Certainly hope you get your CB ASAP because that watch looks amazing on you! Good luck n do share pics n reviews when you can!
Regarding the accuracy, I personally have low demands on all my watches however I do notice it is keeping an exceptional accuracy during my rampant rotation (usually less than 2 days straight).
Maybe some other owners can kindly chip in on the technical side.

Can fellow collector please kindly verify how do one knows if their FPJ-CB is full wound? Does it just stop winding? 🤔
Looking forward to your kind feedbacks so I don’t over wind the CB. I always give it a good 40 turn n I stop winding. Please share your practices. Thank you! HAGWE! 🥂 Jen ...
Congratulations on your CB
You can feel a stop, where you can’t turn the crown further. Then it is fully wound. Best Christian
Does this actually do anything?
Genuinely curious. My understanding is what you hear when you "unwind" are the breguet teeth similar to a ratcheting system.
Beautiful watch. You’ll get used to the hand wound natural feel.
Just enjoy the watch. It’s amazing!!
instructions from FPJ
Hi, I'm new to all of you. Always enjoy browsing the site. It's a pleasure to see such camaraderie. In the instructions it says 38 turns which is what I do and I find that I get the full duration. What a splendid piece!
Welcome to the forum! I have been here coming to 12 years! A great community!
I thought I read something like what you mentioned however I just want to reconfirm. Do share some photos if you have the chance! Despite no photos will ever do CB the justice, it’s such a beauty not to snap some pics! 🤩 HAGWE! 🥂 Jen
Excellent words of advice/wisdom from all.
Any comments on the real-world accuracy and precision of the CB? I hope to be able to acquire this particular model within the next couple of months, and hope to be pleasantly-surprised by the Master's delivery of true 'Chronométrie' Eager to hear everyon...

Thanks for the prompt response and kinds words
I’ll certainly share new photos and a quick review once I pick it up at the end of March. HAGWE Hussam
One of the most accurate mechanical watches I own
Mine is less than 1 spd deviation when worn. If I don't wear it for a couple days it will gain up to 2.5 spd. And while we are on the subject of winding, I tested the power reserve once and got 64 hours out of a full wind. FPJ advertises 56 +/- 2 hours.
Awesome! Thanks for the informative input
I wouldn’t expect anything less from the grand master. Now, on to the next question: how do you accurately set the timepiece, fully-knowing that it doesn’t hack?
