Andrew Luff offers an exclusive first look at the F.P. Journe Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante from Geneva 2018, showcasing live images of the gold, platinum, and titanium versions. His initial impressions highlight the distinct characteristics of each metal and spark a lively community discussion on aesthetics and wearability. This post provides valuable insights into a significant F.P. Journe release.

So which flavour do you like...  (if you missed it, the original press release it was HERE...)

Gold...



Platinum... (with a blue/purple dial)




Or super light Titanium...




Personally... I love the case of the titanium version as it is superlight (like the old sports line), however I am not a fan of the 'S' on the dial which for me is a real turn off.  In a dream world... I would actually like the platinum dial fitted on the titanium case (not possible I already know smile )

Cheers
Andrew

I've seen a few wrist shots already and it seems the watch does wear smaller than the measurements would suggest, I guess the lack of a traditional lug helps. While I could not wear it, not my style, the RG is a winner for me. It's full on RG but with the finish and mix of materials it comes across far less in your face than some others. Re your comment on the mix and match (dial and case), I too would agree that the dial on the Ti like its predecessor let the watch down a little. But why no swi

For my mind, there is something “Not quite right” about the aesthetics - maybe it’s the bezel. Intriguing complication but the whole package doesn’t quite grab me. (I could be in the monitory though) Cheers

While certainly very nice, its quite busy, i think that bezel is too much

I was pretty cold about the release on first viewing but these make them look a bit better. I'll have to reserve judgement until I see them in the flesh. I have my Centigraphe 10 year HK anniversary edition so not sure about adding another chronograph although the titanium is nice (and as commented, looks better on the wrist than the 44 size might have suggested).
