I've always been a Druid.
It took Giles to make me realize it. I was at Stonehenge 2 years ago and only now I realize that the "magnetic" sensation I felt there was real.
Hello Rene,
Glad you like it! It is one of those watches that really caught the attention of the wearer everytime it pops under the shirt..
MOP dials are an acquired taste I agree...
I actually do not like most of MOP for men, this one has happened to cross my way (5 years ago) and still has me mesmerised by its beauty. The octa calendrier is the first Journe model that caught my attention when starting my horological journey, I like ...
Interesting Walter. Why is this "not FPJ"? It would seem that FPJ have produced a large number of MOP dialed watches, and so it seems to the contrary that MOP is perhaps "very FPJ".
I would agree that many executions of MOP by other brands can be somewhat feminine, ALS is a good example of this. However I've never had this same thought about FPJ.
Dear Jay, this is my personal opinion. I always say what i think, never what the people like to hear. Everywhere and to everyone. I am not a politic or diplomatic person.

I appreciate your view, I was interested to hear you elaborate as I don’t recall anyone else being as definitive on the subject.
I understand that the dial design of FPJ in many cases is easily identifiable as FPJ, and it’s a strong design language that carries through most of the collection. And so, to your point, why distract from that. I understand this view. For me, I really li...
Thanks for your kind words Jay! Off course, I accept your opinion too, it would be terrible when we all had the same taste.
I think the most important thing is, we have the same opinion about FPJ. Best Walter
If this is signed "Chanel" then when did this deal take place?
Maybe I misread the posts but I thought it was just about to occur. And didn't Journe already do this dial on another piece?
Hi dear Padj,
Just a joke my friend, no Chanel dial has been produced or even announced... I hope they don't make them!
Padj!! When did you become a Druid??
I lived in England for 25 years, let's meet up at Stonehenge!! Best, NickO
