic. I had high expectation and was not disappointed.

Thanks Cazalea for adding the pictures

And yes I wish a conventional hour hand would be included, in addition to the blue arrow 24-hour indicator (which is nice by itself). Also the elliptical globe (I mean those crossing lines and curves) is not really necessary as to my need or taste. With t...
