In this insightful post, stabilizer introduces a new grey suede strap for his F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu, offering a detailed look at its color and texture. His initial impressions highlight the strap's quality and aesthetic pairing with the watch, providing valuable context for collectors considering similar customizations. This discussion explores the nuances of F.P. Journe strap options and third-party alternatives.
Although it still looks like a good combo. Can you tell us more about the strap?
Really like the stitching! Who made this strap?
But that’s just the lighting or image processing / camera. It is a rich medium to dark grey to the eye. Really pairs well with the CB, and the contrast stitching complements the overall look nicely without distracting, IMO. It’s an FP Journe strap although perhaps made by their preferred strap supplier. The underside is a nicely lined tone on tone, it’s super comfortable and of the highest quality to the touch. Highly recommended!
JR doesn't typically do contrast stitching on alcantara (due to the material properties). The stitching here does not appear to be one of the available contrast threads, although again the post processing may be the reason, as OP noted. BTW, JR is a boutique partner only in the USA. JR does not partner with boutiques in other countries.
FPJ supplies JR with the OEM quick-release springbars, but straps made with these are only available through the FPJ boutiques. JR will of course make straps for any watch, they just won't come with the FPJ springbars.
Doesn't ACM sell straps for FPJ with sprinbars?
