Nicolas (amanico) initiates a compelling discussion on the F.P. Journe Octa UTC Black Label Platinum, specifically critiquing its movement aesthetics. His post invites collectors to consider whether the automatic caliber, despite its functional merits, aligns with the haute horlogerie expectations often associated with F.P. Journe's exquisite dials and cases. This piece delves into the nuanced balance between horological innovation and traditional finishing, a perennial debate among connoisseurs.

A pity the back is not at the level of the front, at least in my opinion. This watch with a micro rotor or a manual winding movement would have tempted me.

It wasn't too unpleasant to stay another day in Paris. Very happy me too, to meet you all again.

The Octa automatic movement has proven its quality and reliability by now. But we know by now FPJ was never really your thing ;-)

One worries when an 800 year old creature wanders too far from his natural surroundings. 🧛‍♂️
