F.P. Journe

I have been looking forward to sharing my pictures and my impressions on the FFC. The new FFC (Francis Ford Coppola) is so different from other Journe watches….. and it surprised me so much, even if I had already seen the FFC several times in 2021. I have...  

This is a watch that I would be proud to own and enjoy. I’ve never believed in the “exit watch” but this just could be it ! Thanks for sharing this with us Christian.

You and I have a taste for the crazy stuff 🥂

...put it in a safe, and take it out in 15 years and sell if for a profit. I admire the craftsmanship, but not for me...

Not for my wrist as it seems a little too medieval torture glove for my liking. Those who get one will have something very cool

Oh I wish I had 10x more discretional budget to happily sign up for this watch.

For me this piece grows and grows despite it being so outlandish

But I do highly respect the innovation and mechanics behind this project.

...  

Yes I understand. One has to appreciate when so much creativity is invested in a watch.

You almost have me convinced. 😉

So I have already placed an order in your name. You are going to love it

I had forgotten to do it myself!

I wonder how that happened...

Thanks for this excellent explanation and post

You are exactly the kind of collector who can appreciate the uncommon. Very happy if you enjoyed it

That I was hesitant about the ONLY WATCH but if we see the unusual pieces again they can sometimes open up to us. This one certainly did that with me. And the more I think about it the more I like it.

This is much cooler than the Zeitwerk - there's no comparison really. Nothing else is on the market that's even remotely similar to this outside of some Harry Winston OPUS concepts. What an awesome way to read the time! Bravo Francois. Bravo! Encore! Enco... 

some of those also went gaga. In the good way 😊 and yes, with a zero less would help also. Incredibly he has already taken more requests than he is able to fulfill. What I am hoping is that some of what he has developed technically in this watch will drip... 

I like your Trickle Down Economic Theory!

I am much more drawn to this version, amazing what a change of colour can do. But also it’s a result of time, I think the idea of the watch, its implementation is now more familiar and perhaps that allows for more appreciation of it. Like you, and like 99... 

And this rendition did a lot. Ha has a recipe for the ONLY WATCH of Bleu (with the orange strap) I did not serve this piece so well. Let’s see what comes ;-)
