F.P. Friday is finally here….with a dedication
And even if it will be a work weekend for me I always love Fridays. Today I enjoy the easiness of the Elegante.
On a more heavy note this week started with bad news regarding one of our longstanding members on the F.P. Journe forum. I am, of course, talking about the passing of our dear friend Horology75. If you didn’t see it, here is a link to the original post www.watchprosite.com
Horology75 as we know him, was a regular contributor and long time F.P. Journe collector from way before the brand became popular. He had some amazing watches in his collection. He was always kind and I have Always treasured his many contributions here. He was fanatical about all things horological with a broad and a deep knowledge and a first class taste.
I will miss his posts dearly and he certainly leaves a hole in the forum.
I would like to dedicate this F.P. Friday in his honor. I have taken the liberty to post a couple of his Journe watches below. I hope everyone will join in by posting a wrist shot.
Rest in peace Horology 75. We miss you already.
Christian

Exactly, my friend. I hope so too.
I can t help feeling sorry for his son who must be a young man whith whom he shared the watch passion. HAGWE
Christian, this is a heartfelt and lovely post.
How very sweet of you. This week I attended two funerals and it’s a reminder that life is precious. I did not know Horology75 myself but from what others say he was a very kind man. May he rest in peace.
Dearest Ed, you are so right. Life is so precious and time can not be bought.
Two funerals in one week is just too much. Horology75 was much too young to pass. I feel so sorry for his family. There is no guarantee for us so we better make the best of life. Have a wonderful weekend dearest friend.
Thank you for this memorial post, Christian.
His sudden passing has impacted me significantly, especially as I’m reminded of this every time I log into the forum. His absence does indeed lead a big void on the forum, especially as he was recently sharing a series of posts showcasing his impressive p...
I feel exactly how you described it. He was a great guy. 🙏
Have a great weekend dear friend.
RIP.
Needless to emphasize the profound sadness of the occasion, compounded by the fact another long term friend of ours (Casey) passed away very recently as well. Thank you for the touching post, take good care, Filip
Exactly, Filip. Two big losses for our community. Really sad.
Thank you for your post. Have a great weekend my friend. Christian

Thank you for the beautiful picture
And for your wise words. You are so right. HAGWE, my friend.
Thanks for this Christian, we will all miss his posts.
I always smiled when I noticed a new post from him as I knew it meant several more down below ! Sympathies to his family, I do recall both at least one son and a daughter whose horological adventures he shared here. Today I had something on my wrist which...
Yes, so did I. And he always had something cool to post. And we could all sense his nice personality.
He collected so much cool stuff related to horology and watch brands. You could really tell that he lived and breathed watches. I’m sure he loved your Urwerk. He had an understanding beyond personal fads and had matured his understanding so he could recog...
