Took this photo a few days ago. Was thinking about why FPJ watches are so special. Yes there’s a very limited supply. The man is a legend in watch making. The watch has a revolutionary design with every element is thought through. The movement is amazing and unique. I love the feeling of the rotor winding the watch (you can really feel the vibrations up the arm). But it’s really about wearing the watch. The weight. The look and feel. The balance. The way the dial looks differently in different light. Everything is just perfect. It’s art! Feel so privileged to be able to experience this.
